Who is walking you down the aisle? and why?

We're both not religious so we don't have to follow any tradition, but I have no idea about this. I have some mixed feelings about my dad doing it (there's a lot of background here), and I'd feel bad if my mom did it but not my dad. I was thinking walking with FH or alone because FH have been together and I've been away from my parents for 6 years, but then my dad would be so disappointed. It just doesn't make sense for my parents to be involved in that kinds of thing. So I'm over and don't even want to walk down the aisle right now.

I am having my two sons walk me. My dad walked me down the isle for my first wedding. My life and ideals and beliefs have changed since then. We are close and I love him. He hates being the center of attention so he didnt mind. No one is giving me away. But my kids and I have struggled and made it on our own for 6 years, so I feel like they are supporting me in my new life by walking with me.

I am going to ask my brother & my dad to walk me down the isle together. My FH and I have been together 12 yrs and that’s honestly the longest period of time my dad has actively been in my life. I’m 40. My brother has been the constant man in my life my whole life so that’s what makes sense to me. I’m sure my dads feelings will be hurt a bit but he’ll have to get over it.

I'm walking with my dad. We are close and I never questioned it because it's what I always pictured. He had a quadruple bypass last December so I'm thankful he's recovered so well and will be able to be there.

My dad passed away when I was young. So my adult son is walking me down. The joke is he can’t wait to give me away. Lol. Not really

Hi edecker. I was originally going to walk down the aisle by myself. My father is in his 90s and unable. I feel I don't really need anyone to give me away. But I did have a very dear and old friend ask if he could. Not to give me away but to be by my side to show his support. I loved the idea and said yes! So I think that your wedding, your way.

My Dad will walk me down the first half and my then 13 year old son will walk to the 2nd half.

I walked alone. I'm 27 and have lived on my own since I was 17. We also didn't have a wedding party, so without a traditional processional, I wanted yo keep it all about me and my husband.

My dad. I thought about having both of my parents, because I am so close to both of them, but I feel like this is really special for my dad, and my mom has been there for a lot of things he hasn't. This is HIS moment

Me. Social anxiety and all. FH loves the idea of walking together so possibly we will do that.

I walked with my dad. I liked the traditional nature of it, and I'm VERY close with my father, so walking down without him would seem wrong to me.

In the Indian ceremony though, my uncle walked me! It can't be my dad, we was sitting under the Mandap (sp?) with my husband's parents.

My Dad will walk with me. There will be no ‘giving away’ language spoken. But I know it’s important to him, and we’re close so I don’t mind.

My oldest cousin is walking me down the aisle as my mother is deceased and I have no relationship with my father. I have 2 brothers but I've lived longer without them than with them as I moved out at 17. I'm much closer to my cousin and he is more like my brother than my cousin. When I asked him if he would be my escort he bawled his eyes out!

I am walking myself down the aisle. I have had my differences with my dad throughout the years and while I am still close to him, he isn't exactly the most supportive (calls me fat, tells me I won't ever be successful). I wanted my grandpa to walk me down the aisle but I know how much that would hurt my dad and he would end up causing a scene. So I will be walking myself down the aisle. I have finally come to terms with it.

My dad. It's not about him giving me away (though we will include that as tradition) as much as it is him, being the most important and special man in my life for so many years, being by my side and sharing in my joy as I walk down the aisle and give myself to the love of my life.

Both my parents are going to walk me down. They are divorced and my mom raised my sister and I. I would feel wrong not to include her.

I stuck with the tradition and walked with my dad.

My dad and only my dad will be walking me down the isle!!

I plan on having both my parents do it.

My mom is!! For as far back as I can remember having thought about it, I wanted to walk by myself, but when the thought occurred to me not long after getting engaged, I almost cried because I loved the idea of my mom walking me so much
