Who is walking you down the aisle?

stapletond · May 2010

And how/why did you choose to have that person/s walk you down?

My dad - It's tradition... and he's going to be a blubbering mess throughout the entire ceremony so at least he'll have me near him for a few extra seconds while walking down the aisle to, hopefully, keep him calm a little while longer befoer the dam breaks, haha!

My dad. He's very old fashioned and doesn't agree with having mom's walk down. I feel differently, but I don't want to cause bad feelings or arguments. *Stubborn Spanish Men* LOL!

Dad, though Mom asked if I was thinking about both of them. Trying to find a way to say, Uh, NO, nicely.

Dad will cry the entire time. I'll have to be the stoic one.

I'm a loner, my mom, and only my mom, I am not close to my father at all, he was invited to the wedding for respect, but my mom is the person and was the person who deserves it more than anything.

I'm with you Cheryl! My mom! My dad passed away when I was younger. My mom and I are very close and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My dad is walking me down the aisle. I am close to both of my parents but my mom understands that I want my dad to walk me down the aisle.She was close with her dad to so she gets it. I guess you can chalk it up to tradition.

Both parents are deceased so my uncle walked me down

I am having both my mom and dad walk me down the aisle. My mom was very happy when I asked. I thought it was only right for both parents to share in that moment

I am having my dad walk me down the aisle. We have always been really close and I can't imagine not having him walk me!

Will probably walk myself down the aisle. No father and very disabled mother. Mommy will be in wheelchair and I did consider having my aunt wheel her down with me but I don't think she'd be comfortable with the spotlight. Might have my aunt walk me but if Mommy's going to be there I'd feel funny having my aunt and not her doing it. So...will probably walk myself down the aisle.

My mother will be walking me down the aisle. My father and I are not close.

My dear dad is deceased so my brother, whom I adore, walked me down the aisle.

My father passed 3 years ago this summer, so he will no be available to walk me down and "give me away." I choose to ask my maternal grandfather. He is my oldest living relative and was more then honored when I asked him.

I had my dad walk me down because it's tradition. At one point my mom was bugging me to let her walk me down the aisle with him. I really didn't want her to since I wanted to be traditional. But then she decided that she didn't want to anyway since she wanted to be able to watch me walk down the aisle.

Both of my parents..it is a tradition in a jewish wedding.

gibribuz · May 2010

Both my parents are walking me down the aisle. I am an only child and have always been very close to my parents. It has always been just the three of us.

My stepdad is walking me down. He raised me since I was little. I think my brother who is the officiant will walk my mom down.

Out of respect my dad is also invited to the wedding. We have had the big talk about how he isnt walking me and he understands. Things were tough for him when we were little but he has cleaned up his act a lot in the past couple of years and really made an effort to get to know us again.

melissa82 · May 2010

I felt like both my parents raised me and it felt great to have them both with me. FI walked down with both his parents as well.

(Initially, though, I asked my mom to walk with us and she didn't want to, which was totally fine. But as it got closer, she changed her mind and I think she's happy she did.)

akmackay · May 2010

exact ditto to Melissa. FI parents are walking him down, both my parents are walking me down.

When I asked my mom she was confused and not sure. I asked my priest what he thought and he said he prefers both parents to walk the bride down. Once I told my mom that she was excited- and tells everyone now haha. My dad and I don't have the best relationship and I could see us being in a big argument as they open the doors for us to walk down- at least my mom will keep me calm. Oh, and my dad was not exactly thrilled that my mom was walking me down with him- he wanted tradition. I say screw it!

I'm having both parents walk me down the aisle. Dad had an affair about five years ago and divorced my mom to be with his mistress and our relationship is still pretty strained as a result of everything that happened. He's hurt that I'm not having just him walk me down, but there was no way that was going to happen. He's lucky I'm letting him walk me down at all, I had been planning on walking down myself until he started being such a pain in the butt about it. But I like the idea of having both parents walk me down anyway. I think we'll have FI walk down with both his parents too.

Both parents. It is a jewish tradition and as well, they both raised me together.

AlmostLoCo · May 2010

Same as ECG, mine was a Jewish wedding so both parents walked me down. I'm glad it's the tradition since I'm much closer to my mom than my dad.

leah2b · May 2010

My Dad died about 6 months ago. I don't want anybody to be a "substitute" for him, so I'll walk myself down and carry a bouquet of forget-me-nots.
