    Totally having my dad walk me down! I've dreamed it that way for so long. Not so much for the "giving me away," but the symbolism that I am starting my life with my FH and my dad gets to "see me off," like the protector my dad has always been for me. I know I'm going to bawl!

    Both my parents. But we are stopping at their pew and I'm seating them then finishing on my own. It will only be a couple steps alone but I didnt want the giving away part. And my train is huge so them going back to the seats around it would be more difficult.

    Just an update for you: my mom has decided she does want to walk me down, too. I'm pretty sure my dad will be thrilled by this. Less eyes on him! Hopefully we all fit down the aisle together...

    I would like to have that, but I don't have anyone to do it.

    I'm having my dad walk me down. I couldn't imagine my wedding without him and I know he'll be smiling proudly about the strong, independent daughter on his arm.

    My mom will be walking me down the isle. She and my dad split when I was a baby, and while I have an okay relationship with my dad, He hasn't ever really been there for me my whole life so I would just rather my mom walk me down the isle.

    I really don't want that, but my FH is a little bit closer to traditions than I. And I know my father would want to, but I have no idea, yet.
