Who is walking you down the aisle?

kassiedee · June 2012

Are you having your father, or another impostant male figure in your life walking you down the aisle?

I have thought about this really hard. My father lives down the street from us yet he has never been a huge part of my life he mostly just walks in and out at his own convience. But I have a wonderful Pop (maternal grandpa). He has always been there for me and done everything for me. So there is no doubt in my mind that it will be him walking down the aisle since he was my father figure.
Just curious to see how many others are not having their biological father

My dad will be walking me down the aisle. I'm extremely close with both my parents and considered having them both walk me down but I like the traditional aspect of it just being my dad.

I'm also really close with my dad, so he will be walking me down the aisle. But I think in your situation you can absolutely choose who will walk you, since you are not close to your biological father.

I am having my dad walk me down the aisle. But, I am also going to do a special dance at during the reception with my step-dad because I am very close to him as well.

My dad will also be walking me, but we're close. It's been a dream of his to walk his only daughter down the aisle, so I'm excited for that part for him. In your case I would totally say ask your Pops!

I'm still debating this one. My parents divorced when I was very, very young, and my father and I have had a tumultous relationship. He was never the father I really wanted/needed him to be, though we have been trying to mend our relationship the last few years. My mom on the other hand is my world. It has been her and I from day one. I *definitely* want her to walk me down the aisle, but I'm not sure if I want to have my dad walk me down as well. I don't want to offend him, or send our relationship into another tailspin, but it is very important to me to have my mom by my side.

my mom

my dad left before I was born so I have never had a relationship with him. my sisters both had my mom's brother walk them down the aisle and dance with them for the first dance - they wanted to be really traditional. But the more and more I thought about it, I just can't NOT have my mom walk me down. And I'm just not having a dance. my gpa was always the father figure in my life (he passed away 6 years ago) so I think it's great you are asking him!

My mom is walking me down the aisle. My relationship with with my dad has never been what I wanted, we have tried many times to mend our relationship, it just always leaves me disappointed. I will invite him to the wedding, I just know I will live with regret if I let him walk me down the aisle. If I was slightly closer with my dad, I would have both parents walk me. I have been to a couple weddings this year where the dad did not walk the bride down the aisle. One had her mom and one had her grandpa.

My Mom will walk me down the aisle. I don't have a relationship with my Dad at all. My sister talks to him from time to time but I don't. I am not even inviting him to the wedding. I couldn't imagine anyone else walking me down the aisle. We won't be having a father/daughter dance or even a Mother/Daughter dance. (It just seems weird to me)

I've been struggling with this too. (I'm close to both my parents but I've always been Daddy's little girl) My parents are divorced and my mom has mentioned walking me down the aisle very non-chalantly (not sure if I spelled that right lol). I've always assumed and wanted my dad to walk me down the aisle but I don't want to hurt my moms feelings. I think asking your Pop to walk you down is really sweet since you are close to him. Im assuming your asking this because your Dad will be there. But if he hasn't been an intricate part of your life then I think he'll understand why you choose your Pop. I'm actually asking my grandfather to be part of my ceremony by presenting my ring to my FI since it was my grandmothers. Not sure exactly how yet.

kassiedee · June 2012

I can't not invite my father, although sometimes I would like that. So I do know I might hurt his feelings but I am starting to feel more and more confident that my Pop is the right person to walk me down the aisle. I am trying to wait until Father's Day to ask him. But the wait is killing me haha

I always pictured that I would have just my dad walk me down the aisle, but my mom has expressed that she had wanted to do it too. I am close with both my parents, they are still married, and I talked to my dad privately about it and he said he;s fine with it, so I'll be having them both walk me down the aisle. I like the tradiational idea of having just one person, but this will make them both happy, so I'm happy.

I definetly think you should have whoever you want walk you down the aisle, whoever is going to make you happy that day. Your Pop is going to be sooo happy when you ask him, definetly wait even though it's hard. And let us know how it goes when you ask!

This is my second wedding, my dad walked with me the first time, my son and daughter will walk with me this time. They are so excited!

sparkles776 · June 2012

meghannsix- i love that idea! so sweet.

iloveu4ever · June 2012

My dad because we get along and can talk to him about everything. I don't have any grandparents alive. But I am blessed that I have a dad.

Miss Esa · June 2012

I have not really given this much thought. It will probably be my dad.
