Do I have to have someone walk me down the aisle and give me away?

Of course not. This started long ago when there were arranged marriages. The Father would walk his daughter down the Aisle just in case she changed her mind she would be protected. You can give yourself away... No Worries.

Nope you dont

It's your wedding..you can do what you like. Can you have your mom walk you down the aisle? Who's to say it has to be a male figure that walks you down and gives you a way? Both my mother and father are walking me down and giving me away

Also nothing says your mom cant do it or a sister

No you do not have to do anything you don't want to. A lot of brides walk themselves down or have their mom /significant woman walk with them. You do whatever works for you!

Not at all. You can walk by yourself, or even walk down with your FH. I've heard some people walk half way by themselves, stop and have their FH meet them, and then they walk the rest of the way together. I think that's so romantic.

No you don't, my father is also deceased I was thinking of having my mom do it but then FH and I decided to walk down the aisle together, break the tradition and do something different, and it means more to me than anything because he's had such a big impact on my life.

No you don't, my father is also deceased and I walked myself down the aisle.

Not at all. At my age (or for any adult child who has been independent for a long time), I think it's absolutely silly to be "given away", but I think it would mean a lot to my dad, so I'll keep my trap shut about it and let him walk me down the aisle.

Walking alone and giving yourself away is perfectly fine....and i love the idea of walking with your fiance part of the way...whatever you decide will be lovely

You don't need somebody to walk down the aisle I've been in many weddings in where the briede do it alone even with their parents alive, another option is your mom.

No one is giving me away and that's by choice. Both of my parents are walking me to the beginning of the aisle, giving hugs and kisses and then walking down the aisle together to be seated. Then the music will change and I'll walk down. Personally, I think the idea of someone giving me away is ridiculous. If you do want someone to walk with you though, it doesn't have to be a male. If you're close to your mom, for example, she could walk you down the aisle!

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I think I like the idea of walking half way and meeting my FH and walking the rest with him.

No, you can walk by yourself, you could walk with your mom, you could walk with your FH. Do what makes you comfortable!!!

Unless you have someone has a very close personal connection with you that you really want to share that moment with, I would say you'll look stunning walking yourself. Otherwise people may be confused by someone you simply "picked" to walk you down the aisle b/c you felt like you had to.

My momma is walking me down the isle

Im walking down the aisle myself. Both of my parents are going to come to the wedding , but i have really been on my own most of my life so i see it as me giving myself to my FH instead of someone doing it for me.

I am walking down the aisle with my FH. We are having a garden ceremony at our home and it's non conventional. We have been together for 8years and lived together for 4years. It just makes sense for us to go down the aisle together because we are essentially giving ourselves to each other.

You can walk yourself down. I am having my 20 year old son walk me down. You could have anyone oh want if you feel uncomforable, even your best friend can walk with you. However there has been many brides in the past who go solo.

I'm seriously considering having my 3 sons walk me down the aisle they are ages 16, 9 and 11. I think this wud be significant for them bcuz they have been the main male figured in my life since I've been divorced. I feel silly having my dad give me away at my age bcuz he's not too involved in my life. What does anyone think about that?
