Would it be ok for the best man to walk me down the aisle?

Nalani, on June 17, 2012 at 11:27 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

My dadhas told 5 family members hes not coming to my wedding, but he told me he is, the best man is like a brother to me and hes at my house right now and saw me crushed and said he would be honored to walk "someone as awesomely beautiful" as me down the aisle. But then my MOH would walk alone assuming shes right in front of me right?

The other thing is my sister stepped down from being a BM because she didnt feel comfortable in the dress (shes overweight). I wanna ask her to walk me but I dont want her to feel pressured to have eyes on her when I know she feels self conscious when shes dressed up.

Oh and I get married in 13 days and dont have a veil. Ahhhh!!!!

    You can have whomever you feel most comfortable with walk you down the aisle. I'm not sure your relationship with your Mom but that could be an option also. The last wedding I went to all the guys were up at the alter first so all the girls walked alone on the way up and you'd be walking with your hubby on the way back so everyone would pair up fine.

    My mom said no because she didnt walk my sister when she got married and she doesnt want her to be hurt by it which I understand. I also thought about having the girls walk by themselves and having FH meet me half way down the aisle and walking the rest of the way.

    I think that's a beautiful idea, especially since he feels like a brother to you. I would ask him. However, be prepared for an awkward situation if your father does show up.

    Bloved, my father hasnt been there for me since I was 8 and I never told him he was walking me dow the aisle I honestly dont think he knew he was he assumed he wasnt from what I have been told he expected my brother to walk me but my brother didnt feel comfortable doing it (hes 12) so if he does show up we can change who walks me at the lat minute or just let him sit there and be like damn maybe I shoulda been there when she graduated high school, or called her on her birthday more and I would be walking her.

    Oh! Then in that case, BM should have the honor. My father walked out on me when I was very young. He is communicating with my sister, who I am quite sure told him I am getting married (I sure as hell didn't tell him) I am having my nephews walk me down the aisle.

    My sister asked if I was going to invite him. i told her he will receive an invitation (as a courtesey) but he is a guest. There will be no father/daughter dance scheduled at the wedding and he will not be in any of my professional photos. I am sure he'll get in some guest shots, but that will definitely be it.
