Has anyone walked down the aisle with their partner?

The ceremonies begin in various ways depending on the couple and the family situation. If your dad can't do it and you have no other special relative to go down the aisle, it works fine to do this with your partner. In this way you do not have to do it alone. You don't really need to explain why you are doing this in one fashion or another.

I’ve heard of some brides walking by themselves down the aisle, so that’s another idea.

My husband and I walked down the aisle together! Neither of us really like the tradition of having my dad walk me down the aisle, and I don't like being the center of attention, so the thought of walking down the aisle alone/without my husband next to me made me feel more anxious. Because of this, we both felt that walking each other down the aisle fit more of what we're looking for. We did a first look, which felt much more meaningful to us both. I did not care whether or not any of our guests found it weird or boring that we walked each other down the aisle, and we actually got feedback that our guests found it sweet!

My fiance and I will be walking down the aisle together. I like the symbolism of us coming in together and walking out together, plus I have issues with the symbolism of being "given away".

I will be walking myself half way and my fiancé will walk up and meet me and we will finish the walk together! Two lives coming together as one 🥰 I don’t want to be given away so I never planned to have anyone walk me

As a guest, I would actually find that really cute and sweet if y'all would walk in together!! Do what works best for y'all!!!

My dad couldn't/didn't walk me down the aisle so I walked by myself, but at my parent's wedding in the 80s, they walked down the aisle together! I think it'll be perfectly acceptable to walk with your partner, otherwise I really like the option above where you walk alone halfway and your partner comes up to meet you and then walk together

I’m walking myself down the aisle! I probably would have asked my mom at some point, but she’s not coming to my wedding either so there went that plan. I honestly don’t care what our guests think about this. We are putting so much money and effort into making sure they have a great time, so if all that gets overlooked because of our non-traditional ceremony, that says more about them than us. Do what works best/means the most for you and your FH!

OK so this is your big day, it isn't going to be weird at all if you decide to walk together with your fiance towards your future together as

Sorry I accidentally replied before finishing my comment. So I didn't have my dad walk me down the aisle either. You have a few options in this case, you can do a solo walk down. Which is always a strong option, you'll so get that first look when going down the aisle and you'll present yourself to your partner to start your future together. Second option have someone extremely close to you walk with you down the aisle, either family members or even parent of your fiance if you're super close. Third choice is the one you suggested, I actually love the idea of you walking with your fiance, it's like you are both waking toward your future together. I think it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about it. This is your day do what fits you and your comfort level best. If you want a special moment to see each other before, do that, then you'll still get that first look moment with each other. Good luck you've got this.

Any choice you make here (that feels right to you) is the correct one. As others have said, there are many options open to you and they are all valid. Please don't make any wedding decisions based on your worries about this: "the crowd will find it boring/weird."

Thank you all. Very helpfull. I am gonna walk with my fiance 🥰

We had a Catholic wedding and as a symbol of us coming into our marriage freely together we walked to the alter together after our bridal party procession but with a twist. Our isle was an L shape due to being outside in front of the church so after the bridal party my 9 year old daughter walked in with the groom (her now stepfather) and I processed in with my 13 year old son who walked me in to all meet up halfway. The kids then processed the rest of the way together followed by us to the alter. Here are some pictures.
