At this point, I’m planning to have our son walk with me, he’ll be six. I met my dad when I was 17 and we’ve never had much of a relationship, so that just doesn’t make sense to me. My mom hinted that she would like to walk with me when I told her I’d probably walk alone, but I feel like no one can feel snubbed if my son walks with me. He also wants to wear an inflatable t-Rex costume so hopefully we don’t trip 🤞🏻.
He’s technically my “step” dad but my biological father has never been in my life. I’ve only ever met him once and that was like 10 years ago!! But my dad has raised me since I was 3 months old, even though my mom and him split up when I was 3 years old. He was always there even when he didn’t have to. ❤️
So he’s definitely the one who gets to walk me down the aisle!
My mother is walking me. Single parent household. We also are skipping the "who gives this bride away" sexist BS. Someone else being walked by her mother phrased it perfectly for me: "my mom is walking me down the aisle as she has always walked beside me in this mess called life." I loved it so much I asked her to steal it lol. Already knew I wanted my mom to walk me since I was a teen but the phrase was so cute.
Both my mom and my dad are walking me down the aisle. They both played an important part in raising me equally as a partnership and I feel like it’s rude to my mom to not include her in that honor of “giving me away”
