Are you sticking with tradition and walking with your dad? Are you walking alone? Are you walking with mom? with siblings? with your children?

    My 2 sons will be walking me down the aisle! They are 9 and 1. I am not close with my dad so for me this means a lot more to have my boys walk me down.

    I would love to hear more about that! "A four day reunion-style" intrigues me, because i hate the idea of just one day to celebrate and to spend with all my family!

    I think that you nailed the hammer on the head of how i am feeling and what I've been thinking. I don't want to hurt my dad's feeling by not letting him walk his oldest daughter down the aisle, but we aren't close, and i haven't felt his excitement at all for my wedding. (he gave his blessing to FH so its not a resentment thing)

    I think that i am powerful and independent, but that my parents have not seen or acknowledged that my entire life, and i simply just want to walk alone. I want to make it about me and FH..

    Its great to hear everyone's stories and opinions to weigh in on this for me.

    It was the most cost-effective way to provide for the amount of guests not to mention the price you have to pay per person to feed them so what we thought about was leasing out some land and having a campout style until we found the cabins out in Bryson City once we found the cabins we reserve the entire property for that weekend and our guests are allowed to book their stay within the cabins and also there's hotels other cabins I put Airbnb on there as well. We just couldn't see paying 10 to $20,000 for venue that first of all I couldn't bring in my own food and my guests couldn't provide their own drinks. when are family and friends get together usually it's a 3-day weekend camp-out so I'm truly excited about this decision.

    My grandmother is walking me down the aisle! I haven't had a relationship with either of my parents ever, and my grandmother is the woman who raised me. She's the reason I am the person I am today, so to me it was fitting to have her walk me down the aisle!


    Im so excited i can't wait!

    We are going non traditional. I was originally going to walk alone. Because I honestly don't need someone to "give me away". But then a very old and dear friend asked me if he could do the honor. Just escort me down, not give me away. I love the idea because I've known him for 20 years. { also, my MOH I have know for 27 years}

    My mom is walking me down the isle. My father had no part in raising me or even having a relationship with me. My mom and I are very close though (#onlychild lol) so I'm happy to have her do it. I'd be too nervous with everyone staring at me to walk alone anyway. Lol

    I think I’m going to have my mom and stepdad both, one on each arm. My dad and I don’t have a relationship, but I felt uncomfortable leaving my stepdad out of this big day, so both together just made sense and is most comfortable

    My dad will walk me, regardless of the reason behind the tradition. My dad isn't giving me away, but he is the best man that was in my life before my husband, so I want him to be next to me as a thank you for showing me what to expect out of a husband and for being a great father. I've always been very close to my dad and love him very much. I may incorporate having my mom walk me as well, as I think the idea is very sweet. They are both together after 38 years, so I feel like it's a good omen too 😁

    I'm walking with my mom and dad. I think that it's important way to say thank you for your support and love and I want them both to give me away.

    Because my grandfather pretty much raised me he will start out walking me halfway down the aisle. He will hand me over to my dad who will be “giving me away”

    I am walking with my stepfather. My dad passed away 20 years ago and my mom is my matron of honor and my stepfather has been a big part of my life. He was super excited when i asked him.

    My dad and Mom (if she wants, I don't wanna push her to walk me down)


    My parents mean a lot. I was gonna have my dad and Grandpa do it but when my Grandpa passed in 2005 when I was 14, I changed my mind and opted to have my momma come with me. 13 years later I still want her to do it Smiley smile

    My husband and I walked together, as did our bridal party pairings. It was important for us to start as a united front.
