No Father Walk/dance

Hey ladies, so I won't be having my father at the wedding due to family issues. I'm basically not having a lot of my family there (if any) - so my question is do I walk down the aisle by myself and do my first dance with my fiance'? I personally don't mind this but it has been making me feel a bit bothered and discouraged. It's also embarrassing a little to go through this process slightly alone. Also, my mother is in another state and we aren't too close. She may be there at the wedding I am not sure about that either. So at this point I'm by myself. My brother is already a part of the groom party (not really wanting to walk with my brother). This is one of those **sigh** moments.

Welcoming any comments and advices ❤

Awww, nothing to be embarrassed about!! My dad and I do not have a very strong relationship. I had him walk me down the stairs so I wouldn't faceplant and to involve him to some extent. But we parted at the beginning of the aisle and I walked myself. I think this is a lot more common now.

I also have no relationship with my father, and my brothers wouldn't feel comfortable walking me down the aisle, so I didn't ask them. My mother said no when I asked her to walk me down the aisle ☹️ My husband didn't want to wait for me at the altar, and I didn't want to walk alone, so we entered the room together and walked down the aisle together. We skipped parent dances, and only did a first dance.

My father and I don’t have the best relationship, and he suffers from severe anxiety so I knew he did not want to be the center of attention. I chose to walk down the aisle by myself. I didn’t hear anyone make any comments about it being non-traditional. We also did not do a father-daughter dance. My husband and his mother are close so they did their dance. Again, nothing was said to me about why I didn’t do a dance or anything of that nature. It is your and your future husband’s day. Do whatever makes your guys comfortable. That is exactly what we did, and I have no regrets.

Thank you ladies for such great encouragement. I am sorry for those who lost their fathers. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am feeling a lot more better about everything and I will most likely walk down on my own and I will feel good about it. Wish you all the best
