No one to walk me down the aisle

You’re welcome to walk alone! Or meet your FH half-way then walk together. Or walk together the entire time (that’s what I did). Or your mom or a special aunt can escort you.

Sure, that's what I did and it is becoming more common now. I saw walking down the aisle alone as a symbolic gesture of me being an independent women confident in my choice of partner. Plus, it gave my guests a better unobstructed view of me!

I'm having my mother walk me ❤

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to ask my grandmother to walk me down as she took on both parenting jobs. If you have someone special to you then you can always ask them. Or walking alone is always an option!

I met my dad when I was 17 and have no intention of asking him to walk with me, so I understand. I was initially thinking to walk alone, but I decided to have my son (he’ll be 6) walk with me. My mom suggested she do it since she raised me alone, but I’m also against the idea of being “given away” and the symbolism behind being walked down the aisle. You can totally walk alone.

View Quoted Comment Love the idea of your son walking you down! ❤️

Sadly, my father passed away 2 months ago. I asked my brother to walk me down the isle and he was very touched. I admire those who are able to walk alone...I think I'll be too nervous and will really need an arm to hold on to!

I believe anyone you are really close to can walk you down the aisle. I’m not close with my dad so I asked my brother and mother to walk me.

Stand tall chin up Keyaira it's your day. You got this💪🏽

My dad and I have a completely normal/fine relationship and I’m still not planning on having him walk me down the aisle. I am an independent lady so I don’t think people will be too surprised.

Just work that solo walk and enjoy having all eyes on you!! 🙂🙂

I'm walking with my mom!

You could have anyone who is special to you walk you down! Do you have any brothers or uncles you are close with? Even a grandpa? Or have your mom or grandma! Or just walk alone. You have a lot of options really!

My father passed and I decided that if he couldn’t be there to walk me down the isle than I would walk alone. And the more I wrap my mind around it, the more I like the idea. You are the one presenting yourself and your hand in marriage to your new partner which is great and very meaningful.

I’m going to mirror a lot of the ladies replies. Whatever you decide to do is going to be perfect. My mom is walking me down the aisle because she raised me. If it weren’t her, I’d walk alone as I’m stubbornly independent and no one would be too surprised if I did so.

If if you are not comfortable going by yourself, then think of someone that has supported and loved you past present and future.

My father and I do not have a relationship and never really have. My mom has been my biggest supporter and role model and so I’m having her walk me down the isle. I’d say ask someone you love, respect, and admire to walk you down the aisle if that is what you want. I’m also having a mother/daughter dance instead of father/daughter... sometimes these traditions aren’t very inclusive of different family structures and so I say mix it up! If you want to go down the aisle by yourself then I say that’s your prerogative too. Whatever will make you feel happy on your special day ❤️

Do you have siblings or a good relationship with your mom? If so you could always have one of them walk you down. I’ve also seen people have their future there I. Law walk them as well!

Maybe your uncle ? Or maybe your brother ? Best friend ??

I’m in the same boat as you!! I have no father, or even a male role model. I’m walking myself down the aisle. I feel as if I’m an independent woman who has stood alone raising four kiddos on my own. And this will be the last time I have to walk alone. Because I know have my FH to stand beside me.

Your mother for sure
