Walking down the aisle alone?

I am in the same boat as you. Still stuck on what to do for that and the father-daughter dance.

My friend was in this same predicament. She had her mom walk her down the aisle.

I have a somewhat similar situation. My dad wasn't the greatest, we do not have any type of close relationship, I'd be surprised if he knew 5 things about me. But I also have my stepdad who's been in my life since I was 8, (I'm now 23). He has been more of a father to me than my own. I truly would rather have my stepdad walk me down and give me away, but then I'm left with the awkward part of my dad. I think about it everyday :/

Kind of the same situation here. I'm having my older brother walk me down the aisle. My biological father, the man that helped my mom raise me and my current step-dad are all invited, but they are not being recognized at the wedding for anything or at any moment. If for whatever reason my brother cannot walk me down the aisle, then my mom will...she's really the only person that has the right to give me away. I thought long and hard about my decision and realized that it's my day!

There is nothing wrong with walking down alone. Or with your FI. Or with your mother. It all depends on what you'd be most comfortable doing.

I'm not close to my father or my step-father so I have my mom and God-mom walking me down. No father/daughter dance for me.

You can have your dad walk you half way and your mom walk you the rest of the way or vice versa

I would suggest having the person you feel closest to walk you down; give you away. That is what the moment is all about! Do what feels RIGHT, not what is expected or traditional. Your day, your memory! Best wishes!!

I did! It was totally fine.

My best friend walked down the isle by herself and it didn't look weird at all. Her dad was never in the picture and she felt weird walking down with her mom. So her mom walked down with a close friend of hers and my friend walked by herself. She looked absolutely stunning!

I am a fan of having someone close to you walk you down the aisle rather than walk alone. It is a very special and emotional moment and it might feel more comforting having someone there for support. My mom is walking me down the aisle.

I've been to several weddings where the bride walked by herself and the parents were seated by ushers during the processional. I really really liked it that way. It puts more focus on the bride and I think it's less awkward.

I wanted to walk down the aisle by myself, but my dad didn't like that idea lol

But still, I think the bride walking alone is a pretty normal thing these days.

I'll be walking alone. My father passed away when I was a teenager. While I'm very close to my mom, we were no close when I was growing up and I just don't feel like I'm hers to give away. I don't think there's anything weird about it at all.

I think walking alone would be fine. If you really want to walk with your mom, I would do it and not worry about it. Its your wedding.

-Michelle I am in the same spot as you. My step dad has done everything for me since I was 10. So I actually am having them both walk down with me and I am doing 2 totally separate songs.

Sure you can! Lots of my brides do!

I am a second time bride. The first time I had my mom walk me down the aisle. It wasn't really an aisle we eloped and were married in a park.

This time my mom and brother will walk down together, my son will walk me down the aisle.

I walked alone -- no big deal.

My sisters had both walk them down the aisle ... For the same reason of being raised by mom but dad wasn't always around ... I how ever at this time will be walking myself down the aisle

There's nothing saying you HAVE to have your dad "give you away" or dance with you or anything. If it makes you more comfortable to walk down alone, by all means do so!

That's my plan. My original plan was to have my kids walk me down the aisle, but do to events I won't go into here, that won't be happening. My step dad raised me, but we have a weird relationship (he was horribly abusive growing up, but apparently had an epiphany after open heart surgery a few years ago and is trying to be dad of the year now that I'm in my 40's).

FH and I had considered walking down the aisle together, but he felt weird doing that. So...alone it is. In your case, could both of your parents walk you?
