Down the aisle help!!

I have been thinking about my trip down the aisle even though it’s two years away. I don’t have the best relationship with my father (I haven’t spoken to him in almost two years) and I’m thinking of walking down the aisle by myself. I thought for a little bit that my brother could walk me but I like the idea of going alone a little better. I’d still have my dad attend and have a father-daughter dance but I don’t know if I want him to walk me down the aisle. Is that weird? Would I be putting him in to much of an uncomfortable position? Is it going to be to much of a skeptical?

If your dad is old-fashioned, it might hurt him. Especially if you still want to invite him and have your father-daughter dance. You just have to think about how he would feel sitting there and watching you walk down the aisle alone.
You have 2 years, so if it's something you wanted you could work on your relationship with him.

I'm not doing a first dance with my dad, but I'm still having him walk down the aisle. I dont have the best relationship with him either, but I'm letting him walk me to avoid family drama.

Exactly. I want to avoid the drama but I like the idea of walking by myself.

I walked down the aisle myself and didn't do a parent dance. Aha it wasn't to shade my dad or anything. I just felt like the aisle walk was my journey to my husband on my own

That’s exactly how I feel. But my dad wasn’t and isn't always present in my life so I don’t want to be shady.

I don't think it's weird at all. More and more women are choosing this option and it can symbolize your independence as you enter into your marriage. Hopefully things get better between you and your dad, but either way walk the aisle the way you want.

I’m walking by myself but still having a father-daughter dance! My dad and I have a normal relationship (we were never super close but he’s always been there). I’m just a really independent person and I low-key want all of the attention on me. Haha. I’ve worried slightly if it will come off as shady to other people, too, but there is no reason it should. It’s definitely becoming more popular!
