    My dad will be walking me. And the officiant will be asking who gives me away. I am all for the tradition

    I’m ditching this tradition. I’m not close to mine and I don’t like the thought of being “given away.”

    I love my dad dearly. He’s not the best dad but he makes an effort. And when I asked him to walk me he cried. I had never seen him cry before. 💕

    My 6 year old son is walking me down the aisle since my biological father passed when I was young.

    Nope, I'll be alone. I don't "have" a dad (never met him/he passed away years ago) and since we're having a destination wedding it will only be just us and his parents. (My mom isn't in best health so she'll be coming to the reception back home)

    Oh, don't be. I've never even met him and never knew him. My mom is great! It's just a shame she can't be at both the wedding and reception.

    It's going to be in Canada - Emerald Lake Smiley smile We are excited! Flying from Ohio

    Thanks! Oh, it was a long process. Basically I Googled scenic places with mountains/water (we wanted both). We thought about Shenandoah, Virginia, Georgia, Colorado, and then saw photos of this place and Moraine Lake (as seen below) and fell in love! We actually thought it was across the world! ;-) It won't cost much either. We'll be going here after our ceremony for photos. But basically we found Emerald Lake was nearby, and a great place for weddings that's a little more private (less touristy)
