Who should walk the bride down the aisle

I am having a dilemma and I was hoping you guys could help me... I have two sons one is 18 years old and 22. I wanted my oldest son to walk me down the aisle for two reasons: one he is the oldest and the place where we are having the ceremony is a little narrow for three people to walk down. My youngest son doesn’t mind and instead he will be reading a poem. The dilemma I am having is that some of my family members think it’s wrong and that they both should be walking me down the aisle. Btw... we are having a non traditional ceremony and it’s a small family wedding. Any advice?? Thx

Do whatever you and your sons want to do. It's your wedding.

Whoever you and your sons want to walk you down the aisle is who should. Your day, your way. If they're fine with it that's all that matters.

You do what you want. Its your wedding. Period. You’re having both your boys involved. If the place is narrow how about have them both walk you at first and ones it starts getting narrow at the aisle have them walk in front of you and maybe have both of them meet you at the altar? Just a thought

I have teenage sons and have a similar dilemma. I’m thinking to have my oldest walk me half way, and then my youngest can do the last half. For “fairness” I considered both at either side of me, that may look odd. At the end of the day, just do what feels right for you guys.

You’re welcome! I thought of it so that my 14 year old won’t feel slighted that I picked his brother over him.

Go with what you want. This isn’t your family’s wedding.

If you’re younger son is fine with it, that’s all that matters.

Your younger son can walk you half way to meet your older son and then he takes over and walks you the rest of the way

I have 3 sons and all of them will walk me down. My youngest will walk me to a certain point, then hand me over to my middle son and he will walk me to a certain point and my oldest will take me the rest of the way. That way they all have shared in walking me down and giving me away to FH

I would say try it with both of them. Either one on each arm (see if the chairs can be moved slightly further out if they are not permanent, like church pews) or have one walk you halfway and then the other take it from there. But if they are also content with doing a reading and one escorting you, that works as well

Ignore the naysayers and do it the way you want. You’re including both sons, they’re fine with it. You’re fine with it. The end.
