Second time bride ~ who "gives me away"

Sept2017AKBride, on March 19, 2016 at 8:13 PM Posted in Planning 0 16

I am a second time bride. I have two children. I originally thought that I would have my son walk me down the aisle, and then he will stand with the other groomsmen. Do you think that my son should walk in with the other guys?

I don't have a dad and my brother will be our officiant. So I don't have any other important men in my life. Will it look strange to walk down the aisle myself?

    I'm also a second time bride. I am walking down myself, but I think it would be a great way of including your son by having him walk you down. Congrats!

    It won't be weird if you walk down the aisle yourself. I also love the idea of your son walking you down the aisle though. I see no reason why he can't walk you down the aisle and then go stand with the groomsmen.

    Thanks ladies for the reassurance. I think I will have my son walk with me and then join the groomsmen,

    We brides need to stop worrying about appearances. Who cares what it looks like to others if you walk solo? Or with your son? Do whatever you want. It is your and your FH's wedding.

    I am a first time bride and my mother will walk me. I also considered walking solo but decided holding my mother's hand would help calm my nerves.

    Between my FH and I we have 6 kids...2 of mine married one engaged so that technically makes 9....I don't have a father to walk me down the aisle so FH decided we would walk out together....this saves me from picking one of my step sons or one of my son in laws and hurting any feelings....I thought it was a fantastic idea!

    I was going to say EXACTLY what elphaba said. Why wouldn't you also include your daughter to walk you down the aisle?

    You can walk by yourself. You can walk with your FI. Or if you prefer to have it a child, why not both of them? It could easily cause jealousy if your son has a special role and your daughter has none.

    Whatever makes you happy, that is all that matters. I am having my sons walk me down since my dad passed way. My daughters are part of my bridal party. I wanted my children to feel apart of this special day because it is a change in their lives also. Good luck in your decision and congratulations.

    Both of my children will have special roles in the wedding. My daughter who will be 9 has already expressed that she wants to walk with the other girls in the bridal party, she will be a Jr. Bridesmaid.

    Second time bride here too. I think having your son walk you down then join the men would be fine. My mom walked me down the first time. She mentioned as we were planning this wedding that my uncle (her brother) was hurt he didn't get to walk me down the aisle last time). Since she mentioned it I have asked him to do it this time. If he ends up not being able to, then I will either go alone or have my daughter walk me, and then she will join FH (she's Best Woman).

    I'm a second time bride at a young age (29). I do have a dad so he is walking me (he didn't walk me when I was 18) but my bridal party is my 2 sons. They are my boys of honor! My fiances wedding party is his son. So I personally think it is super sweet. If I didn't have my dad my two kids would Def walk me down the aisle!

    I also just got married for the second time and my son walked me down the aisle and my daughter was my MOH. It was important for my kids to be involved but there are no rules so do whatever makes you happy.
