Walking down the aisle alone

A, on December 11, 2017 at 3:38 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 45

Hey ladies how would any of you brides feel about walking down the aisle alone ??...my father passed away when I was 8 years old and my mother would move with us a lot so I never got close to any of my uncle and aunt died in May so I asked my mother to walk me she's been indecisive of walking me because she says that she doesn't want to attend my wedding because she feels fat I didn't feel like arguing with her and telling her that she's wrong I did tell her that she's beautiful regardless and that being fat or skinny I still would want her to do it and that didn't change her mind I'm not going to beg so what are your thoughts ??

    I haven't decided yet, but I may walk myself. I think it's more than fine, it's a personal choice.

    Hmm good info you girls are right I honestly don't know much about weddings I've only been to two weddings my whole entire life and I've seen both brides walk with their dads that's why I wanted to ask

    I can walk alone, and might have to, if my father cannot make it to Wisconsin from Colorado. I really just want my father to be there for the wedding itself. The walking alone part, I can handle. You got this.. you will shine and do great no matter what!!

    I'm walking alone. I have the option of walking with a male relative but chose to do it myself. I was also considering having my mom walk me down the aisle but haven't decided yet.

    I'm going to walk alone. My relationship with my Dad has been strained the last year or so and I have been fully independent from my family for a long time. I don't need anyone to "give me away."

    My first thought is punctuation.

    My second thought is, you don't need anyone to walk you down the aisle, and I think it's super shitty of your mom to say she won't attend your wedding because she thinks she's fat.

    You can walk alone, or have any person of your choosing, male or female, walk with you, if you prefer that. It does not have to be a man.

    I'm walking alone. There is nothing wrong with walking alone and no one will look at you any differently if you choose to do so.

    I have my Papa walking me down the aisle. He was more of a father to me then my own was and he was honored to accept that role

    I always thought I would walk solo; but then all my sisters started asking who, who, who... I wasn't against having one of my brothers walk me; but I had a huge hang up about being 'given away'. In the end, I have one of my closest brothers walk me 1/2 way & he had his seat right there & then I walked the rest to my H : )

    ETA @NAS, I love that idea, too!

    @Nas i love that! i really wanted me and H to walk down together, because i found the idea of him waiting for me at the end of the aisle weird somehow. he wanted a more traditional processional. we compromised by having him walk in as part of the processional and me walking in with both my parents. which was also lovely. i think anything goes these days!

    I'm walking on my own. This will be my 2nd marriage . The 1st time my mom walked me down. This time around I'm older and I don't need to be "given" away. I'm my own woman.

    I'm either going to walk down on my own or with the FH. I don't really understand the whole "giving away" thing.

    That's a personal decision. Both of my parents have passed on but I have 2 brothers, one older, one younger & they are both walking me. My older brother is also officiating

    I'm still deciding on whether I will walk alone or

    not. It's nice to hear that it's become fairly common.

    My FW and I are walking together into the ceremony and down the aisle. I also had a friend wait at the front and her husband was the one who walked down the aisle.

    I lost my father 7 years ago and so I've asked my best male friend to walk me. It's the perfect way to incorporate him into my wedding, and my mom will stand up and say 'I do' when they ask who gives me away

    I'm walking alone! I'm actually excited to do it...I've walked through life all on my own and look forward to walking to FH that day just the same.
