Nephew walking me Down the Aisle

Jeanette, on August 16, 2017 at 3:37 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 27

Hey all, so long story short my father died when I was 11. This has been so hard while wedding planning since my FH talks about his Mother son dance and stuff like that. I don't have any close uncles, no brothers, but I do have a 9 year old nephew who is my godson and I am super close with. Does anyone think it is weird for him to walk me down the aisle? My mom doesn't want to do it because she has social anxiety and I don't want to be alone. Any thoughts or suggestions from people in a similar situation? Thanks!

    I think that would be nice. You can also have a woman walk you down. Say if you're close to your sister, a friend or an aunt.

    My son is walking me down the isle. These day's it is about creating your own memories and making it your. Old school traditions are out! Have your godson walk you down the isle

    Do whatever is in your heart! I think that having your nephew/godson walk you down is very sweet. Those are the kind of things that really kick start the waterworks for me at weddings!

    That's something your nephew will remember for the rest of his life. Go for it. Best wishes!

    I think if you and he think it's a good idea - then it's a good idea.

    My father walked me down the aisle, but one of my favorite pictures from our day is DH, myself and my two nephews together. It's a beautiful thing to see the important kids in my life accept my new husband as part of the family.

    This is sweet! Go for it! Does your nephew like to dance? He might enjoy doing a godmother-godson dance if you want to do that in place of the father-daughter dance, too.
