My parents are divorced but I was in my 20's then and they both raised me. They are on good terms with each other. My dad is walking me down the aisle. Between ages of 22 -28 I was critically ill and not expected to live. My mom took such excellent care of me, moved to another city to be near a special hospital and started her life over there. What can I do at my wedding to give her extra special recognition?

Katie, your story moved me to tears. Your Mother done what she did out of love, there's no need for extra special recognition, she wants you to be happy! and healthy!
When you walked down the aisle to your groom, stop by your Mother and give her a flower and a kiss. Tell her "I love you" and please make sure she has a kleenex! My daughter got married last year, and all the hard work, all the stress, all the everything was worth that smile on her face after the preacher annoucned them husband and wife. Worth all of it!
Your Mother is going to feel the same way!
What a pair you two are! May God bless you both, and your father too, with a many many happy years. What a blessing you have been for each other!
God bless us all............
ps. my daughter says when the babies start coming, I have got to move in! I would do it in a heartbeat. That's what mother's do...

Since your parents are on good terms, I vote for both walking you down the aisle. And seat them together in the same pew. Maybe on the back of the wedding program put some special lyrics or a quote or something to acknowledge her. I'd say that's about it, you don't want to upstage your father too much since he's been in the picture too. Best wishes hon.

I don't know if you want to do it at the wedding ceremony or the reception, so I'll include both. During the ceremony you can dedicate the lighting of the unity candle to you mom, or if you do a sands unity you can dedicate that. You can stop at some point during the ceremony and walk down and give her a rose bouquet, you have can the minister say a prayer and mention her by thanking her during the prayer, during the reception you can give a toast or speech dedicated to your mom, etc. There are hundreds of ideas, I hope some of these helped.

I think you should have both your Mom and Dad walk you down the aisle. You could also have a special dance at the reception for you and her. Your local radio station might be able to find a song - my favorite for my mom is "Biggest Fan" I think it is sung by the Back Street Boys or one of those kind of bands and is just an extra song on their CD.

Decorate her chair with beautiful flowers and tulle. have someone walk her down the aisle and seat her in her chair (you should do that anyway)
Are you willing to have her and your dad walk you? If so, go for it. Have someone sing a special song for her (like wind beneath my wings) at the wedding or reception. Make a toast to her at the reception. Present her w/a very special gift at the reception....just a few suggestions of mine. Congratulations on surviving and getting married!!

Well you can let both parents walk you down the isle. You can let her challenge your husband with a poem or something affirming his intentions to be respectful and loving of her daughter. You could have her and his mother light the candles that you use for the unity candle, or you could ask her to be your maid of honor. My husband asked his father to be his best man. Good luck

It would be great if she could walk you down the isle too and also give her a great speech with a standing ovation.

at my wedding we're doing a rose ceremony. the minister will have two roses and you and the groom present one to each mom. its a simple gesture but it includes them in the ceremony.

When you give your talk at the reception, that would be the best time to speak about her.
