    My brother is riding me on his motorcycle for 2 reasons my dad isn't in my life and my other brothers are not riders. My wedding is not traditional because I'm not traditional. Its a 4 day reunion style wedding at a cabin resort. The whole wedding party is on motorcycles. Do what makes you happy. Bring your vision to life.

    No one is walking me down. We are going in together.
    I was married before and had a very traditional wedding. My dad walked me then. He asked about doing it again. I said it wouldn't be necessary. He said good, cause the last time, he gave you back.

    I am walking down the aisle with my son. I haven't seen my father since I was two. I really wanted my grandfather to walk down the aisle with me but he passed away 8 years ago. I was married to my son's father but we did a courthouse ceremony and it ended badly. After my divorce, it was always just me and my son. Everyone called him my shadow. Everywhere I went, my son went. I wouldn't let him out of my sight. So, it was a no brainer!

    My mother will be walking me down the isle. My dad and I were never close. My step dad and I are extremely close and I love him like no other. But my mom is my rock. I don't know what I would do without her. I am her youngest. My sister is 12 years older than and we have 2older brothers. I am her baby and the closest to her. I have always dreamed since I was little that my mom would give me away and I'm so blessed that she will be able too. I know it will mean the world to her.

    I'm walking alone. My Dad is too ill and my Mom passed away two years ago. Hope I don't slip, or trip. 😂

    My dad passed away recently 😢 so my brother in love will be walking me down. I’m the baby of the family and my brother has literally seen me grow up. When my dad passed he was the rock of my family and stepped in and took care of most things. He has now kind of stepped in and has taken on the patriarch role in my family. He’s always been like a second father to me so it would mean the world to me to have him be there. I’m sure I’ll be super emotional because I’m devastated my dad is no longer here and I won’t get that moment with him. My brother would be there to support me and put my mind at ease with a funny joke or something.

    My friend, Hank. He’s a really good friend of mine and my dad passed when I was really young.

    I’m struggling to make that decision. My dad and I are on speaking terms but we aren’t close and he isn’t helping with the wedding. Not that it’s a money thing but I grew up with my mom always being there to support me and planning a wedding was only possible because of her. I’m afraid if I walk with my mom instead of my dad it’ll cause family drama.
    Walking solo sounds like a powerful statement that I would fully support but I may need help walking down the stair aisle so it’s a tricky option.

    My father passed 7 years ago and my mother wanted to give me away so she will be the one doing it!

    I finally got the tattoo on my back that I was dedicating to him and am making sure to keep it visible as a my way of incorporating him into the ceremony. (I've planned on it for 6 years but getting married was the final push I needed)

    My dad walked me down the aisle. We have a great relationship and I couldn’t imagine having someone else do it.

    My mom. She was a single mom for a good chunk of my life. She’s not perfect and we’ve definitely had huge struggles in the past. But our relationship ship is better today than it’s ever been. My dad on the other hand was in and out of my life as he pleased. He expected to walk me down still (I know, stupid right). He got so upset that I told him my mom was walking me down that he started bashing her and arguing with me trying to convince me to change my mind. That sealed the deal for me. Because of the things he said, and because our relationship ship has been pretty fake for the last decade anyways, and I rarely speak to him, it was easy to cut him off after he said those horrible things. He is no longer invited to my wedding. My mom deserves to give me away. That’s why I chose her.

    My dad! He’s honestly always has my back even when he disagrees with my choices he never forces his opinion onto me. He always explains and leaves it at that. He and I have the best relationship

    I’ll be walking down the aisle with my father and stepfather. I have great relationships with both of them and I want to acknowledge both of them!
