Incorporate young son to take part in “giving away of bride “

Ashley, on March 7, 2018 at 9:38 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
I have been a single mom for 8+ years and really want my son Adriel (8) to have a special part in our ceremony. I contemplated having him walk me down the aisle but I think my dad should actually walk me down. I was thinking of adding a part for him to speak or be acknowledged around the same time.... thoughts and ideas about how to integrate it all?!??

    I'm having my son (10) walk me down the aisle but this is my second wedding. My dad walked me the first time. Maybe you can have your dad waiting for you at the altar to still "give you away". Also don't forget the father-daughter dance.

    Is your aisle big enough for the three of you to walk down the aisle? Or for him to be waiting for you at the end and just be part of the actual handoff.

    I think most 8 y/o boys would be scared to speak on a wedding, but you know him better. He can be a ring bearer and stand next to your FH. Or if you are doing a sand ceremony or any other special ceremony he can participate. You could have a dance with him.

    Why don't you have your dad and your son walk you down? Oh maybe he can walk your mom down? or have him maybe walk in front of you? Kind of like a protector type thing

    I’m thinking of having my son (9) walk me down the aisle. This is my second marriage also.

    I had this same thought with my daughter too but I wanted her to have her own role. She's going to walk after the bridal party just before me with a sign that says "daddy here comes mommy" or "daddy here comes your girls!" Her title in the programs will be "Jr maid of honor" a role my sister was happy to share with her favorite niece.

    I have 2 sons and they are walking me. My youngest will lead off then give me to my first born who will walk me the rest of the way. They will both say we are when asked who's giving this woman away. That's my plan will see how it turns out at rehearsal in 2 weeks. YiKeS!!

    Have his new stepdad write vows to him. Have him be your ring bearer.
