Who do you Choose who walks you down the aisle?

Noelia, on March 27, 2018 at 7:06 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 29

I been long overthinking my situation and I still haven't choose who is going to walk me down the aisle since my father is deceased. I don't have any close uncles or grandfathers. I really wanted my brother to walk me down the Aisle yet he refuses to walk me down because he is shy and I even asked him to be one of my groomsmen and he said no. I am at lost! Smiley cry Smiley sad It's very important to me however how do I just walk down the Aisle with my mother and her boyfriend? Help please open to suggestions.

    My father has also passed. I can't imagine being escorted by anyone but him. So I am walking alone.

    You can always walk with your mother, even have your FI meet you halfway and escort you down the rest of the aisle.

    My father passed away and i am fortunate enough to have my uncle (dad's brother) to walk me down, esp since he took the place of my dad. If i didnt have him i would choose someone who has looked after you since you dad passed. A close family friend or even your mom could do it. I hope you find someone to walk you down.

    I'm sorry for your loss. You don't have to have anyone walk you down, it's perfectly okay to walk down yourself. You could also walk down together with your future spouse. It actually used to be done this way in the Catholic Church before the modern tradition of the father escorting the bride started.

    That's what I was thinking and maybe putting a pendant hanging from my bouquet in honor of him and also so I can feel him close to me. Thank you! Smiley heart

    I agree walk by yourself or with your mother, I do like the idea also of having your FH walk meeting you and walking you the rest of the way or your ffil. Don’t over think it or force it- what makes you smile the most thinking about it.

    I don't have a good relationship with my dad and I'm not even sure he'll be at our wedding. My nephew, who is 20, will be walking me down the aisle.

    I would have the boyfriend be seated prior to the ceremony and then have mom walk you and then she can join him.

    In my family we always have my mom walk us down the aisle. She loves it and has always looked forward to doing it for all 3 girls.

    My H and I walked down the aisle together to the altar because he didn't want to wait for me at the altar alone, and I didn't want to walk by myself. Our first plan was for me to walk down the aisle halfway, where my H would wait for me, and we would walk the rest of the way, but the ceremony rooms changed so we walked the whole way together.

    I ThInk it’s up to the bride, I’ve seen so many traditional and non traditional entrances. Everyone’s different in that way in who they select, my father is in my life so I selected him

    I'm going to have my mom walk me but part of me wants to walk alone. I'm not sure why, I told my sister it's because my mom is always crying, I'm talking ugly cry, and joked she's going to ruin my pictures, and probably make me cry but I can't really put my finger on why I'd rather walk alone.

    I really don’t have a relationship with my father so my mother is walking me down. Couldn’t imagine anyone else walking me down plus I would be too nervous to walk by myself.

    My first marriage I had my mother and grandmother walk me down the aisle (my father is also deceased). This time, I am having a close family friend walk me, but if he weren't doing it I would walk alone. Do whatever is comfortable for you, whether that be walking with your mom or walking alone.
