Who will give her away

Brittany, on June 30, 2019 at 4:48 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 5
So I know typically the brides father walks her down the aisle-but what if that relationship is a little strained?
My father has been in and out if my life for the last 10 years, and as of now, has not even met my fiance (we've been together for almost 7 years). On the flip side, I have a wonderful stepfather that has been in my life since I was 6, and has treated me like his own daughter from day one. He does not have any children of his own, so I think he would be honored to walk me down the aisle. Would it be weird to have both?

    I would only have my stepfather walk the bride down. If the biological father hasn't met the fiance and isn't really in her life then I wouldn't include him simply because it's her biological father.

    I walked by myself ahah purely because I just didn't care for anyone to give me away. So maybe that could also be an option for you

    I’d skip the part timer dad and just have your stepfather walk with you.

    My momma will be giving me away. My “father” was/is never around, doesn’t check in, never paid/pays support, alcoholic, drug addict, etc. It was an easy decision to have my mom, who played both roles all by herself, give me away!

    As of now, I plan on walking myself down. My father, as far as I know, will be in attendance, but will not be walking me down, or making any entrance from what I’ve been told. If it was completely up to me, I wouldn’t even invite him. I would LOVE for my FIL & step FIL to walk me down as I have an amazing relationship with both and they are like actual fathers to me, but to avoid any drama, I am just walking myself down. If my mom has no one to walk down with, then I may ask her to walk me.
