Walking down the aisle with my fiance

That's both a German and persian tradition, and I personally love it! It's beautiful

I've attended the wedding where the bride walked halfway by herself, met the groom where the chairs began, and they walked the rest of the way together. That way, she got the whole walking toward him experience that you're looking for as well.

I think meeting each other from different entrances would be great. You also could have him meet you half way up the aisle. I totally think it's fine that you walk together, especially since you've both experienced so much heartache regarding your respective parents.

My parents walked down the aisle together! The pictures are really sweet.

I love the idea of still getting that "first look" by walking out at different entrances and meeting at the beginning of the aisle to walk down together. That sounds beautiful and I think would work perfectly for the both of you

ETA: Because I can't spell today.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your parents.

That being said, just reading your plans of walking down the aisle with FH brought tears to my eyes. I think that would be beautiful! And I love the idea of coming in through separate entrances so you still get that wow factor.

I haven't seen this before but my SIL chose to walk down the aisle (and have that special dance) with her brother, as her father chose not to come to her wedding. That was also beautiful to see and there wasn't a dry eye in the room!

I've never seen this before, but I think its a really beautiful and special way to do it and it still kind of honors the memory of your parents at the same time. I'm getting chills just thinking about it!

The cool thing about getting married now is that un-traditional things are kind of the new "in", know what I mean? There's really nothing that we can't do!

I like that idea. I am sorry for the loss of your parents. Weddings can be bitter sweet when you have lost family members.

I think walking in together is a great idea or I also like what Reese mentioned. Walking half way and having your FH meet you and walk together will give you that moment of walking down the aisle to meet him, yet you still have a loved one to walk down the aisle with.

Ladies thank you and thanks for the condolences. it has been hard to plan without my mom. I am an only child and she and I did everything together. so it is hard to have someone to step in her place because she is irreplaceable. My FH and I have been each other partners thru this journey. both our moms passed to cancer. so this is really important to me.

thank you. I am tearing as i type. THANKS ALL.

I haven't been to a wedding like that, but wow! Tears in my eyes reading your idea! This sounds perfect for the two of you!

I love that idea!!

So sorry about your losses.....I love the idea, its really sweet.

I love this idea!

We walked together and loved it

I love it. And yes, I've had several couples do this.

I love this! I love the idea. You'll just have to decide to meet him halfway or through the double doors. As PPs have said: an advantage of walking through different doors is you get a private first look moment but an advantage of meeting him halfway is that you get to still walk toward him, which was a really big thing for me (I practically ran down the aisle).

I love the idea and the symbolism! FWIW, at my baby brother's wedding last month, he and his fiancé strolled in from the woods-- I think to symbolize more that they were off doin' the nasty while we were all waiting, but it's *almost* the same idea.

I love it! It's actually how it's done in Sweden, brides are no longer allowed to be given away, because Sweden is super into equality. I think it says "hello, we are a couple and we are here to get married, together, as equals"

Sorry about your parents though. I would think wedding planning makes it even harder...

My wife and I walked down the aisle together, holding hands. We actually had arm bouquets, which she carried on her left arm and I carried on my right, so we could hold hands in the middle.

This sounds so sweet!! It gave me chills :-). I think it's an awesome idea
