Untraditional Wedding
We are having a very non traditional wedding - I have no idea how this would work, but lets see who can help- we are having my sister as the maid of honor, his father as the best man, and would still like the following people to "walk down the isle" 1 grandmother, his mother and mine, his brother and then my brother in law - confused? I am- any suggestions would be appreciated - should I ask my other friend to "walk" as well - maybe with his brother to balance it out?

How about brother in law escorts his mother, his brother escorts your mother, & how about someone for Grandma? Also, who is escorting you?..or will you come down the aisle alone?
Ours was alittle "untraditional" too. We both have adult children, so his son was bestman, my daughter was maid of honor, then my son walked with his daughter & his daughter in law & son in law walked down together, then his 9 yr/old granddaughter & 12 yr/old grandson as jr. Attendants, next was my 7 yr/old grandson as ring bearer, & then his 5 yr/old granddaughter & my 6 yr/old granddaughter as petal princesses. The mothers did not walk with us, but were escorted to their seat of honor on the front row by one of the ushers. Since my father has passed away, an older friend who has been like a father to me escorted me to the alter, & then when the pastor asked "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" My son said "My sister and I do."
I hope this helped in some way. Just remember, it is YOUR wedding & you can do it however you want regardless of what is "usually" done at weddings. Make it uniquely yours!
