I was thinking of having my 12yo son give me away since my dad has already had that honor. Or maybe just skipping that "giving away" part all together and just have him escort me down the aisle. He is actually going to be my only attendant as well (no bridesmaids, etc.). Any thoughts? I really didn't want a wedding (I prefered to elope) but my fiance has never been married and wants the wedding. I even tried to go with a knee-length gown but he shot that down, lol. My son is very close to my fiance and has been referring to him as his step-dad for awhile (even before we got engaged, lol).
Re: Son giving me away?
The running joke around here is that my BF's husband should give me away because he'll finally get his wife back! (She thinks she's my wedding coordinator.)
My daughter who will be 19 is going to walk me down the aisle. I don't look at is as giving me away, I look at it as we are a package deal...lol.
[QUOTE]People are getting too hung up on the "giving away". My children, a son and a daughter, are 18 and 19 and are "escorting" me down the asile. I see it as my children showing they agree with my choice. But really it's your day, whatever you want to do is right for you, nobody else's opinion matters.

<div>My thoughts exactly. My FI's children and grandchildren will all walk ahead of him, following by his best man [his brother, was to have been FI's son, but he died unexpectedly in February], then FI.</div><div>
</div><div>My daughter [13] is my Maid of Honor. She will walk first, then me - escorted by my son [age 11].</div><div>
</div><div>We will all gather at the altar and when our celebrant says "who gives this man and woman to be married" our children and grandchildren will say "we do". We all planned this together.</div>

We are having a very small ceremony on the beach and our three children will be our attendants (as well as part of the vows).
It's only 12 days away now. I can hardly believe it (and still have so much to do!)
My son is giving me away. Of course my father passed away 30 years ago, so that helps in that delimna. We gave him the option of giving me away or being best man. He is 23. I knew if he wanted the best man job I would have my brother do the honors. My son is absolutely thrilled to take on the task!
