Both parents walking you down the aisle?

My first wedding my mom and step father walked me down the aisle. I've been to a lot of weddings where it was done as well. I think it's a great thing to acknowledge both in that way and it really depends on how you want to do it.

It’s 2018 and traditions are changing. My stepdad and my mom willl be walking me down the aisle and neither is “giving me away” as I’m 30+ and take care of myself. My mom and I are also having a mother daughter dance lol. Have them both walk you down if that’s what you want.

If it's what you want, do it. It's common in Jewish weddings for both parents to walk the bride down the aisle, so it's not uncommon.

Doing the same! I think it is becoming more of the norm in this day in age. The dad "giving the bride away" is a bit of an antiquated idea in my opinion.

My parents will walk me down the aisle together. My dad is my step dad but the only one I've ever known and I love him dearly. But my mom made some very tough decisions to keep me and be a single mom. And her and I are much much closer and I am with my dad. I jusy want them both.

I agree with pp’s about doing what you feel is best. My mom and stepdad both walked me down the aisle. It was the best feeling in the world to have both of my parents beside me.

I'm having both parents walk me down the aisle. My dad and I don't have the best relationship, but I want to include him because I am his only daughter; my mom is my best friend and my rock in life, so she definitely gets a spot.

In Jewish weddings it is custom for both parents to walk the bride and groom down the aisle. We are having an interfaith wedding and not sure what we are doing but I think that is totally fine.

I'm doing this as well. I'm incredibly close to both my parents and they've both supported me so much that I think it's only fair that both of them are walking me down the aisle. Like everyone said, it's your wedding..do what you like!

I'm doing this! We couldn't really think of another guy to "escort" her down the aisle (her dad won't be there, no living brothers, and no sons for her), so it makes sense for her to walk up with my dad and I. I think it's becoming more common for both parents to walk the bride up the aisle.

I'm having both my mom and dad walk me down the aisle. They are both extremely important to me and I want them both there.

I want to do this as well! I’m close to both my parents and I needed to incorporate my mom in some way. She won’t want to do a reading and I don’t want to bore my guests with even more dances.

I’m doing both parents. Dad is an alcoholic/drug addict and I’ve had to help my mom a lot financially since I was 17, but they were both involved in my life and I don’t want my dad to get that experience but not my mom, but I also don’t want to take his experience away from him either. As long as he keeps his act together in the next 9 months lol

I had both my parents walk me! I highly HIGHLY recommend widenening the aisle a bit even if your DOC says it's enough.

My dad was scooting behind a bit because his side of the aisle was a bit narrower lol!

You can have them both if you want. I will have my dad walk me, but my mom will be with me pretty much all day, so we'll have time together when we are getting ready and stuff. Since I'm not having a BP, I plan to ask her to be my witness for signing the marriage certificate. There's lots of ways for her to be involved, you just have to pick what's best for you.

Both my parents walked me down the aisle, as is tradition in Jewish weddings.

I haven't talked to my parents about it but I want both of them to walk me down the aisle. I think it's becoming more and more common

@Kelly are you Jewish? I am, but my H is Catholic, and we decided we both wanted to be escorted by both our parents! So my mom and dad walked me, his mom and dad walked him. We had a rabbi and reverend co-officiate, so we incorporated traditions from both faiths, that being one from my side.

Its what you want, but its also what makes sense for your parents/dynamic. Both my parents have been equally supportive, so I was going to have both walk me down. But I was thinking about how my dad is really traditional, and I think he has been looking to have that moment for just the two of us. Plus, I know my mom would appreciate the gesture, but she certainly doesn't need it to feel special on that day. She will be spending the day with me as well, so I am not going to have her join in walking down the aisle.

It's not my parents seeing as I'm not close to my mother and my biological father passed away. But I will be having my great grandfather and my biological grandma on my dad's side walk me down the aisle.
