Meeting half way?

FutureMrsHancock, on September 21, 2017 at 4:08 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

Just seen on tv (TLC's 4 weddings) the groom and bride met in the middle of the aisle FOB "gave her away" there it was different, but kinda cute, kinda weird and unique....question is has any one seen it in person, done it, thought of doing it? Not that I want to do it necessarily just haven't EVER seen this but interested to see what everyone thinks about this as I'm on the fence about it

    It's a cute idea. Do what you're feeling. My mom walked me down the aisle all the way and I met H at the altar Smiley smile

    I'm having my uncle walk me he's been the most inspirational figure in my life but I'm not sure if the half way takes away the "specialness" (that's probably a real word lol) of it

    I feel that wether you are "given away" in the middle of the aisle or at the end, you are still being "given away". I have never seen that in a wedding and would probably think of it as a little odd because no matter what you meet at the end and can transfer hands or arm lock. Only have I ever heard of a Bio-dad meet half way with the step-dad or some sort of order like that..

    hhmmm.... you brought up a good question!

    Like MjD said, I have only seen/heard of the halfway thing for like a stepdad/father figure person and then hands off to bio dad for the final few feet. I don't think it would take anything away from anyone to do the halfway vs all the way thing--totally your preference. Smiley smile

    I saw something similar once. Bride had no parents or anyone else to walk her down the aisle. She walked solo, then her fiancé met her halfway and they walked to the alter together. It was beautiful.

    I think I may do this still have to see if FH is comfortable with it he's a major introvert I'm hoping he won't act like he's getting teeth pulled about all the pics being taken

    I'm walking down myself and thinking of having my FH meet me half way and we'll walk down together, and then just have my dad stepmom and mother stand when they ask "who gives this person" whatever. No one is "giving me away" half way but I think I'll feel better about having my FH meet me halfway

    Calling uncle tonight to ask his thoughts I know he'll be honest if he'd feel "jipped"
