Who Will Walk You Down The Aisle?

I have decided to ask my oldest daughter to walk me down the aisle. My Father passed away 4years ago.

How did you come to that decision?

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you and your daughter will look beautiful.

View Quoted Comment My father isn’t in my life. My brother is the only person left in my immediate family. My mother passed away when I was young.

View Quoted Comment I'm sorry for your loss. I completely understand your decision.

I haven't figured this out yet but I have plenty of time haha. Depending on different factors and details (planning a two bride wedding provides a lot of freedom but almost too much ) it's either going to be:

a) My two older brothers

or

b) Both my mom and dad

Either way, I want to be the one who goes first so I can watch my fiancee walk down the aisle toward me with her mom

View Quoted Comment I love the idea of having mom and dad walk you down the aisle.

Awww I love the idea of a family dance. That will make for adorable photographs!! My 14 year old son asked if he was going to be the ring bearer— I laughed and said, “how does Man of Honour sound?” He’s just happy he gets to hold onto a ring.

Aww thank you. My mum passed just last year so this hasn’t been easy.

I’m Irish and we’re going to include them in the hand fasting ceremony. So that we’re all bound together as one unified family.

View Quoted Comment Thank you!

View Quoted Comment That's so sweet! My 9 year old step son goes back and forth. He wants to be our escort. I'm not sure who's going to hold the rings because he can be a typical distracted 9 year old and I'm afraid he will set them down and forget where.

Haha. Boys aren’t much better at 14, so we’ll see how that goes.

View Quoted Comment I understand, my mom passed as well. Without my mom alive and my dad around I walked down the aisle myself.

View Quoted Comment You're very welcome 😊

My oldest son is walking me down the aisle. My children are 19 and 16. They are the ones who need to "give me away" and share me with my fiance.

View Quoted Comment That's beautiful.

My adult son. I was married before and my father walked me down the aisle then. But I do not need to be "given away". My son is the only other person who knows me as well as my future wife and he will stand by me as my best man when we get to the altar. She will be doing the same with her son.

OMG that is so sweet.

If you want to honor your dad but don't want to make it feel like he is "giving you away" I really love the idea of having him stand for a hug. Or, depending on how your wedding venue is set up you could walk yourself in and have him meet you half way to escort you the rest of the way. But if you just want to do your own thing, DO IT! It's not everyone else's day and I'm sure your dad will be happy just to see you happy.

Grams ❤️ My parents aren’t invited to my wedding (not dealing with the drama) and I lived with my grams for a long time and she is the only one who has been more like a parent to me than anyone else. She’s the best lady I know.
