Walking down the aisle

Here's the picture, I forgot to add it to my post. Oops.. First time poster lol

I love it! The puzzle is super cute ❤️ & your mom is definitely the right choice! If you don’t want to walk alone or with FH, I think you should walk with a parent/family member with whom you have the most meaningful bond & who has been there during your upbringing & throughout your life. It should not be based solely on gender.

I'm so happy for you!

I am so sorry for your loss. That is definitely a tough situation.
My dad passed away unexpectedly in 2017, so im somewhat in the same boat as you.
I ended up asking my older brother to walk me down the aisle and he happily said yes.
I plan on asking my mom to do a dance with me.
Im unsure what to do for the father daughter dance still

I love it!! I'm having my mom walk me too. My father passed away when I was 11, as an adult I always was ok with and wanted to walk by myself. But a month or two after being engaged the thought to have my mom walk me for that same reason dawned on me and I just started crying. I still get emotional over it, like I just love my mom so much, and she deserves to be the one to walk me having had to play both parental roles for me

View Quoted Comment I love the idea of dancing with your mom! That sounds so special. I am not much of a dancer so I think I can easily leave that part out for me. Lol

View Quoted Comment Exactly! =) I love my mom. She has always been there for me no matter what. This is defiantly the best decision. Not sure what took me so long to make it.

Same! If I could have smacked myself upside the head for not thinking of it sooner I would have 😂😂😂

Good for you and i love the puzzle. I would have loved my mom to walk me down the aisle but she's with your dad😨 so I'm having my son and my nephew do it..9 and 8 years old. I'm so excited!!!

My father died as a teenager. It weighed on me for a while that he can’t give me away at my wedding. I had my younger brother walk me down and give me away at the altar. I am glad I decided to do that instead of walk alone. We did not do any officially family dances though (groom and his mom, etc.) because it was too upsetting.

Having your mom walk you down is so sweet!

That is soooooo sweet. She is gonna love this and she would say yes

My father died also so I asked my oldest son to walk me down

Awww this is so sweet! It will be such a special moment when she figures it out!❤
Congratulations!
Give us the update

I think that puzzle is terrific - she is going to love it! Be sure to post her reaction! It's beautiful that you're asking your mom to walk you down the aisle - it doesn't have to be a man. I recently asked my grams to walk me and she was so happy, but I didn't think to do something as sweet as your puzzle!

This is so sweet. My father passed when I was 3. I always said my mom would walk me my entire life so it wasn’t a question I needed to ask but now I wish I did. Such a nice memory for your mom to hold onto.

That’s amazing! It’s sometimes hard to turn away from “traditions” and realize that this is you and your partner’s day and you two can do what makes you feel happy. My father passed away recently and I’m devastated he won’t be able to walk me down the aisle. I’ve asked my brother (in law) to walk me down. He has been a blessing to our family. He’s been with my sister for over 20 years and I call him brother not in law lol. This man has literally watched me grow up. Since dad passed he has absolutely stepped right in as the patriarch of our family. He takes good care of my mom since it was something he promised my dad he would do. I love him beyond words and him walking me down isn’t my dad but it’s very close to being as special. My sister ruined the secret so I wasn’t able to surprise him lol but when he found out he was shocked and so honored that I would ask him. He’s told me he will be boo hooing haha. I’m so happy you were able to figure something out. Not having a dad that you were close with be there for your special day is tough. It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. My loss is very recent but I’m sure the pain will be just as hard years from now. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Sooo sorry for the long comment hahaha

I love it !! Such a great idea!

This is so cute! I love it and she will be honored. My dad is walking me down the aisle. My father has always been a bit absent due to work and I haven’t lived in the same state as him for nearly a decade. My grandfather was a very important paternal role in my life, but I won’t have him at my wedding which is something I always thought I’d have. In his place, I’ll be surprising my uncle with a dance at our reception because he has stepped up and done so much for me before and after my grandpa (his dad) passed.

My “dad” chose to not be in my life when I was very young. His parents (my grandparents) stuck around but I’m also having my mom walk me down the aisle because she’s also been there for me and supportive of my relationship with my FH.

My dad dies when I was 5 too. I wanted my grandfather to do it but he passed away a few years back. My next thought was my uncle but he can be unreliable. So I'm having my oldest son walk me down the isle. I was hesitant at first but now I think it's a perfect idea. I haven't asked yet but I'm pretty sure he'll say yes. I thought about asking my mom for a very, very brief second but we're not close, for a lot of different reasons. I think it's awesome that you're asking your mom though
