Who Should Walk Me Down The Aisle?

I would look into other ways to honor your father and have the person (or people) you feel closest to walk you. Walking solo is always an option.

I was planning on walking by myself for the longest time, but I'm going to ask my FFIL to walk me down the aisle.

My dad passed away in 2014.

I definitely think your step-dad would be honored. He's definitely not replacing your dad in your heart but he has had a very important part of your life. I feel it would be hard to choose between 4 brothers. Have you considered having your mom give you away?

I'm in nearly the same boat as you and my mom is walking me down the aisle. I am hoping that for the processional, my musicians will be able to play an instrumental version of the last song I listened to with my father before he passed.

My father died when I was just a kid I am having my brother walk me down the aisle but we are very close still. Walking solo is always an option, I'm sure your step-father would be thrilled to walk you, your mom can walk you. Really anyone you feel deserves the honor and you are close.

My cousins father passed when when she was 14. She honored her father by having each of her guests hold a white rose while she walked down the aisle. She too carried a single white rose and she walked alone. However, she did not have a step father. You could walk with your step father AND do something like the white rose. So you can honor your fathers memory.

Your Mom could always walk you down as well.

I think asking your step-father to walk you down is really sweet and special. If you do decide on that, know that it's not you replacing your father in anyways, but rather a thank you to your father for giving you strength and guiding you along the way and a thank you to your step-father for stepping in and loving you as a father would.

You can also hook a charm with a picture of your dad to your bouquet that way both the men who helped raise you are walking with you

My father passed when I was 8 and my stepdad has been in my life since I was about 10. I'm very close to him, so I'm having him walk me down the aisle because he has always treated me like his own daughter. I felt like I was replacing my dad at first, but my stepdad I feel like has sort if "earned" the right to give me away, and I know my dad would approve. I hope that helps

My mom is walking me down. She has been my constant. The only other person i have ever considered was my grandfather and he has passed. It doesn't have to be a male. Who is important to you? Thats who it should be.

I understand how you feel.

I asked my mother to walk me down the aisle. I carried a photo charm of my father on my bouquet.

You shouldn't feel you're replacing your father. If you want your step dad to walk you down, then do it! I'm sure he'd be extremely honored! You could always get one of those charms that would go on your bouquet and put your dad's picture in it as a way to honor him.

Thank you for all of your ideas and advice! i really appreciate it all.

My 2 oldest sons 13 and 12 are walking me my dad died in 2003 and we are having a picture of my dad on a screen as I come down the aisle

My dad passed away 21 years ago, I'm having my step dad walk me down, whose been around for 19 years. I'm setting a candle and a picture of my dad at the end of the aisle, and I will light the candle as I start to walk down the aisle.

Your mother.

It's not required that you have a male relative escort you down the aisle.

My dad died in 2015, the day after I bought my wedding dress. My mom walked me down the aisle.

To honor him, I wore one of his favorite button downs while getting ready, had photos of him at the venue, and our recessional song was "our" song- Jessica by the Allman Brothers Band.

Thank you all, your thoughts and ideas have helped me so much!

My father passed in 2014. I was thinking his 2 brothers can give me away.
