Mom and dad giving me away

My mom wants to give me away along with my dad. How normal is tho? I don't want to take away the moment from my dad even though he says he's ok with it. What's everyone's take on this? I'm still undecided on this

    Thanks everyone!! I should have mentioned my parents are divorced. I don't remember seeing it at many weddings so I wasn't sure. I appreciate all the input and it's helping me decide. I think going with both parents is what I'm going to do. Especially to not hurt any feelings.

    Both of my grandparents walked my mom down the aisle, so she wants the same for me. I have no problem with this, it's been common in my family at least

    Both my parents will be walking me down the aisle, partly because they both raised me, also because I hate the symbolism of male ownership of the father "giving" the bride to her husband. If your parents are divorced I suggest you talk to them about what they prefer and take that into consideration

    My mom will walk down with my stepdad and sit on the aisle. My dad will walk me down and when we get to the front my mom will stand and come over to us. My friend got married last weekend and did it that way and it was perfect.

    This is totally normal and won't take anything away your dad. Rather, it will allow for a special moment for both parents.
