Need Opinions:  Everyone is usually quick to give, so just curious what everyone thinks.This is a second wedding for my FI and I.  My father and mother, as well as his father will be in attendence.  FI mother passed away 3 years ago.I don't think it is a matter of who is "paying" for the wedding or not (we are) but I've already been "given away" by my father at my first wedding.  I plan on walking the aisle alone this time and not be "given away" by my father & mother.The wedding is small, very casual, and we are NOT doing all the formal things a first wedding has.Do you think this is appropriate?Thanks!

    Personally, I think that whatever YOU want is appropriate.

    Agree with pp. The only issue I can see is if your dad wants to walk you down, and then that's between you and him. Otherwise, whatever feels right to you is what you should do.

    I think that whether or not you have been married before shouldn't be a deciding factor.  You should do whatever you and your FI feel most happy and comfortable with.  I don't think that there is anything wrong w/ doing any, all, or none of the "traditional" things that people have in weddings.  GL!

    I would talk to your dad about it. He doesn't have to give you away but maybe he would still like to walk with you down the aisle. But its your day do what feels right to you. My mom and dad are both walking me down the aisle but we're not doing the whole giving away thing.

    I don't think there is anything INappropriate about that. This is my second marriage and I thought I'd want the same thing.  I felt like it would be a little silly to have my dad "give me away" again.  Then I decided to just ask my dad how HE felt. He told me "I can give you away as many times as I want!"  LOL  So - I knew he would be HONORED to do it this time.  Just as honored - if not moreso - than last time.  Therefore, my dad will be walking me down the aisle again and I'm super excited about it!!
