Something for the Mother of the Bride?

Can you ask her to be one of your witnesses? If she's the kind of person who is comfortable speaking in public, maybe have a 'mother of the bride' speech instead of the traditional 'father of the bride' one? You could have her and your dad walk you down the aisle in a 'relay' (or both together if the aisle is wide enough) I'd ask her what she thinks - you might find that she is just happy to enjoy the day with no responsibilities - after all, being 'mother of the bride' is a unique role anyway!

Hi there,

Here are some ideas:

- Witness of your wedding ceremony

- Asking her to also walk you down the aisle alongside your father. Both your parents raised you, so it's a nice touch that both give you away to your future partner.

- Asking her if she wants to do a small speech alongside your father.

- You doing a small speech to include mentioning her as well as your father.

- You could ask her to be the toastmaster for the wedding reception (if she wants to)

Hope these ideas help.

All the best with the planning.
