Asking father to walk you down aisle, a thing?

I asked my dad just in a normal conversation but I think he appreciated that I asked even though it was assumed. I do have a step dad so I will be doing two father daughter dances.

I didn't ask him. He already knew. We've discussed it. Don't let me fall and i told him to behave. He's an onry old fart.

I've never heard of this as "a thing". I didn't ask my dad. I'm pretty sure he would have thought it was weird if I did. I'm very close with my dad, but much goes unsaid between us- not because we don't talk about things, but because we just get each other. Our relationship is filled with many good talks, but also lots of comfortable silence. Not everyone's relationship with their father is the same as mine though, so perhaps yours would like to be asked; you would know best!

Thank you! I think for me it would a little awkward but sweet, my dad is hard exterior but a freakin teddy bear on the inside and loves his kids. He doesn't show love as often but I think he'd like to know that he's loved back. I also want to ask everyone to be a part of our day in a meaningful way.

My dad just knew he is going to walk me down the aisle. It's like an unspoken thing between us that he would do this.

I haven't thought about how I'm going to ask my uncle to walk me down the aisle...but it's something I plan on doing

My "Papa" (sweetest elderly man at church ever) asked me if he could walk me down the aisle. I said of course, and my brother was a little hurt. Papa asked because both my father and grandfather are no longer with us. I wouldn't have asked my father had he been alive but that's beside the point. The day before the wedding, I just asked my brother if he could walk too. I didn't want to ask initially because he has a daughter and I didn't want to take away from her moment; I wanted him to have his first time walking someone down the aisle with his daughter. It meant so much to my mom that he walked me down the aisle. I think just asking honestly would be a good idea. Our you could write him a card. Regardless, the ask is going to be so special. My brother actually cried when I asked and he teared up on the walk. I'm getting teary thinking about it all! I hope your ask moment is magical for you and your dad!

Basically my dad assumed. We didn't even talk about it, he just said "so when this happens...blah blah".

Maybe write a note in his father's day card telling him how special he is to you and asking him to walk you? Not the most elaborate idea, but it would be sweet and something he could keep.

I think it's a cute idea. I just assumed my dad would assume he was walking me down the aisle, but then my step-mom told me that he told her he wasn't sure who I would have do it. I was like....who else would I have do it??? Lol. So I ended up passively sending the parents an e-mail with a "tentative" schedule that showed my dad was walking me down so there wouldn't be any question.

You know your dad best, if you think he'd like to be asked ask him. My dad passed several years ago and my step dad and I don't get along, he's not coming to our wedding at all! I asked my daughters from my previous marriage, they are 12 and 10 and they said yes if that's what you want mama.

Bridal party proposals used to not be a thing, now they are. In a year or two I bet this will be a thing too, thankfully it's not...yet...lol.

Father's Day would be a sweet time to do it. Maybe just pull him aside and tell him how much it would mean to you to have him walk you down the aisle.

In my family, both our mother and our father walk us down the aisle. It's been that way for decades, so no one really has the need to ask.
