Mom and dad giving me away

This is normal in Jewish weddings. I think it's nice.

I know in some catholic churches they like to recommend to be given away by both parents so I've seen it more and more. I think it's up to you what you feel most comfortable with.

I had both my parents walk me down the aisle! It was very special! I am close with both of my parents. My friend also had both her parents escort her. Neither of us are Jewish, btw!

I plan to have both parents. I don't think it is weird at all

We don't personally 'give' anyone away, but we will often ask for support of both parents.

My parents are both walking me down the aisle. As Celia pointed out our officiant then will ask if they support this relationship and marriage( this will be asked to FH's parents at the same time). It was really important for my mom that she walk me down the aisle.

I'm not going to be "given away" because I am not property, but I will walk down the aisle with both of my parents. My FH is doing the same.

Since I am Jewish, it is normal for both parents to walk down the aisle with their child.

I've never liked the notion of being 'given away.' If you have a good relationship with both parents, I say walk with both.

Edit: hit submit too fast.

Mine did!

I first sang at a wedding about 15 years ago - big Catholic church - and both the bride's parents walked with her.

I'm not into the sexist/archaic tradition, that you have to have a male relative walk with the bride. I wanted my groom to walk in, with both his parents, but he nixed it.

I think it's awesome to also include your mom. They both raised you and I don't know how it could possibly be taking anything away from your dad by having his wife also walk their daughter down the aisle. Only my mom will be walking me

I don't think it's abnormal at all. I've seen it done a few times and I think it's sweet.

Nope not abnormal!! FH and I are Catholic, and we will be walking down the aisle together. We are the ministers of our own sacrament, we are equals, and neither of us is property to be given away.

Jewish bride here, this is what normal is.

My dad is walking me down the aisle but my mom is joining us at the front. They both raised me, so they both should be there. Bonus: my mom will make sure my veil hangs nicely in the back after my dad flips my blusher!

I'm doing this. My dad was glad I decided to include my mom this way!

My second marriage so I am walking in the chapel on my own, but im having my parents at the front to meet me.

I think it is a lovely idea of that is what if you want to do! If your dad says he is fine with it, then I'm sure he won't mind! If it really concerns you have a sit down with ONLY your father and ask him to tell you the truth about what he thinks.

I have always dreamed of my dad walking me down the isle and giving me away since I was a little girl. If I hadn't wanted that since I was little i would probably have my mom and dad walk me, too. What I plan on doing is having my mom walk in with my nephew first, then my FH's mom and step-dad, then the wedding party, the ring bearer, the flower girls, and me and my dad.

My mom wants to walk me down the aisle with my dad too. I think it's a nice thought. Both parents raised you, so both parents should usher you into the next phase of your life.

Both my mom and dad are giving me away. I'm looking forward to this very special moment :-)

I think it can be whatever you want it to be. My mom is walking me down the aisle and having a mother daughter dance with me. She played both roles in my life and I want to honor her any way I can

Even if it is a little unconventional.
