FH walking down the aisle before you Vs. him waiting at the alter

A little background… My FH has a twin sister and an older sister. Both of which are not in the wedding party which is OK with FH; I asked if he wanted them in it he said no, it’s OK if they’re not. Then a few weeks ago his mother and his aunt call him to insist (basically give him no choice) that his twin sister NEEDS to be in the bridal party (not his older sister mind you who he is just as close with if not closer). When FH said that he didn’t think that was a good idea, his mother suggested/insisted that she (twin sister) take the “Best Man” role… his best friend since forever is the best man and is so excited about it. Let me just say also, that his sisters are completely OK with not being in the BP! This is coming out of nowhere… his sisters had no idea all this was going on. This annoyed me so much because it’s our wedding and our BP and we have it set already and really don’t want to make unneccesary additions AND because she never considered what I may want or what we want). It may not seem like a big deal, but in my mind I can just see how the rest of the planning could go with his mother making “suggestions”.

The only solution I came up with, which FH sisters LOVED, is to have the two of them walk him down the aisle before the BP and myself (all of the groomsmen will be up there already… I’m not a “GM & BM walk down together” kinda gal). Soooo…my question to the brides-to-be and those who are already married is do you plan on having your FH walk down the aisle before you or waiting at the alter (or what did you do if you’re already married)? And, what do you guys think of this idea?

Sorry for the long vent…

I think this is a wonderful idea. Pictures are taken of the Groom walking down in a lot of weddings. DH brother/best man walked side by side my DH and we have awsome pics.

To include his sisters and hush up his mother, I think this is a wonderful idea. You can also give them a reading part if you want.

I thought about giving them a reading, but I know they would hate that... I personaly love the idea of them walking him down the aisle, but just wanted some opinions. THANKS!

I thought that DH and the GMs were going to be waiting at the altar for me, and that they would just come in through a side door. Apparently, when I looked at my proofs and a video FH's aunt had taken, DH and all the GMs walked down the aisle before the BMs. It was actually pretty cute. It wasn't what expected, but it was really nice.

We had the guys walk in, then DH and his mom, then the girls and then me with my parents.

I think it is a lovely idea to have his sisters walk him down the aisle.....but do you think his parents will get annoyed?

i SO want my fh to walk down the aisle with his parents b/c i think if i have to walk down, he should too. plus, it'd help with logistics and our uneven bridal party. unfortunately, fh is against it.

i LOVE the idea of your fh walking down the aisle with his sister. it's a great solution to the problem and it's a nice sentimental touch.

He should walk with his sister. I feel it's the groom's day as well so they should 'make anentrance' just like we do.

My FH is walking down the aisle with my son.

I think its a nice idea.

my FH is walking down with his dad and brother (the BM) since his mom passed just under 2 years ago and we don't want his dad walking in alone

good luck

I like the idea!! I am having both sisters do readings but if they wouldn't like that I love your compromise!
