  I like the idea. FWIW, it's a Jewish tradition for both parents to walk the bride down the aisle. Considering brothers, uncles, godfathers and stepfathers can walk the bride down the aisle, why not the mother, too?

  I am doing this too. My Dad and I don't have the best relationship, but he's still my dad. I'm much closer to my mom, so I feel that having both just makes sense for my situation. And good point CMGr, I'll have to check the aisle width when I get to that point too!

  I'm doing it!  As long as there's enough room for all three of you to fit down the aisle, I don't see why anybody could realistically object.

  I love this idea. I dont see why you cant if there is room. I am having my son and my dad walk me down the aisle.

  My stepmom did that because her parents were divorced. When they're still married, I guess it kind of honors them both if just your dad walks you down, but if they aren't, then what? I thought it was a really lovely idea. I've also been to a wedding where the bride's whole family gave her away. Mom and Dad walked her down the aisle, and then when the preacher asked "Who gives this woman to be wed?" her parents and grandparents stood up and said "Her family does." It was kind of cool, but maybe a little over the top, too, depending on how you look at it.

  Thank you for all the great responses.  We're on the beach, so there should be enough room for us all!  I am super close to both my parents and to just single out one seems unfair.  We'll all take a trip!
  
  Thanks again ladies...

  When one of my best friends got married two years ago, both her dad and stepdad walked her down the aisle. I thought that was nice because she is EXTREMELY close to both of them. I don't see anything wrong with both your parents walking you down.
