Who Will Walk You Down The Aisle?

My dad will to keep with tradition and to give me away

View Quoted Comment That will be beautiful.

My Dad will walk with me but we are not doing the “who gives this woman...” thing.

I’m walking by myself

View Quoted Comment Why are you not doing that part?

View Quoted Comment I also walked myself down the aisle.

View Quoted Comment Because it’s absurdly out dated and sexist.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for sharing.

View Quoted Comment 💯 totally agree.

I'm debating between walking myself with my dad standing at his seat by the alter for a hug, or having him escort me. Sadly, I'm worried more about what others may assume and say that's hurtful to my dad if I walk myself than I am about my own desires. I'd prefer to walk alone.

Will not be doing anything related to the giving away thing.

View Quoted Comment It's your big day so whatever you decide will be perfect.

My momma, because shes my one and only parent. Shes super pumped for it

My son, hopefully, but he gets persnickety sometimes. So it may just be me.

View Quoted Comment That sounds so special ❤️

View Quoted Comment Aww, how sweet. How old is your son?

View Quoted Comment Truthfully I’d rather walk alone too, but I can’t take this away from my Dad. He is SO excited.

View Quoted Comment Maybe if you speak to your dad and tell him how important it is for you to walk yourself down the aisle he'll understand. Or maybe you can compromise and have him walk you halfway or something.

I walked myself down.
I guess I just kind of wanted the attention to myself and I felt the old tradition was so patriarchal and just in general I wanted to be able to give myself away

View Quoted Comment I also walked myself down the aisle and it was beautiful.

View Quoted Comment No. It’s important to him, and I don’t feel strongly enough about it to take it away. I’d rather walk myself, but it’s more important to him to walk me than it is important to me to walk myself.

First marriage, both my parents escorted me, and both of the groom's parents escorted him. (That is the Jewish tradition.)

Second marriage, my bride and I walked together.
