Walking Down the Aisle Alone

I am a bride in her forties and this is my second marriage. When discussing if my father would walk me down the aisle for a second time, I said I assumed that he would but that it felt a little strange since it was a second marriage My Officiant suggested that a might want to walk down the aisle...

I am a bride in her forties and this is my second marriage. When discussing if my father would walk me down the aisle for a second time, I said I assumed that he would but that it felt a little strange since it was a second marriage My Officiant suggested that a might want to walk down the aisle alone. He added that as a mature independent woman I don't need anyone to give me away. that I am just presenting myself to my FH.

Part of me really likes that idea. There is another part of me that feels strange about walking down the aisle alone. I don't think my father would mine but I haven't discussed it with him yet.

Anyone in a similar situation who has thoughts or advice?

    That's so exciting! I'm getting a little teary-eyed about your children walking you down the aisle. I would totally do that for my mom if she wanted. Smiley heart

    I was also too nervous to walk the aisle myself. Loved having my DH's hand to hold.

    My grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be in the wedding. It means so much to me to make this a beautiful memory for all of us!
    They, my family, are my past, present, and future! I love them dearly! I'm so happy and proud they are a part of this day!
    It will be the most beautiful sight seeing my granddaughters standing there along with my guy! I hope and pray my mascara holds up! ❤️ ❤️

    My fiance and I are walking down the aisle together because I am not being presented to him, instead we are coming together to bind our lives.

    I'm debating this as well. I don't have a relationship with my father and while I do have a younger brother (who's 34) and it makes sense to ask him, I feel like I would like him to escort my mom down the aisle therefore leaving me to walk alone which I'm kind of ok with the more I think about it.
    I feel like you have to do what feels right and what you're most comfortable with
