Walking down the aisle

LaDale, on April 19, 2022 at 4:05 AM Posted in Planning 15 12

My dad passed away so I decided to have my son walk me down, but my brother has a problem with it because he thinks he should. Don't want to seem mean, but my son is the next important man I would have walk me. What are your inputs?

    It is totally your choice. There are no rules. If you want your son to walk you, that will be beautiful.

    It's definitely your call. If I was in your position, I also would choose my son over my brother.

    ****% This. Your bro wanting to walk you down is great but... at the end of the day it's YOUR call.

    Many brides walk down with both parents, with a brother, an uncle with 1-2 son(s), with dad + step-dad, solo or with their groom!

    If you're concerned by your bro's feelings: you can walk with both him and your son. If you only want 1 person , choosing your son over your bro is nothing but logical.

    Just do what makes you comfortable and happy.

    It is completely your choice, like others have said! I walked alone, even though my dad came to my wedding (because my grandpa should have but couldn't make it, and I didn't want my dad to "replace" him) And guess what? Nobody cared at all. My dad asked if he was walking me and I told him no, and he RESPECTED my choice, as should anyone that truly loves you.

    It makes sense for your son to walk you down the aisle. You are the bride you have the right to decide who should walk you. Another option is that they both walk you down the aisle- they both could walk you halfway or both could walk you on both arms. or your son could walk you down the aisle and your brother could give you away when the preacher ask who gives this bride away.

    It’s totally up to you! Everyone gets to choose what makes them comfortable. I’m walking myself because I get to make that choice. If I were you I also would want my son to walk me

    Totally your call! No time like the present to start the "my wedding, my choices" mantra, because people will have all kinds of opinions, but at the end of the day, what you and your fiancé want is what goes.

    If that's who you want to walk you down the aisle then that's all that needs to be said. Why is your brother getting upset for acting like a child. But if you want they both could but that's special too that you want your son too give you to other man in your life. My sons are walking me I have 3 they will walk me to the next son and so forth. Other than that it would have been my uncle because he is the closes to a father. But we are having some issues right now. But you will have a special day whomever you decide to walk you down the aisle. Good luck

    You can ask whoever you like to walk down the aisle with you Smiley smile. Has your brother said why he thinks it should be him instead of your son? Is there another job you could give him?

    It is completely your call. Just remember this might be your brothers imperfect way of trying to tell you he loves you and feels responsible for you. Maybe there is some other way he can be incorporated?
