So my dad won't be walking me down the aisle now....

Sorry to hear about this. My bro walked me down the aisle cuz my dad has early stages of Alzheimer's and I just didn't want to deal with having him have troubles remembering anything.

My dad preferred a bond with my brother over me, even though I was the one that kept in touch with him the most after our parents split. Whatever. Anywho, I don't have to worry about asking him to walk me down the aisle or not - he was epileptic and tragically passed away in 2007 due to it. I was planning on just walking myself (I don't feel my older brother is "worthy" stepping in - we aren't close). That sounds bitchy, but really - asking someone to walk you down the aisle is kinda a big deal and an honor. My son, who is 9, asked to walk me down the aisle. He is talking his job VERY seriously and it will turn out perfect!

The topic of someone walking me down the aisle has been a sad topic for me since I was in jr. high. I'm glad my son is around to fill the void on the day of the wedding.

Thats sad and crappy of him to take it out kn you. My dad isn't even invited to my wedding. He hasnt been around much in about 11 years and has shown zero interest in my wedding, refused to "contribute" anything and my mom is helping alot and I refuse to let guests assume that he helped. So my grandfather is going to walk me as of now , hes 83 years old and very weak, so we are going to decide 20mins before. If not I may walk alone and have my fiance meet me half way.

My brothers are going to be walking me down the aisle.

I never met my biological dad and my stepdad (my brothers' dad) is an abusive jerk who has been out of our lives for years now.

Honey I'm sorry you're going through all this. What the fuck is wrong with people?? Stop being an asshole and LOVE YOUR FAMILY!!!!!

Lol, Lizz, you can surely brighten someone's day.

Thanks all, my dad is just grasping at the straws of what's left of his dignity. He's never been able to love unconditionally. He's still texting me as of yet and I've not replied for three days. Sometimes I feel sorry for him because I know he's alone and I'm afraid he'll do something stupid. But then he'll text again and totally screw it up again with his words. The last thing I said was that I expect an apology but that I'll have already forgiven him by then because that's what love really is. He shockingly said "I'm sorry but... "the next day, however I could tell it wasn't genuine as apologies aren't supposed to come with excuses. Thanks for the advice y'all, greatly appreciated to know I'm not alone in this situation.

Sorry to hear that. I have no contact with my dad so am instead having my 2 grandfathers walk me down.

I will have my Dad doing it. My mother passed when I was 11 (28 yrs yesterday actually) and dad is now fighting cancer. He is doing great though, if for some reason he can't I will ask my brothers.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. No one is giving me away. I am walking part way alone and FH will meet me and we walk the rest of the way together.
