I am very traditional therefore my father will be walking me down the aisle and giving me away. I am also his youngest and only daughter so we are very close.
Second wedding... I think I’ll be walking down on my own as both my parents have passed. I’ve thought about having my 14 year old son walk down with me, but something about that feels a little awkward. We’re going to have a special part of the ceremony for our kids.
My dad. I was married before and it's a long story but he wasn't there. I'm his only daughter and I have always imagined him walking me down the aisle. Our wedding is not super traditional, however, this is one thing that I am keeping.

My partner has twin 9 year olds. My step-daughter wants to be the head flower girl lol. We let them both choose their outfits. She chose the flower girl dresses and my step son chose his suit. We plan on doing a unity ceremony with them as well. We are going back and forth on foregoing the traditional first dance to do a first dance as a family (officially) instead.
My dad passed away back in 2017, so my brother walked me down the aisle. Nothing was said about me being "given away," and bro just hugged me, shook DH's hand when he got to us, and stepped back. At the rehearsal he was taught how to put my hand in DH's, but I'll be completely honest--I don't remember if he did it or not during the actual ceremony. The little things were a bit of a blur, lol.
