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 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 dad passed away when I was a teenager and my mum will be walking me down the aisle (as she did for both my sisters!) I have my dads wedding band tied into my bouquet.

    If you have a good relationship with your mum I think its really nice to have her walk you down the aisle. And I would suggest her BF is just seated beforehand!

    My father is deceased too. I choose to have my great grandfather and my dad's mom walk me down the aisle. It's caused a lot of tension in the family but I'm happy with my decision.

    I’m walking alone.

    My best friend died. He was supposed to do it. My father is nonexistent in my life.

    Also I’m not anyone’s to give away.

    I am walking by myself. You don't have to have someone if they don't fill that place in your heart/vision for your wedding. I hope you can find the perfect person (if any) to walk you.

    I am not close to my father so I asked my mother to give me away. She has been my rock through thick and thin so I felt that she should walk beside me to give me to my future husband. Traditionally, fathers give their daughters away, but you don't have to follow that tradition. Do whatever feels right to you!

    Firstly, my deepest condolences to you. Lots of hugs.

    My Daddy passed away in October of 2011. I was (and I think I'll always be) Daddy's little girl - we were super close, and I still miss him and wish he could be here. Losing him was one of the most difficult things I've experienced in life. I'm doing a couple things for him and for FH's grandmother (who passed away 4 years ago). I see my wedding as an opportunity to unite both families (even with walking down the aisle). My Godfather and my FFIL (who was majorly there for me during my first father's day without my Daddy, this was months is before FH and I started dating) are both walking me down the aisle. I will have pictures of my Daddy and I in my bouquet. My Mum and my FMIL are walking down the aisle with FH (again uniting of the families) and they are all okay with this.

    FH and I are considering doing a table for those we've lost. As for the Daddy/Daughter dance, I got inspired by a video I saw on YouTube of a bride who danced with all of her male family members to "Butterfly Kisses." I want to do something similar, but with a cute slideshow of my Daddy and I (there's a few pics of us dancing that I'd like to include) and I can dance with both close family male friends and my FH's family members that I'm close with. The song I'd be dancing to is Luther Vandross "Dance with my Father." He loved that song, and we got to dance to it together a few times before he died.

    I don't have a good relationship with my mom or my dad so I'm walking alone. To me, it symbolizes how I was alone in life until I met my FH and also strength. If you have a good close relationship with your mom, maybe have her do it. But definitely do what you makes you happy and comfortable as it's your day!

    There was a dispute if my real father or my step dad would walk me down the aisle. I'm not very comfortable with either. I've been thinking of the idea of my mother walking me down the aisle. You could also ask your FFIL? He or the person marrying you could say a little blurb about recognizing/remembering your father.

    I'm very sorry for your situation. What if you walk down with just your mother? She would probably be honored.
