Long, very sad story short, my mom passed very suddenly from cancer in 2016. My dad is not a good person and won't be at the wedding. The ceremony gives me some anxiety because I go back and forth between wanting to honor my mom and wanting to not be so sad that I sob the whole time.
I'm debating between these options and I honestly could make solid arguments for any of them. I'm not very traditional as you'll see. I would love your thoughts:
1. I walk myself. I'm an independent person in general so I like the idea that I don't need a man to give me away.
2. My mom's twin brother and my big brother walk me down the aisle together. My Uncle doesn't have daughters and I'm sure he would love it. My brother also already offered to take my father's place.
3. My bridesmaids are like family to me. We've all been friends since we were between 2 and 6 years old. We're extremely close and someone threw out the idea of us walking down the aisle at the same time (maybe it's me at the tail end unless we have a super wide aisle) and I actually really loved it. They were all close to my mom (so close they were there for her final hours) and a couple of them have already asked I wanted them to carry a flower for her on my behalf. Of everyone at the wedding, I'm closest to them.
