    My Dad (I call him papa) Papa and I haven’t always had the best relationship in past years but we’ve grown so close in the last few years and I literally cannot wait to see his face that day

    At this point, it is looking like my dad. if he ends up a no show (seriously, you never know with him), my mom or my cousin (only male on my mom's side) will walk me.

    I would LOVE to have my mom & dad walk me down the aisle as I'm really close to both (and want to find a way to honor my mom since she's my bff). Our venue has two columns in the aisle, though, that only has enough room for two people to go down; not three so it'll likely just be my dad. I may give my mom and FMIL a flower before we meet FH at the front of the room to honor them!

    My dad is walking with me down the aisle. We arent super traditional so he isnt giving me away. He is "supporting me in my decision to give myself."

    My Father recently passed away so I will walk alone and my FH will meet me half way.

    Both of my parents. They're divorced, but they're cordial, (almost friendly?) and my mom is my best friend so, they both share this role.

    My Dad. We had a loooong rough patch, basically from the time I hit puberty until I was about 22. He took a lot of time since then to demonstrate how much he really does pay attention and become more agreeable and less dictator-ish.

    This was hard for me since my dad passed. I have a step dad, but he came into the picture when i was already out of the house so while we have a relationship it didn't seem right. My dad has a twin, but I am not that close to him and people expected him to walk me as FH asked his permission before proposing. My mom really wants to, but her and I have a complicated relationship and I feel like she wanted it for the attention.

    In the end our daughter expressed interest in doing this instead of being a flower girl so now she will be which I am actually very excited for

    I'll be walking with my dad. If the aisle was bigger I would have both my parents walk me down.

    I had a traditional Jewish wedding and the custom is for both the bride and groom to walk with their parents. Both of mine have been ill for a while and by the time I printed the programs with the processional order, I knew they weren't going to be able to attend. So I printed my name alone but then people said it would be kinda sad if I walked alone in contrast to the groom and that my brother should walk with me. He did and I actually really liked it that way.
