Walking down the aisle alone

Holy Run On Sentence, Batman!!

I have no parents left to walk me down the aisle, so I walked by myself for the majority of the beach, then right before where the chairs started, my husband walked up the aisle, took my hand, and we walked back down the aisle together.

I thought it was perfect, even though it wasn't talked about ahead of time and the officiant told him to do it, but it sort of signified our relationship perfectly.

I am walking alone or having my son give me away, depending on how shy he is and where his vocabulary is at come time for the wedding. I don't have much of a relationship with either one of my parents so I don't feel like that's something they deserve. I don't think it's bad to walk alone at all!

I think you should do what makes you comfortable.

I am a little taken aback by you saying that your mom doesn't want to come to your wedding because she feels fat . . . seriously?! She would miss your wedding *in EIGHT MONTHS* because she's not happy with how she looks?

My dad hasn't been apart of my life for over ten years now. He walked out when I was 9 and has been on and off. I haven't seen in him in about ten years (I'm 23 now, 24 for wedding). Long story short, I always thought I'd walk alone. I have no qualms about it. No matter what I do I'm going to feel awkward or self conscious. However, my mom has made it very clear (in a funny way!!) that she must walk me down the aisle. And that's what she's doing.

But no, there's nothing wrong with walking yourself either. I just so happen to have an amazing relationship with my mom.

I'm not walking alone. But there is nothing wrong or weird about you walking alone. The real issue here is the fact that your mom isn't coming to your wedding because she thinks that she's fat.....

I'm probably walking alone because I don't even know if my dad will show up. He works overseas and the last time I saw him was my high school graduation.

My friend had her best guy friend(who wouldn't have been in the wedding otherwise) walk her down because they were such good friends and he was like a brother to her! Otherwise I say walk by yourself! I think you should have the talk with your mom if you really want her to walk you down and tell her that it's your day!

I might walk with both parents. They both made me, seems right. Or by myself but then dad might feel left out. I think it would be lovely either way

I think it's fine to walk alone. But it's also important to figure out what you want, no matter what people will think. My mother will be walking me down the aisle (my father has been out of my life for the last 10 years no contact nothing) . I would hope that if you want your mom to walk you down the aisle she respects your wish, no matter how she feels because everyone will be looking at you anyway.

I asked one of my best friends to walk me down the aisle. Not to give me away- just because he is important to me.

I struggled with this myself. Ultimately i would have wanted my brother to have walked me down but he was killed in 06.. I have no real relationship with my dad if he needs something he calls if not then nothing. I have no other family but my mom and she has issues walking.. So instead of walking alone i asked my future brother in-law to do so. Kind of a way to honor fh family as both his parents passed away 3 yrs ago

I walked alone - it was fine. I wanted either my father or no one and my dad did not feel comfortable enough to attend the wedding (he has social anxiety and it would have been too much). It made me a little more nervous walking alone, but it was fine.

I plan on walking alone because I don't have the best relationship with my parents. I think it's becoming more normal to do.

I can understand where your mom is coming from with no wanting to be in the spotlight. Perhaps she can be at the end of the aisle to give you a hug and a kiss before you walk up to your groom.

I totally agree with 'JustKidding', "I feel that I am entering this marriage under my own free will and of my own choice. Why should someone walk me?"

I am all about taking this walk on my own or meeting my fiance down the aisle. I won't go into my feminist manifesto here lol, but I think it is awesome to take that stand for yourself!

Walking alone.

My 10 year old son will be walking me down the aisle. It means so much to me and he's super excited about it. We are bff's

I'm walking alone. Everyone's family is structured so differently and everyone's relationships with different members is so different that it no longer makes sense to call that the father's role. You can have anyone you want walk with you or walk by yourself

My father passed away 8 years ago. I will be walking alone, but would have walked alone even if he was still alive. It's the feminist in me.

I'm walking in with my groom. We're doing a first look and all the photos beforehand, so it makes sense walking in together. My dad also passed when I was 8.

My mother passed when i was 8 also. We both lost our parents when we were young with that being said we didnt have a ceremony it was very personnal and in our pastors office. We are now renewing our vows and decided on having a wedding we will have pictures of our parents and grandparents. We together overcame what we struggled with the first time around. Long story short out of my 5 sons my baby gentlman is walking me down on our special day. I hope this helped.
