i have to walk alone...

Did your dad have a hanker cheif or a chain or something he wore? Or a tie? If she carry that down the isle with you.

What about your mom

My dad passed in 2004 and everyone keeps asking me who’s walking me down the aisle and insists on making suggestions as to who could however I’m adamant about walking myself because i don’t feel as though anyone else could “give me away”. I plan to have a picture of my dad hanging from my boutique

My father passed away in 1997, and I plan on walking alone

I just want to say that I am so, so sorry. I lost my mom a while back and understand how rough it can be. Sending you hugs.

I'm walking alone. I've had several people offer to walk me down the aisle and even more suggest I ask my mom, but even my mom told me to do what I want to do. There's no right way to get married outside of legal requirements like witnesses and licenses. I'll have a charm with my grandpa's picture and another with my eldest brother's picture, as they also passed away. And I agree with the person that said they are not property. I don't need anyone to 'give me away'. I don't belong to anyone.

As far as why I didn't want my mom to walk me, I feel like she deserves her own place in the ceremony procession.

First let me say I’m sorry for your loss. Times like this are tough without loved ones. If you are close to your mom maybe she could walk you down the aisle. Of course you can always walk alone. That has become more popular now. And I would get a bouquet charm with a picture of your dad in it and carry that so he is with you on that walk. Good luck.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I personally have my younger brother walking me down the aisle in lieu of but, I think walking by yourself is perfect! You could have a bouquet charm with a picture of him or sew a piece of his clothing on the inside of your dress in his memory

I'm so sorry for your loss. You could certainly walk alone if you wanted! They sell little locket/frames that you could wrap in to your bouquet to have him walk with you! My friend got married in Aruba and her father passed away when she was younger so she had her mother walk her down the aisle.

Kristin I really like that idea and it sounds sweet. I may have to let my FH know that this may be what I want. Thanks so much.

Praying for you! God’s comfort is surrounding you and please know that I will be lifting you up in prayer.

View Quoted Comment DH gave me a Locket with my Mom’s picture on one side and “She’s always with you” on the other. I would’ve had her walk with me if it had been an option.

My mom and I relationship is ok. Me and FH have a 5 year old son together and I mentioned having him walk me down and he said no because he has something special planned that includes my son.

I walked by myself. Even up to the morning of, I had people try to volunteer themselves. I put my foot down and said no! My FIL was supposed to walk me down, but he died 2 years ago. I walked with him on my bouquet.

Mrs. Bubba oh wow yeah I thought about the FiL too, but I think I may just go at ti alone at this point or have FH meet me half way.

I second this one. My dad passed two months before my sisters wedding and my mom walked her down the isle and did her father/daughter dance with her. Everyone thought it was wonderful.

I’m walking alone.

Stephanie, my father passed away 8 years, so I know what you are feeling right now. My uncle is walking my down the aisle. I think you can have anyone walk you down the aisle that you feel comfortable with - even your mamma or your a sister? Aunt or best friend? Anyone you feel supported by. And if there is no one, then you walk by yourself and know your dad is there in spirit!

I think at my wedding I'm going to have a little memorial to my dad with one or two pictures with a couple candles.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad - my heart goes out to you. Sending good vibes!
