Brother Walking Me down the Aisle...?!?

What do YOU want? You have TWO YEARS to think about this, don't agree to anything now. I am sorry on the loss of your dad.

View Quoted Comment I really do want him to walk me down the aisle, but I'm not sure what the best decision would be as to getting everyone else down. I'll keep thinking on it. thank you ♡

Since you don't get to choose your fh's party, have him walk you down the aisle and don't worry about bridesmaids matching up. FWIW your party and your fh's party don't have to be the same size.

View Quoted Comment That's true. We have who we both want decided I think, but I'm really just thinking not worrying about them matching up is the least stressful option. 😊

Your brother can walk down the aisle, then go stand with the groomsmen. I think it’s really sweet that you want him to walk you.

Plenty of people have uneven wedding parties. You could either have the bridesmaids walk down the aisle on their own, or have two bridesmaids walk with one groomsmen. Both are fine options.

View Quoted Comment That makes me feel a lot better. Thank you!!

So sorry for your lost. My dad passed away 3 months ago and the I didn't think twice about having my big little brother walk me down. He's a year younger than me but he acts like he the oldest. Anyway he's happy to do it and although I had to take him from my grooms party my FH fully understood. So we are having my 2 sister's who's the moh and matron of honor walk in together instead of moh walking alone as originally planned. Then my brother will jump back in as groomsman when we make the entrance back into the room so my moh will walk with best man and matron-o-h will walk with my brother.

View Quoted Comment Sorry for your loss, as well. I'm so glad you were able to find a plan that works for you!! That sounds like a great idea. I was planning on having my moh walk alone if I had anyone (she's my aunt, but she and I are close like sisters).

In terms of having all of your bridesmaids "walked" down the aisle, you can have one groomsman walk 2 bridesmaids... one on each arm. Then once your brother walks you down the aisle he can join the rest of the groomsmen.

First, I am so sorry for your loss. Please dont over stress about this. You can do a couple different things. Have one groomsman walk two bride's maid down. OR have your brother walk the first bridesmaid down, then loop back around to escort you. Don't overthink the logistics, and dont let it interfere with what will make the day best for you, as well as your brother. No one will think twice about it, especially when they see you and brother walking together given the circumstances.

My father has passed away along with my 2 brothers. Go with your heart and not tradition... don't stress or make it hard... it's whatever YOU want and others will understand

View Quoted Comment I like the idea of him looping around. thank you! ♡

View Quoted Comment I'm sorry for your losses. I know it never gets easier, but we do get through it day by day. I just want sure what I wanted and was hoping to get some opinions to make my decision easier.

Hi Calliegh! I am so sorry for your loss. I really like the idea of your brother looping back around to walk you down the aisle. It will work smoothly. Hang in there; everything will work out just fine. Remain strong and positive.

Traditionally the BMs walk in alone and the GM just walk in from the side with the groom. I'd just do that! So your brother can walk you down the aisle.

HUGS to you. I’ve been to a wedding where a groomsman (bro of bride) escorted mom, walked down the aisle alone, and then circled back again for the bride! It sounds like you have a wonderful relationship with your brother, and it would be an honor for him to walk you down the aisle.
