Introducing Ushers At Reception
My mother is going to drive me crazy. I have 5 brothers and my fiance and I are trying to include all immedate family members in the wedding party. I want two of my brothers to be ushers at my wedding and be introduced at the reception in as ushers and have them sit at the head table with us.....My mother is saying that this is not appropriate... I feel it is because it is including them and they are a part of the wedding party.... Personally I think shes just upset that my fiance didnt have all my brothers as groomsemen but its not her wedding and thats not fair to him he is only having 3 of his friends in the wedding!

Cindee,
I`m getting married in 19 days and the most important thing that I have learned in planning a wedding is you can`t please everyone. It is your wedding do things the way you want because if you don`t you will regret it for the rest of your life. I don`t see any problem with having your brothers as ushers and sitting at the head table. You want to include them in your wedding and I think that this is a very good way to do so I you are unable to have all your brothers as groomsmen. What your mother has to remember is that your fiance has friends that would be hurt If they weren`t standing next to him and all of your brothers were explain that this is what you are doing and that`s how it is going to be. Good luck with everything.
