2 people walking you down the aisle

FutureMrsMcCall, on September 20, 2016 at 12:49 PM Posted in Planning 0 42

I was just wondering if any of you are or have had more than one person walk you down the aisle? And if you did, how did it work out?

My dad has only been in my life consistently the last 2 years.

I am still doing a father daughter dance with him, but I've always pictured my grandpa walking me down the aisle because he's been my father figure my whole life, so that's who is walking me down.

I also feel like my mom needs to be honored in some way though because the last 22 years it's been her supporting me.

I was thinking about surprising her and asking her to walk me down the aisle, as well as my grandpa.

    Jewish brides almost always have both parents walk them down the aisle. It works fine!

    My mom and dad are both walking me down the aisle! My sister did it (she had a wedding that mixed in elements of the groom's Jewish heritage, and that was a custom she was excited to embrace!). I was impressed because for one thing, my Mom had way more to do with raising me than my Dad did, so why should he get all the credit? And for another thing, I'm not a possession to be passed from one man to another. Including my mom removed the sexist stigma from the 'who gives this woman' part of the ceremony for me.

    Do any of you have any recommendations on how to tel my dad he's not going to be the one walking me down the aisle?

    I mean he's never said anything about it, and being that he's only been around for 2 years consistently, I don't feel like he should even think that he gets too. I still feel like I need to tell him he's not though.

    @futuremrsmccall- I would just tell your dad that your honoring him at your wedding with the dance, but you want your mom and grandpa to walk you down the aisle. I don't think he would have a problem with that. Since you are saying it to sound "fair"

    Both my mom and my dad passed away, so I'm having my dads brother and my moms brother walk me down the aisle.

    My 3 older brothers are walking me down the aisle. I owe my life to them. I didn't get the chance to know my father and they, and my mother of course, raised me. One will be on each side and the youngest of the three will be behind me (he chose to be there, I suggested that he be a groomsman because I didn't want him behind, but he insisted). Fortunately the chairs is our venue can be positioned where the aisle will be big enough.

    Yes, I recently asked my Mom to walk me down the aisle along with my Dad. I told her she was just as responsible for raising me to be the woman I am today. She cried a little...it was awesome

    You could do something like this for your grandfather and mom but maybe slightly different

    Both my parents are walking me down the aisle. I wasn't sure how to go about doing this since I want to carry my bouquet as well as have my arm in both of theirs? Or I could do it like the photo where they hold hands behind me.

    @LaineL you can hold your bouquet and your parents can link arms with yours
