Son of the Bride- Bride Escort

Donna, 10 June, 2024 at 10:12 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 3
I love my dad very much but ive always said my son would walk me down the aisle. He'll be 23 by the time we get married. I have two queries.. is there anything I can have my dad do so that he doesn't feel left out? And is there a name for what my son is doing. On the website I'll have the bridal party information. I just don't like the sound of bride/bridal escort, and feel that son of the bride doesn't show the importance of him walking me down the aisle. Or am I totally overthinking it?

    I've seen male attendants of the bride described as 'bridesmen' so you could do that - or have him as the 'man of honour' instead of 'maid of honour'. But he doesn't really need a title at all if you don't want one.

    As for your dad, there's loads he could do - apart from the obvious speeches, you could get him to be a witness, do a reading, welcome people - anything really. But it might be worth just asking him what he would like - he may just feel that being father of the bride is enough!

    Hello, I am Rev.Dr.August Abbott with more than a decade of professional etiquette training in international protocols as well as day-to-day proper manners and behavior. This is a question I find more and more common and there is one solution that I not only love seeing, but the reaction from the attendees is usually an audible "Awww!"

    BOTH of these important men in your life can walk you down the aisle. Son on your right side; dad on your traditional left side.

    When asked "who gives this woman...." (quite outdated but tradition is endearing) Dad may speak up and say "I do" - with son adding "And so I" or similar.

    Can you see how beautiful this would be?
