Thank you, and you're welcome!

I don't think walking alone is bad, or anything. You have to gain a different perspective, you're not actually walking ALONE, you father is walking right next to you and I bet he would be smiling all the way! You could probably chose a hair piece to honor your father, something you think he would pick out for you or get a really nice locket with ya'll favorite picture and tie around you flowers with the ribbon you're using. I find that when the Bride walks herself down, there is a sense of strong willed and courageous persona there. And everyone will know exactly how to feel if he was there to walk you down.

Yes ma'am it was for you. I wish I could have both of my Grandfathers but they are all gone as well. You are an angel. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. Your response was beautiful.

Girl, my heart goes out to you. I am so so sorry for your loss ❤. Your dad will be there in spirit, he wouldn't miss your big day for the world.

As for walking down the aisle not escorted, I think it will be fine. I've seen and attended a few weddings where it was just the bride that walked down.

For ways to include your dad I would maybe add something to your dress or bouquet. I had a friend who put a charm on her bouquet that held a photo of her dad. I've seen some people take old shirts or ties from the passed away and make like a handkerchief or fabric flower. If your dad had a favorite sports team, color, animal etc. you can also add a pin to your dress or flowers.

Sending you love 💕

My wedding was this past Sunday and I walked alone. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

It is totally a thing to walk alone! I'm so sorry for your loss. If my father couldn't be at my wedding, I would have walked down alone. I wouldn't want anyone else in that role. I've seen brides walk down the aisle alone, with their dad, with their mother, with grandparents, or with their kids. Whatever works best for you, you should do!

Thank you Jordana. I have plenty of his neck ties because he loved to dress nice. I have a few favorite pics also that I can incorporate. Thank you for that idea and your condolences.

Hey MrsD. Thank you for your encouragement.

My husband-to-be met me half-way and walked with me, hand-in-hand up to the priest. My father was there but I didn’t like the feeling of being given away. But I’ll always have that memory of him grasping my hand, and both of us overcome with emotion, walking together into our future.

Sorry for your loss & how is your relationship with your mom or do you have a daughter or son who can walk you down the isle

My cousin walked down the aisle with her mom, there are many options now! Good luck with everything!

If your close to your mom she could walk you. I'm sorry for your loss it's hard always imagining something to be a certain way and then circumstances change and they can no longer be! You could have a picture of him as a keychain on your bouquet or hold a picture of him instead of a bouquet. I'm gonna have a remembrance table for all the people in heaven that couldn't be at our wedding!

My heart hurts for you and your loss. I lost my dad 10 years ago.

I am walking with my mom in recognition that she has worn both hats for the past 10 years — she effectively became a single parent in her 50s / my 20s. Over the past decade, she gave me all the love, advice, and support I could have had from two parents. She is the person who has really shown up for me and I want to honor that.

I also get her gifts for Father’s Day actually.

I to understand, my last wedding my parents didn't attend that wedding I had my best friend's husband to walk me. I haven't read all your replies yet, maybe the son of MOH, or close friend family member. This is YOUR MOMENT don't allow folks and blood related family members put a damper on your beautiful day.
