Parents refuse to attend wedding

My husband walked down with the officiant.
So sorry they’re missing out on this major milestone in your life.

Hi Alex Congratulations to you both and welcome to the wedding wire family. I'm sorry that this is happening to you and that family just won't learn to move past or try to work thi as out. I'm in the same boat I have 2 different issues 1 is my mom is just now telling that she may not be to come to my wedding because she say her doctor may not let her. But I told what ever she may need to tell me or your doctor so we can make accommodations for her. Mind you that I am her first born and first time getting married but then she tells me that now my sister is not getting married anymore. Oh yeah she was planning her wedding 3 mos after me so since her plans and relationship crashed that she came up with this story. I dont know if it's true or not bc mos the weeks telling on how she can't to come. The other I won't mention bc this is your forum and ask for advice. I will say is you have to move on with your life and that I know that it would have meant a great deal. But since you have made attempts to reach out and try to work things out they are just not willing to.Meet you half way have the most amazing day for you and your FW. And be happy I wish to that my family would be there especially our mothers my children will be there but its not the same seeing those faces as you look on. Will her parents be there if so walk her mother down to her seat she will be your mother in law soon to be. But its bitter sweet indeed I hope that about your big day comes that they will have changed there minds

Oh man family drama stinks and I m sorry you are dealing with that right now. As for who can walk you down the aisle it can really be anyone you'd like. It can be a god mother/father, a sibling, a family friend, a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, you can do it yourself or even walk down together, or you can be already standing at the altar (sometimes the groom will just come in through the side of the altar with the best man)really anything your heart desires. Best of luck to you!

Really anyone you want! Do you have siblings or grandparents you’re close with? Or you could walk with the officiant or your fiancées mother.

Hi Alex. I'm sorry you are having family troubles. Weddings bring out issues from those closest. As for entrance ideas, you can enter from the side, and already be at the altar. My now husband and his 1 groomsmen did this. I wish I had actually walked in with my husband behind our officiant (priest) ala old school Catholicism. I kid him it's not like I was taking a victor's walk claiming my prize. He says he is the prize. But, really, you can do whatever you like. One bride met her husband half way and they walked together to the officiant even. Please do continue to surround yourself with love and make choices that work for you.

Any close cousin or friend can certainly walk you down. Enjoy your day! However you decide it to be will be just perfect. Whoever doesn't like it, can kick rocks, lol. I'm sorry your parents are having a difficult time and won't be there to support you. Just maybe another opportunity will come for you all to reconcile. Enjoy your day!

My fiance and I are walking down the aisle together.

There’s a lot of no traditional things you can do. Having an aunt and uncle walk you down the isle or a close friend. I attended a wedding where I was the best man to the groom and I was the only one there for him. He was super sad that no one came to celebrate with him but he walked down the isle alone and everyone supported him and uplifted him after the wedding.

I've seen in a few weddings where the couple walked down the aisle together. I thought it was great.
