Who to give you away

I feel your pain. My husband and I got married 8/17/2019. I decided to have both fathers walk me in. The idea felt odd at first but everyone was happy. It made me happy because it wasn't any drama or feelings being hurt. I hope this helps.

View Quoted Comment Yes it does I think I’ll have them both walk me down and when he ask who gives her away they can say we both do and her mother

My cousins and I are very close to our grandfather, much more so than either of our fathers. When she got married several years ago she choose to have our grandfather walk her half way down the aisle and then her father took over and walked her down the rest of the way. It was unique and incorporated both of them.
I on the other hand would not feel right to have my father walk me down the aisle at all because that just isn’t the kind of father he is, but I also wouldn’t intentionally hurt him by having my grandfather do it. So I will not have anyone “give me away” or walk me down the aisle. I’ll walk by myself and I’m cool with this. I’m 43 (44 when we get married) so I’ve been independent and on my own for quite some time. I feel this is the most like me and I don’t run the risk of hurting anyone’s feelings.
Good luck to you!

I’m also in my 40s (well, just 40 lol) and am thinking of what to do. Mother may get upset if Father walks me down. Sister had them both. I’m thinking solo for first 1/2 (pictures) and Father for second 1/2. Love the idea of Mother saying she gives me away also, maybe I’ll have her standing up front for that part, thanks for the idea!
