Wedding role

Wedding role

I am planning on having my mother walk me down the aisle. I have been trying to think of a key role my brother can play in the wedding as well. Our bridal party is non-traditional (MOH & BM & our nieces & nephews) so he will not be playing a part there. I was thinking about having him AND my mother walk me down but truthfully, it may be too crowded with the 3 of us to walk down the aisle without it being awkward. My brother is 6'6" tall with wide shoulders so it really may not work. Does anyone have other thoughts on what he can do? I think he is disappointed about not walking me down the aisle but I feel like my mother should be there (I thought of a reader which is not bad but I was hoping for something more.) We are OK with non-traditional stuff so whatever ideas you may have are helpful. Thanks.

Carmen,

Perhaps he can be waiting for you at the alter (on the "bride's" side) so he can greet you with a kiss and shake the groom's hand and escort your mother (who will be walking with you) to her seat. This way, he is present in front of everyone and still plays a role in "giving you away"...just an idea.

Thanks Glory, that is a good idea re: being at the altar...I think he would like that alot.

Me, My Mom, My FSIL and My Sister were invited to a shower in 3 weeks.
