Walking down the aisle with together... what's your thought?

I think if you are set on it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks and it should be fine, I personally want to watch my FH face as I walk down the aisle.

It's your wedding, make it unique to you. Just because tradition is one way, doesn't mean you can't do it the way you like.

I went to a friend's wedding two years ago and her and husband walked down the aisle with their parents in tow. He walked with his parents, then she walked in with both of hers. I thought it was cute and different.

I think that it's your wedding and you should do whatever makes you happy. It shouldn't matter what others think. I personally think its a really cute idea. No matter what you do, there's always going to be somebody who has a different opinion who is more than willing to share, whether you want to hear it or not.

I see nothing wrong with it at all. It is what you and FH want, that's the perfect reason to do it! As far as what would go through my head if I was at a wedding and seen it, I would think "wow that's great that they did what they wanted instead of what everyone else expects them to do"

Thanks Ladies, we are set on it. I was just curious to see what everyone esle think of this since none of the people who knows that we're doing it had anything nice to say

You right Robin, that's all that matters, all the rest is for fun and show, lol

It sounds like this is something you really want to do, so go for it! If I were at a wedding and the couple came down the aisle together I would think that was so cute, not a negative thought in my mind. However, I am looking forward to seeing my FH's face when he sees me walking down the aisle.

It's your wedding... you should do whatever seems right to you. My best friend has lost both of her parents, so she is being given away by her sister. That's just what seemed best for her situation. But, if she would have wanted to walk down the aisle with her FH, I'd say more power to her.

Don't listen to the criticism-- you're making a non-traditional choice, but you have every right to do so.

As long as you two sign the paper at the end of it all, you're set-- everything else is just for fun and for show, lol

WW's a mess, don't know how my comment got way up there...lol, I hope this was doesn't go up too, lol

@Cavan, I will still see the look on his face though, cause we each plan on coming from one end of the venue where we will be looking at each other and walking towards each other, then meet at the beginning of the aisle to start walking together. Not set yet, but that's how we're thinking of doing it

Awww... That sounds so sweet. I love the idea of the two of you coming from opposite sides to meet in the middle to walk together. I think your idea is fabulous!

@Honeymoon, that's a good idea!! Then you get the best of both worlds, as they say...

If we allowed everything that people said dictate our lives we would be miserable. Have fun..... Some may have an unforgettable experience with it..... Do it atleast you'll be a trendsetter. I admire those who go against the grain, not with the flow...... Dare to be different.

Do what you want gal! In Hindu marriages we have something equivalent called Kanyadan - where the dad "gives" away his daughter to the groom and family. It's basically the same as walking down the aisle with different movements.

To most, this event is traditional and sentimental. To me, it means I'm property that is being handed over and I value myself highly as an individual, not an object - so we're not doing it.

So..... POWER TO YOU on your walk down the aisle. If you feel the tradition isn't for you, go with your instincts. You and your FH will be all the happier.

@NJ Bride - what a cute idea! I love that you both are meeting halfway. It signifies a strong partnership!

I think it's cute. I don't like the idea of being given away either. My parents are going to bring me to the beginning of the aisle, give hugs and kisses, go sit, then the bridal music will start. Once that does, my FH and I will actually meet each other halfway down the aisle - he'll come from the front, I'll come from the back. So you're not the only one doing something a little less conventional.

Thanks ladies, love the halfway too NJ Bride, my friend did it at his wedding back in February

@IndianBride, I feel the same way on the property thing but I also see the sentimental part of it, it's just not for me.

@ Honeymoon my Fh suggested the same thing and I thought he was crazy lol, but its nice to see that someone else is doing it. I thought about his ideal but my dad would be hurt if he didnt walk me down the aisle. In your case I say go for it!!

If I wasn't so close to my dad, I would've done this. My dad walked me to the end of where everyone was, and my honey took over from there and lead me up to the officiant.

I think it's a wonderful idea and I'd be absolutely thrilled to see other people doing it.
