Walking down the aisle solo?

PetiteBride1

I am really considering it but  everyone keeps saying I will regret it!  Even if I did have my dad walk me down the aisle, I'm not being "given away"...i.e., the pastor isn't saying, "who gives...blah blah blah..."  Instead he might say something along the lines of my parents giving their blessing of our marriage...

Anyone considering or (actually) walk down the aisle alone?  How did you feel before and afterwards?

While I ddn't take the trip alone, I know how you feel about the "give away".  My mother didn't want me "given" away.  She asked that I be presented and I agreed.  Worked out well, since my brother escorted me and I actually stopped waking at one point.  He had to remind me to keep going. LOL

I am walking myself down the aisle for a variety of reasons some sad. Its been a back and forth journey over this cause I am really traditional but I am fianlly making peace with my decision.

I'm walking down the aisle solo (my dad passed and my uncle that I wanted to walk me down in place of my dad just passed). Unless one of my brothers makes a "big" deal about it and wants to walk me down...which I doubt they will...

I am walking myself down the aisle for various reasons.

I'm going solo by choice.  I am a "mature" bride.  This is a second marriage for both of us.  I was already "given away" once.  My dad will be a guest like everyone else.   I just decided that this was what I wanted to do.

I haven't decided yet.  My dad and I have a tumultuous relationship and we will see as it gets closer to our date.

My parents have chosen not to attend the wedding so I am going to ask my best friend's brother (who is also like a big brother to me). If he is unable to do it I will walk alone.

Honestly I do not want to walk alone because in case my knees get weak I'd like to have someone to hlep me out. But if I have to walk alone it will not ruin my day. I agree that if it is your second marriage there is no need to be given away again.

My father wants to walk me down the aisle but I'm not too sure how I feel about that.  I might have my father walk me halfway and my mother walk me te rest of the way....or I might just walk solo.

Im walking solo and it doesnt bother me at all! I dont want to be given away either lol! But for the most part me and my dad aren't very close and with him having his 3rd child on the way I know he most likely wont be in attendance either! But with or without your day its your day and you will still get married!

My father is deceased. My mother will have the sole privllage of escorting me down the aisle and presenting me to my future husband.
