Planning Wedding/honeymoon/i want my 14 year old daughter to walk down the aisle with me and my father.

That sound darling and special I don't see nothing wrong with your daughter to walk you down the aisle with your father's. Will be a beautiful moment. Now you need to talk about a budget the cost so you can start your wedding and clarify. Then start shopping for your venue feel them out the choose your wedding party for the both of you. What kind dress you want to wear and for your bridesmaids and his groomsmen.Now your dress apart of your budget then decor for your venue et. Food drinks music flowers dates marriage counseling photographers and officiants that are going to marry you guys. Happy wedding planning

I am on the same page as you where I’d much rather spend on the honey moon! Think the best way to keep a traditional wedding & not having ur so expensive (so hard because so many wedding things are expensive🙃) is by keeping the guest list at a minimum and maybe renting or buying silk flowers for decoration. I think that’s totally sweet that you want to involve your daughter! It would make her feel very special and I don’t think you would lose anything in doing that so why not?

It is always a special moment to have your kids (bio or not) a part of your wedding. A wedding is about making families one. If you want your daughter to be there with you walking down the aisle then plan for it, this is your day. Making your guest list will determine your budget as well. So like Leslie said keeping your guest count to a minimum will help keep costs low.

Let's take the points one at a time:

"traditional wedding, but not so expensive" - if you have your wedding at an off-meal time (generally mid afternoon), you can have what is called a "cake and punch" reception, where instead of a full meal you have light snacks, dessert, and beverages (alcoholic or non)

"14 year old daughter walk down the aisle with me and my father and give me away" - that's a beautiful idea and I think she (and you) will cherish that moment and those memories

"my mother feels" - no. Full stop no. Your mom has a right to her feelings and opinions, but does not get to tell you how things like this are going. If she says something again, tell her the decision has been made, you aren't discussing it anymore, and change the subject.

I think having your daughter walk you down the aisle is a wonderful idea. My 17 year old son is walking me down the aisle and will then go up to be a groomsman after he drops me off. He’s not thrilled but he’s doing it and it will be great.
