Holy Moly! 281 DAYS LEFT!? Where is this time going?!
Anyhow - im a bit bummed because my mother hasnt been in my life since I was 10 and my father passed away when I was 11. That being said, im a bit nervous about when the bridal party and parents are introduced and they walk out at the reception.... Do they just skip my parents? Does my groom still have his rents come out?! My uncle who basically raised me will walk me down the isle but hes single...and also cant really see well at all so I dont want to make him come out at that point.

Congrats on the 281 days, time sure does fly.
In regards to what you said, I'm very sorry. Is there anyone else that you are very close to? Will your FH's parents be walking down the isle also? Maybe you can get someone that can walk with your uncle into the reception.

Maybe its possible to just skip having family members introduced and just do the bridal party. Talk this over with FH and see if his parents would feel offended if you did it that way.

I'm not having the parent introductions for a few reasons. I've been to many wedding that didn't do it...to be honest i didn't know you were supposed to.

I'd probably speak to FH about skipping it all together. Hopefully his parents will understand.

i wouldn't feel bad about not having your parents be mentioned in the entrance. on that day, you won't even think about it and i would never take away that honor from DH's parents.

We didn't include parents in the introductions... DH's mom passed and he has very little relationship with his Dad so we opted for Bridal Party only.
I spoke to my parents before hand and they were perfectly OK with it.

Listen it's your day. So don't worry if you don't go by tradition or what others suggest. do what you want.

I agree with the above posts. Just get rid of it. Anything that will cause you unnecessary stress--just eliminate.

Re: Kinda depressed
Do you have any nieces or nephews that your uncle could come out with? Maybe thats an option?

Re: Kinda depressed
My husband's parents passed away when he was young and he really only kept in touch with a couple of family members. Not having parents and much family at the wedding was a big concern of his. So at the ceremony we sat my people on both sides of the aisle. My parents were part of the introductions however. But everything went by so quickly that he really didn't have time to even focus on his parents not being there.
