Who is walking you down the aisle? and why?

My dad is because well it's tradition lol. We get along well and it would be weird to me not to have him walk me down.

I will be walking down the isle with my mom. My father passed away in 2014 so I requested that she do it.

I am doing the first dance with a very close uncle though

I'm walking with my dad. I've been very lucky and have had a great relationship with him so, it was never even a question.

We're pretty excited about it. We've both been married before and he wanted to do a first look to help him with his nerves.

I’m walking with my kids (both young adults.). I chose them because I wanted them to feel included and a part of things. My ex, their dad, didn’t even invite them to his second wedding and I know it was hurtful to them. I’ve also told them from the beginning that their approval and acceptance of my relationship with FH is very important to me. They are always number one. I feel that having them walk me honors them and our relationship.

My father and I aren't particularly close, though our relationship is perfectly fine, so having him walk me down the aisle didn't feel quite right to me. In a way, I would have liked to walk alone because I am an independent person - especially at 40. At the same time, I knew his feelings would be hurt if I didn't. Plus, he's in his 90s and I am grateful to still have my parents there for our wedding. So I had both my parents walk with me and my husband had his mother (his only parent) walk with him. There was no actual "giving away" in any case and I think having our parents walk us helped represent what the wedding was really about - the bringing together of families.

View Quoted Comment That's brave of you! Will he stick to the script? My mom's walking me too. Dad is not invited because he'd make a scene and upset my sisters etc.

I hope so! If he doesn't, we have a back up officiant in the audience and my dad will just be a guest at that point. I would like to not invite him at all, but my mom wouldn't go at that point.

My brother is walking me. My dad passed away when I was 16. I love my brother and am so excited that he will be walking with me, but it hurts my heart that my dad isn’t here for this.

My brother will be walking me down the aisle because my father passed away 7 months ago. As the 'oldest' younger brother I have, he took on the responsibility with grace. I thought about having my FH's father, but unfortunately we aren't that close after some personal fallout this year.

My dad because he’s my absolute best friend.

I couldn’t even imagine anyone other than my dad walking be down the aisle on my big day.

I have no clue honestly. It makes me uncomfortable to think about my dad "giving me away" since he wasn't ever fully there for me my entire life, most of my life I've just had my sisters and THAT'S IT! So I feel like it's odd that all of a sudden he'd take on that "I've giving my daughter away" it's just weird because it doesn't fit who he is. I love my dad dearly but I don't know. I think I'd rather walk myself down the aisle.

My 2 daughters are walking me down the aisle. My dad and I arent close and i feel like even if we were it doesnt make sense for him to walk me down the aisle since he isnt giving me away, my daughters are.

My father has pretty advanced Parkinson's disease and I am hoping he will still be able to walk me down the aisle along with my 23 year old son. I want my 2 most important men there with me 😊

My dad for sure, but I am going to ask my mom. I don't like the idea of anyone giving me away (and neither do my parents--when FH asked for my dads blessing my dad said she is her own person, but you have my blessing... BOTH (FH and dad0 made it very clear it was a blessing, and not permission.) So we may not have them say anything, or we might have the officiant ask do you give your blessing to this union? Or something like that...

Our plan is to walk out separately from different doors and meet at the beginning of aisle walk down together!

I’m going to have my only brother walk me down the aisle. My dad and I don’t have the best relationship and my brother filled the roll of my dad a lot in my life so I feel it’s only right to have him give me away.

My parents have been married for 53 years. I can't think of a better way to start my own marriage than by my father walking me down the aisle. I asked my mom, too, but she wants to keep it traditional. Nothing very traditional about a 52 year old first-time bride, but I'll roll with it. LOL
