Walking down the aisle

kcfan1329

I'm stuck on what to do. My dad suffered a stroke which confined him to a wheelchair when I was in elementary school. One of the traditions of weddings that I was worried about was that I could never have my dad walk me down the aisle. My mom mentioned to me the other day when I asked her if it would be best to have my brother included as a groomsmen. She said that it would be a good idea because my dad can't walk me down the aisle. I still can't get over my dad not being able to walk me down the aisle. I'm not against my brother walking me down the aisle but is there any way I could still have both of them with me when I walk down the aisle?

Being in a wheelchair shouldn't stop him from going down the aisle with you. Why not just have your brother push him down while you walk beside your father?

Ditto PP. This sounds like a great solution to the problem.

I would think he'd also be very disappointed to not accompany you down the aisle. Most dads look forward this special time in their daughter's lives too.

Ditto PP. Have your brother or someone push him and hold his hand down the aisle.

Could your mom push your dad's chiar?  I had both of my parents walk with me and it was very nice and Imy mom was really happy to be there with me, too.

This is my favorite idea.

What PPs have said, have brother or mother push him, and hold his hand as you walk down the aisle.

I agree with PP's, have your mom or brother push him in the wheelchair while you hold his hand. Or, walk solo and have your Dad waiting at the end of the aisle to give you away. Wheelchairs are simply another method of mobility, not a hinderance.

Walk down the aisle yourself until you get to the end and have your Dad waiting there for you to give you away. Or, you can have your Mom or Brother walk you up and meet Dad at the end.
Good Luck!

Or, if his chair is electric, he could motor himself down the aisle beside you.  Good luck!
