Divorced parents - who is walking you down the aisle?

My parents are divorced and I'm having my dad and my mom walk me down. Their spouses won't be part of the processional, but already seated.

My mom is walking me! Dad has never really had a strong presence in my life, so she was the obvious answer.

Other options I considered were my brothers or just walking myself

Both my parents walked me down the aisle. They're happily married, though.

If I were you I'd just ask my mother, since you are super close.

The tradition of being "given away," by a male relative has sexist/archaic origins.

My parents are divorced too. My dad will walk me down the aisle. I will have a dance with my dad and step dad.

My dad and step dad are walking me down the aisle.

Try to see if they both walk you down the aisle but you could walk alone if they can't agree upon it. It's really up to you. Just ask then worst they could say is no!

My parents are divorced and neither of them have remarried. My mom was always the primary parent but the last couple of years I have reconnected with my dad. I will have both of them walk me down the aisle. They do not get along, at all, but I have decided if they cannot put aside their differences I will walk down with whomever can be a grown up or walk myself down. Again I want both to walk me down but I don't know if that is a reality. I will have dances with both at the reception regardless.

My parents are divorced as well, but my mother is the only one who re-married.

i'm having my dad walk me down the aisle forsure!!!!

we're as thick as thieve so for me, that part was never a question...

i'm including my step-dad by dancing with him as well for the father-daughter dance.

him and i will dance together after my dad and i have our dance.

i'm also considering having my step-dad read a poem at our ceremony, but not 100% yet.

i don't think you HAVE to do anything with your step-dad if you don't feel strongly about it.

i wouldn't do anything just to please someone, but if you truly feel a close bond with him then i think there are lots of ways to include him, other than having him walk you down the aisle.

unless of course your dad and step-dad are friends and they would appreciate sharing that experiecne with you...... if you are tight with your dad, i'd ask him his feelings on the subject.

again though, you don't have to do anything to please anyone else... do what YOU want!!!!

i don't view my step-dad as another dad, but i do view him as another parent who loves and cares about me... if that makes any sense at all??? hahaha

hope this helped!!

I am in a similar situation as you. I am walking alone or my FH is walking with me because I do not want to be a part of the worlds most awkward sandwich.

I have not figured out the processional situation yet. I am thinking each parent on both sides will walk solo down the aisle (FH parents are divorced as well). Step parents will already be seated.

I would say your mom and dad but give your stepdad a special gift for being apart of your life

Are either of them helping to pay for the wedding? If so I would ask whoever is paying what they think. I wanted a cousin to walk me down the aisle but recently learned that when my dad paid for my sister's wedding, one of the stipulations was that her stepdad was there as nothing more than a guest and my dad got to walk with her. Even though my mom never remarried, I have to let my dad walk me down the aisle if he pays for the wedding.

Both mine and FH parents are divorced. My step Dad passed away but had he been alive he would have walked down with my Mom and my Dad would walk me. FH is having both of his parents walk him even though they are divorced. His step Dad will just be seated.

I'm walking myself down the isle. My father was an absent father and my step father was more present but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings so I'm walking solo! I think it will be very powerful and show my independence!!

My younger brother is walking me.

My stepdad was supposed to, but he's decided not to come to the wedding at all now.

My parents are remarried and have children with their new(er) spouses.

My mom is walking with her husband and their son (my half brother)

And my other half brother and sister are escorting my stepmom.

My parents are divorced and im just having my dad walk me down the aisle. But i havent really ever been close to my mom though.

I'm doing both parents. I didn't want to be escorted at all but I think it was hurting my dad's feelings so I caved- But my mom did all the work so she will walk with me too

I have something crazy going on. My stepmom is escorting my widower grandfather. It kills me that my grandma won't be there and I think she's the best person to walk with him.

Dad is escorting mom down the aisle. (They divorced 26 yrs ago and get along great)

Stepdad is walking me down the aisle. Well stop to hug mom. Dad will flip my veil and walk me up to the altar.

ETA: I spent nearly a year thinking about this. Agonizing really, because the first thing people who know my family situation ask me is who's walking me down the aisle. My sister (MOH) and FH were wonderful in helping me figure out what I wanted to do. And my parents graciously agreed to my wishes. Best of luck. That's a tough situation, but do what's right for you.

My dad is. My mom has been with her new partner since I was in college, but I don't think he is going to be bothered by this.

My Heavenly Father will be leading me to my King!
