Can my ex husband walk me down the aisle?

His name was Bernard. We were married for six and a half years and very much in love.

His name was Bernard. We were married for six and a half years and very much in love. We decided (mutually) to split because after his 3rd heart attack and his quadruple bypass, he could no longer satisfy me sexually. We tried introducing a surrogate sex partner into our relationship, but it made Bernard sad to watch me have sex with a strapping, young man. I did my best to maintain eye contact with my husband and even shout out his name, but the tears still rolled down his cheeks as he watched Chad and I make love.

Eventually, Bernard and I parted ways and he gave his blessing for me and the surrogate sex partner to get married. So my question is, would it be inappropriate for my ex husband to walk (or roll, since he's in a wheelchair) me down the aisle? I think it's almost poetic since my old lover is handing me off to my new one. Also, Bernard is like a father to me, since he's 40 years my senior.

What would you do?

Happy Friday ladies! Have fun!

    OregonEmily: oh, my bad. I must have read that in a history book. I'll take care to be on ww more often to learn truth. Smiley tongue

    Kris10: Cool!! I love finding date twins!!!

    For dress, maybe I was on a different track, but I was thinking more of something like this:

    @CrystalS- While that is a caring suggestion, I'm still Bernard's sole beneficiary. If he kicks the bucket at the wedding, Chad and I will be having a very lavish honeymoon.

    And we could save money by doing a combination wedding/funeral! We would already have a backhoe rented for the kids to play on, so digging his grave would be a breeze!

    Another common misconception, Kris. THIS is "deer in the headlights chic"

    If you're thinking more laid back than camo, there is always this tropical number.

    I know peacock is SUPER hot right now. Try out this little number. Just make sure your ex's wheelchair doesn't get all caught up on those feathers.

    I don't see why not!

    HEY! You could even consummate your marriage with Bernard there. Maybe instead of a "First Dance" you do a "First F*ck"! You could have Bernard sit in the corner of the dance (or f*ck) floor... You know, for old times sake! Idk, that might be TOO out there! Food for thought!

    LOL we are the sickest, most perverted people out there! I say you should just have a giant orgy at your wedding! Right after you do some Zumba dances and a yoga session. :-)
