Has anyone walked down the aisle with their fiance?

Elisa, on December 19, 2011 at 3:29 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

So, my husband and I are already married, but we're having the ceremony in November 2012. I was just wondering if anybody here has walked down the aisle as a couple? I'm thinking about doing this just because I don't want to walk by myself, but I don't want anyone "giving" me away because we're already married, you know? Thoughts?

Oh, I might mention too that my husband and I probably won't have that lovely "moment" with me walking towards him... we don't really ooze with romance. The honeymoon is way over. Lol! He'd probably make a funny face and I'd end up laughing down the aisle...

    I recently photographed a wedding where the bride's father had passed away.... her fiancee met her right before she started her walk down the aisle and it was beautiful!

    We have a dilemma of a similar nature--My father is gone, and I have 2 brothers and 3 sons. There's no way I can ask one of them to walk me down the aisle and I think I'll feel a little silly walking down by myself. We aren't having any attendants either--just me. Yikes!! I'm a little nervous about being the only pony on parade--AND to make matters worse, the sanctuary of our church is encased in glass--so anyone who turns around will see me before I enter anyway. Nothing for me to hide behind. Having FH walk up the aisle to meet me is an idea I just thought of last night--and haven't even mentioned it to him yet. Let me know what you decide? PhotogMama--I'm glad you've done that type of thing and that it worked out well.

    I really love it when my couples walk in together; and I always mention it during the ceremony script, about how that is such a reflection on their partnership. It speaks volumes about your relationship. Go for it!

    My cousin did this, I love it! To me it says "ok were in this together baby!". My FH is rather traditional about this and I think it would insult my dad so its out for me Smiley sad

    I think we are going to do it to. I love what it represents. We are walking in as equals and no one is giving me away to him.

    FH and I will be doing this. Both of us have been married before, so I don't need my father to walk me down the aisle. I look at it this way, he's the one who really wants to get married so, dang it he better be the one to walk me down that aisle....LOL. After all we are partners in this.

    Thanks everyone! I think we're going to do this. I really like what it would symbolize.

    Talked to FH about this very thread last night, and the idea of doing a first look photo session to have that moment to ourselves and then walking in together made him very happy. I want everyone to know this is about US..not ME..thanks for starting this thread!!! It's a wonderful idea.

    This post has helped me so much! My parents are going through a divorce because we just found out that my dad had been cheating on my mom for over 3 years... and I'm getting married in 3 months. Talk about a big decision in a short time!!! I don't feel right having him walk me down. I've decided that I'm going to bring up the idea to my fiance of me and him walking together...I think he will go for it...we are getting married in a theater so I can walk down on one side and he could walk down the other side...so we would meet on the stage together. Julie...I love it! the day is about US not just ME. Thank you to all of you! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I feel so much better!
