No one to walk me down the aisle

Sorry for your loss.

I think you have the person you want to walk you down walk you down. You could even walk alone if you wanted. But it is not at all weird to have your FFIL walk you down.

I think your FFIL walking you down the aisle is a great idea. As far as offending anyone, could you talk in advance to those who you think would be?

I'm sorry for your loss. If you feel comfortable having FFIL walking you down the aisle, go for it. You don't have to have anyone if you prefer. I attended a wedding where the bride walked down the aisle by herself and I didn't even think anything of it until someone mentioned it later.

I'm sure your FFIL would be honored. Anything that would bring you joy on your special day should be considered! Have a blessed wedding and marriage!

FFIL would be sweet if that's what you want. Personally, I would walk halfway and meet my FH and walk the rest of the way together...kind of symbolizing stepping into the new commitment together.

Sorry for your loss. I wish you love and happiness.

Have you thought about instead of walking with a bouquet to walk with a picture of both your parents in a decorated picture frame? That can be a great tribute to them and comfort for yourself to reassure you that you are never alone. That way you won't have to ask your future father in law or your step parents to step in because you have your parents.

Wish you luck and congrats!

So sorry for your loss. I think if having your ffil walk you makes you feel most comfortable you should do it. I'm sure he would be honored.

So sorry about your parents. I think you can have whoever you want to walk you do it and they would be honoured.

I personally do not want to be walked down the aisle, my father passed away and I don't like the idea of someone else replacing him, and being 'given away' by anyone else.

Instead, I am walking myself. My FH is going to come down and meet me as I am almost at the front, take my hand, and holding hands we will walk up to the front together.

Sorry for your loss! Keep them in your heart and you'll definitely feel your parents at your wedding.

Whoever walks you down the aisle will know how important of a job it is so whoever you pick will be great and will be honored. Go with your heart!

Oh man I'm so sorry. I think your FFIL would be honored to walk you down the aisle!

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am also a first time bride in my 40s. I do not have a relationship with my biological father or my step-dad (who raised and adopted me). I am walking halfway down the aisle by myself, the FH is meeting me and we're walking the rest of the way together. It's symbolic of our lives, starting alone, finishing together.

I have taken my shoes to my grandmother and she is sewing little trinkets with my father's pictures onto the back of them so he can still walk me down the aisle.

@Cortlynn, that is so special! I've never heard of that idea before, but it is incredibly symbolic!

@Angela, I think you should ask your FFIL to walk you down the aisle if you would be most comfortable asking him to do so. You are very lucky to be marrying into a family that you are already so close to and I'm sure your FFIL would be quite honored to walk you down the aisle and to know that you look to him as a father figure.

Have your man walk with you or walk by yourself

You don't have to have anyone walk you down actually. My wife and I did not. We walked in our own.

So sorry for your loss.

Both of my parents are deceased and while I love my FFIL, I can not bring myself to have any other man "stand in" for my dad. I think walking alone is symbolic that he's still there in spirit...and that he truly can't be replaced. That's just me though. Now for the father-daughter dance, I did ask my FH to stand in but I'm also doing a FIL dance. I guess you just do your best to honor parents and do something meaningful for you too.

I'm so sorry to hear about your parents. I think it would be lovely to ask your FFIL to walk you down, if you feel close to him. You can also walk yourself!

Also, please change your avatar to something other than the rings. That will help you get more responses to your posts!

I'm so sorry for you loss, I think you ffil would probably feel honoured to walk you down the aisle and you should go for that it it's what you want

You could absolutely have FFIL walk down the aisle. Or you could walk alone, I know plenty of Brides who walk down alone

I'm so sorry for your losses! I walked alone and it wasn't weird at all.
