Who else is having both parents walk them down the aisle?

I am with you I have decided to have both my dad and my mom walk me down. My mom has raised me from day 1 and I wouldnt have it any other way. I think they both will give you away not sure.

I love it when both parents escort their kids down the aisle! I see it all the time.

Another idea, which I incorporate all the time, is a flower ceremony for your moms. I also think that they don't have enough of a part and it is a huge, huge day for both of your mothers. In this ceremony, (which I always keep as a surprise to them) I call the moms up to join the couple, the bride and groom then present them with a single rose (pink, ideally, since that is the color of gratitude) and I talk very briefly about how the couple became the wonderful adults they are because of the mothers' lifetime gifts to them. (If you'd like the specific script for this, I'll be happy to send it to you if you contact me off the board.) It is a sweet way to incorporate the moms (or aunts or grandmas if they were primary in your life) and still let your dad have that 'moment'.

I'm an only child and I was thinking about having both parents walk me down the aisle. =) I can't wait to marry my man... 361 days away!

I had both of my parents walk me down the aisle, however, we had a jewish wedding so they both remained standing at the altar with us for the ceremony.

Celia, I like that much better! Thank you! I will PM you, or email you!

My mom will escort me halfway down the aisle, since she raised me as a single parent. At about the half way mark my father will join us and they both will walk me down the remaining aisle. When asked they will say "we do".

I am having my sons walk me down the aisle. I never knew my father and he has passed away. I love the idea of doing something for the mothers!

Im having both my parents walk me. It was a really tough decision because my dad really wanted to do it alone, but my parents are divorced and they both still raised me equally and it just did not feel right not honoring both of them in that way. Im not sure if i am going to be "given away" but if so i think i will let my dad do it so he can feel special.

I'm not having both my Mom and Dad walk me down the aisle. But I am having my Dad and Step-dad walk me down the aisle. I wouldn't feel right just having my Dad do it seeing as my Step-dad has been a big part of my life since I was 10.

We're going to make sure the guys set the aisle up large enough for the 3 of us and my dress to fit! Other than that we're just doing it the same as just my Dad walking me down, I'm just going to have one on both side.

I am actually a little concerned with this particular subject.

The thing is, I have probably been plannin my wedding say since..forever. & I always pictured my dad walking me down& giving me away. Nothing against my mom, of course, just how I always pictured it. I have a wonderful relationship w/ both of them. I am definitely what you'd call a daddy's girl, but I still have a good relationship w/ my mom. She's my best friend, & she's the best mom in the whole world.

I don't know. I just had this picture,& never thought it would go any other way. Never thought I even had 'say' anything, just thought it was, 'understood'. but mom made a comment about how'd she'd like to walk me down with my dad. She even showed me her wedding album,& both sets of parents walked down, my dad's & her's. I didn't say anything but it left me a little.....uncertain of what to do. I've spent the past 23 years thinking it would just be my dad, & she goes and throws me this curve ball. I got alot to consider

In Jewish weddings, it is actually traditional for both of the groom's parents to escort him down the aisle, and both of the bride's parents to escort her. I love the tradition, and followed it as the bride in my own first wedding, and as the mother of the groom in my son's wedding. It avoids treating the bride as a piece of property, but acknowledges the contributions of both sets of parents.

I am having both my parents

It's a miracle my parents will be in the same room together.. I don't think they could stand walking so close to one another. :/ needless to say, it will just be my dad. But he'll probably speak for my mother when it is asked who is giving me away..

I really don't understand parents who can't suck it up and be civil for one day. My son's father and I walked my son down the aisle even though we are divorced. And in spite of the fact that I cut off contact with my mother back in 1994, I was civil to her during my son's wedding.
