Father daughter walk down the aisle, yes or no?

Kat, on September 4, 2020 at 11:01 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 1 5
So my fiance and I still plan to get married this year in less than two months. My father wants to walk me down the aisle to give me away. But idk how I feel about it at this current time. I'm not close to my parents as much as I would like to be. And with covid happening my fiance and I are still pushing social distancing as well as making everyone wear masks. Especially since my fiance and I are working full time and my dad is required to travel for work (which he is still visiting people and places with high covid cases).


My problem is if I should let him walk me down the aisle side by side touching (like someone would normally do) or should I go down on my own? I don't know what to do or how to even approach this subject with him.

    I think if you explain to him your worries about covid and stuff then he will get it. I walked down the aisle by myself.

    My only worry is that he won't understand since it seems like me and my fiance are more worried than most of my family.

    Right, but he doesn't have to understand, so much as accept your boundaries.

    I'm sorry, because this is so tough.

    Talk to him, explain your concerns. Maybe ask that he stop traveling for 2 weeks before? To minimize exposure? (...Maybe even get tested?) Make up a firm boundary - if he stops traveling and gets a negative test, he can walk you down the aisle, if he doesn't, then nope.

    Practice this, if you have to. Have your FH help.

    Would him having a negative test make you worry less? I think either way is fine but if your main concern is Covid, ask him to take a test before the wedding!

    Just be honest with him. He'll have to respect your boundaries.
