hey, my name is sarah. this is my second wedding and my fiance's 1st. i have a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. he has a 1 year old daughter who i am adopting as soon as we get married. i am trying to figure out who walks me down the aisle. i would like for all three kids to accompany me, but his daughter is not walking yet, so i would have to carry her. i am wonderig, on a second wedding, if it is okay to ask my father to walk me down the aisle. i was thinking about having my dad walk me down the aisle and then have all the kids walk with us as my fiance and i walk back down the aisle after the ceremony. can anybody give me some advice?

    Your dad if he is willing and agreeable may definitely walk you down the aisle.  I like the idea of the kids walking out with you.  Little ones really won't remember much about the day, so don't try to include them too much.

    You can walk down the aisle with whomever you want to bestow that honor.  If you want your father to do this, I'm sure he'd be thrilled and honored.  Your kids may be too young for that task, but walking out as a united family sounds like a wonderful idea.

    You're not required to have young children be such a large focus of your wedding. yes, you're joining 2 families, but a wedding, IMO, is for a bride and groom to commit themselves to each other. I think there's even a post somewhere on these boards that I've seen that talks about it in depth.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with having your father walk you down the aisle on a second wedding. Or you can walk by yourself. it's whatever YOU want to do...it's YOUR wedding.

    If it were me, I would want my walk down the aisle to be focused forward on my soon to be husband, not keeping track of 3 little ones.  A recessional as a family might be easier (more adult arms to hold onto little hands.) 

    Having said that, a piece of this is what image you want the ceremony to promote.  Not to others but to the two of you.  I am not a fan of the wedding being a family unification, nor is my DH.  We really did nothing along those lines at our wedding.  Others feel differently, and really want a component of the event to have that flavor.  In the spirit of, to each his own, do what makes you happy.  But don't feel compelled to do it, the children are too young for it to mean anything to them. ~Donna
