How are you getting down the aisle?

NJ Jen · May 2010

I wasn't given away the first time, won't be doing that this time. Might just walk down to fiance, might ask HIM to escort me, no idea.

So let me steal yours!

we are walking down together.

pattymacc · May 2010

My daughters (ages 9 & 11) are walking me down

I am having my son escort me. He is 14. This is my second marriage first wedding event, the first time around was in the courthouse. I wouldn't be given away in either case.
I love the look of the bride walking alone and I also love the look of the bride and groom walking together.
My second choice would be to have mom walk me. She really wanted to but thought it would be better to have my son escort me.

I'm going it alone, as I did before.

I think there are SO many cool options with this! I love the idea of the bride walking herself. It's such a statement, confidence, independence.

I love the bride and groom idea too. So different and untraditional.

I think the best weddings can be a mixture of true classic tradition with untraditional elements thrown in. And being second or third brides we have even more options and less pressure to conform to that cookie cutter ideal.

My 2 sons age 26 and 17 will escort me (something to think about when figuring out the aisle width!). My oldest is also going to officiate if the FI Grandfather decides not to. He's kind of shy haha

My son is walking me down, too. I wanted all my kids to have a part in the wedding so this made most sense for us.

NotFroofy and I walked down the aisle together.

The Groom is being escorted in by his Two girls and his granddaughter(the flower girl) and then my girls will go before me with my grandson the ring bearer..its probally all wrong this is our first wedding and we wanted to include the girls.

I agree with CWCottage, there are so many options to choose from and this time around we can do exactly as we please and what makes us happy. My brother walked me down the isle the first time (father deseased). This time I'm having my oldest son who's 23 and in the Air Force walk me down the isle as my cousin plays the bagpipes. I'm excited about this one because it's a surprise for my FI and the guests..

At the reception my other two boy's (20 & 17) will dance the mother son dance one taking over after the other. My daughter and FI's daughter are our jr. Bridesmaids.

I think your wedding will be beautiful whatever you decide to do. Good Luck

My Dad passed away 13 years ago, so my Brother graciously agreed to walk me down the aisle. It was perfect.

msblumoo · May 2010

Our plan is: Officiant will walk down the aisle.
                    Groom will walk down aisle (a few paces after officiant)
                    Bride will walk down the aisle to be met halfway by Groom who will
                    take her hand and together will proceed to officiant.

MikesAngie · May 2010

No aisle, we're sitting all the family and friends together with a walk way in front of the seating. The groomsmen will enter from the right and my FI and his daughter will be excorted by his mom. The bridesmaids will enter from the left and my mom will escort me. We didn't want a bride's side/grooms side - and this takes care of that and it forces our friends and family to mingle from the start.

mma3 · May 2010

We are letting people sit wherever (I never really liked the bride's side/groom's side thing). My Grandpa is going to walk me down the aisle.

dwashco · May 2010

My three sons (23, 21, and17) will each walk me a thid of the way down the aisle - oldest to youngest.

Rawr08 · May 2010

Great ideas! I am still trying to figure ours out. So many options. My Father gave me away the first time, and stood up as BestMan. I don't feel right asking him to do it again, was thinking of Mom, but also LOVE the idea going it alone or walking with my soon-to-be husband.

bigeyedm · May 2010

I am thinking of having my son walk with me, but he will only be 5, so I'm not sure if this is something I can reasonably plan to do (this is my first and only child, so I really don't have a concept of how volitile his mood will be when he's 5 - he just turned 4 and things are still a little iffy in the tired tantrum department).

DirtysAngel74 · May 2010

My father passed when I was a child so my 1st marriage, my step dad walked me. This time, my brother is escorting me... luckily, I was able to talk him out of the leather pants and tuxedo t-shirt and top hat combo! lol

Marrin713 · May 2010

On my own two feet I hope!

Actually it's a civil ceremony at the courthouse and there is no aisle. Just a room with chairs, a lectern, and officiant. So T and I will be arriving together and we'll be hauling the immed. family upstairs with us. I do have a matron of honor and T has a best man so they'll stand in front of the judge with us. The rest of the fam will be sitting behind us. It's all a surprise and mystery to me

mzkynd · May 2010

all lovely ideas, i especially like the idea of the bride and groom walking down together. my father lives overseas so he won't be making it, i thought about having my brother walk me but am not sure yet.

NJ Jen · May 2010

Thanks for all the thoughts! Love hearing everyone's plans!

jsauer74 · May 2010

My daughter who is 17 is walking me down the aisle. She will then stand next to me as my maid of honor. She is so excited to have such a big role!

Amomtomanyluvs · May 2010

my dad will be walking me down the aisle again

mswood1977 · May 2010

I was married in the courthouse the first time without any friends or family there. Since this is my first "real" wedding, and he didn't get to do it the first time, my dad is walking me down the aisle.

tonyscutieest09 · May 2010

I had my dad walk me down the aisle the first time but it always felt akward to me because my dad and I don't have that great of realtionship.

This time I think I want to walk alone, even though it kinda bucks my ideas of tradition.

amwilli5 · May 2010

My mom is walking me down the aisle. Whatever or whoever you choose it will be perfect for you

tjkovar · May 2010

I want all 3 of my children to walk me down the aisle, I juts can't figure out how yet. They are 15,17 and 23. Youngest is a girl, the older 2 are boys. In my head, I just don't see how 3 works but I can't leave them out of this. I am also walking on an aisle runner so space could be a problem. I would love to hear any and all ideas! Thanks so much

dwashco · May 2010

tjkovar - read my post earlier in this thread - I had issues trying to figure how to do 3 too!

Lisa50 · May 2010

I plan to walk solo. God willing, my dad will still be alive, but he won't be able to escort me, which we would both enjoy. I dunno, if I'm feeling especially sentimental, I may ask my cousin to escort me. I just don't know. Likely solo.

How is that for decisively indecisive?? Hee hee. I have well over a year to decide.

SweetAmy33 · May 2010

Im going solo!

My dad walked me the first time and i thought about having both my parents walk me this time, but...the truth is over the last 6 years of being a single mom ive become very independent and I want to salute that independence a little by struting down by myself. My parents and FI ageed its a great idea.

JenniferC2010 · May 2010

I'm walking down alone. I walked alone the first time (rebellious elopement) and will do it this time too.
