Walking down the Aisle

laurnacole

My dad died when I was 9 and there have been so many influential people in my life since then...rather than choose between them I was planning to walk myself down the aisle.  My mom remairried 3 years ago.  She recently suggested I have my half brother (who I have only met once, but adore) to walk me down the aisle since he looks just like my dad and is a part of him.  So I thought I would be polite and run it past my step dad and he said he would be hurt if I asked my half brother so I ended up asking my step-dad to walk me down the aisle which is not what I wanted, but I didnt want to offend him or anyone else either...so now I feel like in order to make everyone else happy, I have to sacrafice what I want....I am almost to the point of not wanting a wedding, but rather eloping somewhere instead...

Perhaps you could have both walk you down the aisle.  If you really wanted your half-brother to walk you down the aisle and you already asked your step-dad, then a good solution would be to have both.  I had a friend who had her mother and her brother walk her down the aisle becuase her father died a long time ago.

You would rather elope than have your stepdad walk you down the aisle?

The idea of eloping was a little dramatic and out of pure exaustion of dealing with the issue.  I have come to terms with and and am just leaving things how they are.  Thanks for all of the great advice!!
