@GreenEyedMoon: my mom said she'd do one but then i reminded her how emotional she'll probably be and she was like "crap, you're right! nevermind, i don't want to do that!" so uhh.. neither!
We had my brother and a friend of mine read. To be honest, we didn't really consider having our mothers read.
@elliestan: Oooh, that's a good point. I should just remind her of that. I mean, it's not that I don't want her to do one, but it's mostly that she's going to have stuff to do anyway since she's the mother of the bride, whereas some other people I would like to honor won't.
We're thinking of asking our mothers to read something of their choice. Both of our parents are still happily married and we want to celebrate and honor that during our wedding ceremony. We're thinking of having them find something to read about love/marriage that they wish they knew on their wedding day.
It's not traditional, and I've never been to a wedding where the mother's read but we want to honor/thank/celebrate our parents' for their wonderful example/teaching/whatever you want to call it during our ceremony.
@awagy86: That's a really awesome idea, and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, since FI and I are having a full Catholic mass for our ceremony, our options are limited for the readings themselves. We can find ways similar to your idea to honor people at the reception, but the ceremony is kind of set in stone.
Our dads are doing a reading each and our mums are going to be our witnesses instead

FI and I are trying to choose the readers for our wedding. We're going to have two of them. We each have several people we'd like to ask, so it's a difficult decision. Also, I think I may have heard before that it's traditional for the mothers to do the readings. I think my mom might be expecting to be asked. So, is it traditional? Did you have your mom or FI's mom do a reading?
