Having TWO People Walk Me Down the Aisle!

Mrs. E, on December 30, 2016 at 2:55 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 11

I would like to have both my dad and older brother walk me down the aisle. The question is not IF i should do it....it's HOW? When I see pictures of it being done it tends to look crowded. I also really dislike the look have having each of my arms hooked into another. Any advice on a unique way to go about it? Something that will look nice and will keep me the center of attention while walking down the aisle? Thanks in advance everyone!

    Well, you've got two arms, there's two of them...that should make it easy. Have each of them hold an arm and you all walk down together. It's common in Jewish weddings for both parents to walk the bride down the aisle and the groom's parents to walk down with him.

    Regardless of the set-up, you're going to be the center of attention; it won't confuse anyone as to who the bride is.

    I've heard of one person walking the bride halfway down, the other walking the bride the rest of the way. I've also heard of them walking slightly behind the bride, as @the D mentioned. If they do walk beside you, I don't think it's mandatory that your arms are linked.

    Honestly, if you're that concerned about it, you don't need anyone to walk you down the aisle. They could walk down before you and wait at the end of the aisle to give you away that way.

    It's pretty common with my couples; if you're in a venue, you just need to let them know your aisle has to be accommodating to three people.

    I don't really get the logic of having your brother walking you half way and your father walking you the other half. Symbolically, it doesn't make sense to me.

    Maybe have your dad walk you and your brother hand you the rings? Do a reading?

    Thanks everyone! I guess we just have to play around with it. Having both of them do it is very important to me for individual reasons.

    Hold your bouquet with both hands. Have dad and bro each cup your elbow in their hand. Don't link arms.

    I agree that in some photos it looks as though the bride is being dragged down the aisle against her will.

    I had both my parents walk me down the aisle and honestly, if I could do it again, I'd choose to walk by myself.

    My parents both walked me down the aisle and it worked out perfectly.
