Walking down the aisle alone

Paola, on October 16, 2020 at 7:47 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 16
My wedding is TODAY! I am still trying to figure out if I should walk alone or have one of my friends walk me. Long story short. None of our family members are able to be here because of Covid. We couldn’t continue to postpone the wedding so we had to make it happen. He’s walking alone. My friends and even my fiancé think it’s better if I walk alone. They think it’s more intimate, special, and romantic than asking a random friend to do it. But I’m terrified! I feel like I need someone to hold on to. I thought about asking my maid of honor because she’s the closest thing to my family. We’ve been friends since middle school. She knows me and my family very well. But then I think it’s weird to have two girls walk down the isle? Then I thought about asking one of my guy friends. But I’ve only lived here 4 years. I love my guy friends, but I think this is such an emotional and important day of my life and I shouldn’t ask a random friend to do it. What are your thoughts?

    I think that you should walk down alone as well. I agree with your fiancé that it will be intimate, special and romantic, especially since he's walking alone also.

    Is walking down the aisle with your fiance an option?

    I like the idea of walking by yourself! Once you see him standing at the alter, your jitters will melt away. Walking yourself is just so romantic and personal! Happy wedding day!!! Smiley heart

    I personally like the idea of walking down by yourself, but if you think you need/want someone with you, your maid of honor sounds like a perfect choice. It isn't weird for two women to walk down together.

    Congratulations! I echo the thoughts of walking alone. Once you see your FH, I think that will make you feel so much better. Have a fun day!

    Congratulations! In my opinion, I would walk alone rather than with some random friend of yours.

    I love the idea of walking solo down the aisle, but if you need some support or someone's arm to squeeze then definitely ask your MOH!! Smiley heart

    It's not weird at all to be escorted by another woman, and I'd personally prefer that over asking someone I'm not very close to!

    I like this idea, although its not traditional, you can always walk part of the way and have him meet you there and walknthe rest together


    Good luck today! Whatever you do will be just fine and may you both have a blessed day!

    Could your FH meet you halfway? Not traditional but super sweet if you need some support.

    Thank you ladies! So I had my maid of honor walk with me down the hall and stopped and I kept going by myself. It was comforting and romantic that it was mostly the two of us. Everyone said it was perfect!

    There's nothing wromg with two WOMEN walking down the aisle together. Walk with someone bc you genuinely want to, not bc you're nervous/scared.
