Has anyone walked down the aisle alone ?

I wish I could have walked down the aisle myself! I don't like the whole "giving away" thing, but it meant a lot to my parents to walk me down, so I let them. I don't think there's anything wrong with walking by yourself. Now, if you want a friend to walk you down, that's fine too.

I didn't have anyone walk me down the aisle because I don't like the implication of being transferred from one person to another--I'm a grown-@ss woman. :-)

Basically, you can have anyone you want walk with you, or you can walk by yourself. No one is going to think anything of it.

I am walking down the aisle alone (in less than 3 weeks). My Father passed away 9 years ago and my thoughts are - if my Dad cannot walk me down, then I want to go it alone.

I see not reason why you can't walk down alone!

I really like this idea, and never thought of it before. i've heard of it, but wished i would of thought this over before i made my decision.

Thank you guys, I just have never been to a wedding where the bride walked alone . Also, was not sure if anyone ever dealt with parents choosing not to be involved, or even care at all because my child has problems??? Seems so ridiculous, nothing could have kept them from my sisters wedding and her husband is horrible. They always loved us as a couple but abandoned us and my other kids when times got tough. So tired of being the one to take care of everyone and never have any family to have my back. FH is in the same boat and it's hard to plan your wedding when everyone has walked away instead of standing by you when you need them most ! We are fortunate enough to have our best friends of 20 yrs behind us . You can't choose your family, but thank God for friends like ours.!

I will be walking down alone as my father and I do not get along!

I walked alone and I'm so happy I did! I had my birth father, my step father, my mother and my brother all there who could have done it but it just didn't feel right for my circumstances. You don't have to adhere to having a man walk you down the aisle if that's not what fits your life. The bonus is in the photos it's all about you and your FH gets to see only you in that moment. We loved it!

I walked alone. My hubby walked my new sis-in-law when she married my brother (her parents are deceased and my hubby is the oldest male in the family).

Weddings I've officiated: both parents walking groom, both parents walking bride, brother walking bride, her children walking bride, friend walking bride, bride walking alone -- anything goes. Do what makes you happy!

I plan to walk alone

Late last year I videoed a very intimate ceremony which consisted of the bride, groom and minister. The photographer and myself (videographer) were witnesses. It was one of the most special ceremonies I've ever seen. No family involvement, total focus on the couple getting married. Blew me away! So walk on sister!

I will be walking alone.

I thought about walking alone d/t issues w/ my family but I decided it was easier to give in than fight but you could have your FH met you 1/2 down the isle. A friend was telling that she went to wedding where the bride walked alone she went 1/2 down the aisle and then her FH walked 1/2 down the isle to met her and walk the rest of the way with her. My friend said this looked very nice and was very sweet.

Many of my brides walk alone, or walk down with their fiance.

If my step father and my dad dont get it together I will be walking alone

I was thinking on walking down the aisle alone as well but if possible I’ll love to give that honor to my Mom instead...if she can make it to the big day because she lives in Cuba.

I see not reason why you can't walk down alone this days is very very usual :-)

My parents won't be at my wedding and I originally planned to walk down the aisle alone. I've since asked my younger brother to walk me down. I think you should do whatever you are comfortable with-- but don't feel like anyone has to walk you down.

Woah...Celia's drinking the kool-aid?

I like the idea of walking down the aisle with your FS. Why should he or she have to wait up there all by themselves when it's about them too. Walk down together. (You can have your photog take pics of you beforehand where you see each other for the first time.)

Im having my brother walk me down the aisle, hes been more of a dad in my life than my own dad, but If he can't make it (hes a marine getting ready to be shipped out) Im gonna walk down the aisle myself. There is no harm in it, i think it actually shows that you are independent and can stand alone, and then when you join him in the front you are saying yes I can be independent but I am willing to give up somethings in order to make a wonderful marraige. Good Luck

Do what works for you. My wife and I walked down the aisle together. Others have walked by themselves, or with a friend or relative (male or female). Like other traditions, you should follow the ones that are meaningful to you, and forget the rest.

I actually never thought of doing it alone... my dad passed away and so my mom is doing it. She doesn't know she's doing it yet and I don't know how she will react to it..she's very shy... so I may end up doing it alone...
