Alternative to who gives this bride

Phoebe, on June 1, 2019 at 10:00 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 5
I plan on having my son walk me down the aisle. My parents will be present but being a single mom for 20 years my son has been the "man of the house" and is also opening his heart to my fiance. I don't want to do who giving this bride away but something that is inclusive of the three of us becoming a family. Ideas?

    We had a Catholic ceremony and the bride is not given away (one of the requirements is that we must both enter willingly and being given away goes against that). So even though my dad walked me down the isle and handed me off, there was nothing said. He just placed my hand in my husbands hand.
    Just an idea, maybe get some other ideas going.

    I think you can ask what you want to ask or say. I am walking myself and having the pastor skip the part of who is giving away the bride aha because... I GIVE MYSELF AWAY ahah. So think of what works best for you, it is your wedding so you can modify the script how you want

    Perhaps they could say "Who presents this bride..." or "Who accompanies this bride..." if you don't want to totally give up having them say something.

    Lol same here. No one is “giving me away”. I am allowing my parents to walk me half way down, then I will kiss them and bid them farewell and finish the walk alone. I give myself away too! Haha

    Hi Phoebe! Did you decide what you will do about your son walking you down the aisle?
