Is anybody walking down the aisle without their dad?

I'm 30 yrs old. I still have my dad in my life he's still married to my mom. I want to walk down the aisle by myself. My sister is giving me a hard time about it.

I never had a close relationship with him , he's never been affectionate towards us. I'm not doing this to hurt him or get back at him, I just feel more comfortable walking by myself.

Just curious if anybody is else is doing this even with their fathers in their lives.

Thanks chicas!

    I am walking alone for the same reason... we just aren't close like that!  No worries!! Tell your sister that she is welcome to walk down the aisle with him, but you're just more comfortable walking alone.  :)

    I walked down alone.  It was my second marriage and also my dad and I had some terrible disagreements before the wedding that, although we were fine by the wedding, made it impossible for me to walk down the aisle with him.

    Just do what you are comforable doing.

    I am having my brother walk me down the aisle...we have always been closer than my dad and I. My brother was "the man" of the house :)

    I dont think its weird at all

    i have no contact with my dad, so my brother is walking me down the aisle. i'm about to be 34 and this is my second wedding. you should do whatever you feel comfortable though. my mom hinted at her wanting to walk me down the aisle, which i don't feel comfortable with, so i just had to go with what i wanted.

    I am really considering walking down the aisle alone. My dad and I don't have the best reletionship. I'm considering walking down alone and letting my step dad or my brother join me before the alter but just not sure about that part.

    i had my mom walk me down the aisle- she has always been there by my side and raised me and my two other sibling's alone.

    I am having my mom walk me down the aisle and if my grandpa were still alive he would be even though my dad is alive we are not close at all.

    I'm glad I read this post!  My dad & I haven't spoken in a few years & I am having my brother walk me down the isle.  I thought it might seem strange to other people to have my brother do it, but this really helped.  Thank you so much!
