Wedding Vows & Ceremony Discussions

It is 3am… and I am freaking out about walking down the isle.

Hi ladies,
When I started my wedding planning my family (aka. my mom grandpa and step dad) decided to argue about who was going to walk me down the isle in front of me, at a family party.  So to shut everyone up I came up with this hair brained idea.  My plan was to have all three of them do it.  My mom is going to walk the whole way with me on my right, my grandpa will go half way down the isle and swap with my stap dad on the left side.  (i hope this is clear.) 

Anyways, when we picked a venue we made sure it was wide enough to allow for this. Three of us could walk down comfortably. 

Now thinking about it more and more I want to scrap the whole idea and walk myself down the isle. The plan sounds messy and I don't know how if is going to work.  I wish my family didn't argue about this so early in the planning stages, because I am unsure how this is going to work now.  I have three wonderful people who love me and want this honor.

Now I know I cannot scrap the idea, because I have asked them to do it.  So I would love some advice from you ladies.  Have any of you done this or something similar? 

Logistically how is this going to work? Or is it going to be a disaster like I think it is going to be.

  • I think it does sound a bit strange but in all honesty, I think it brings more of an intimate feeling to your ceremony. Arguing families suck, believe me, I'm dealing with it currently as well but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity & I think you should go for it.
  • Make sure you do a rehearsal, I know it will be cutting it close, but it will definitley help! Why oh why can't parents get over themsleves and just do what you want them to do on your wedding day. Makes me crazy (I'm dealing with divorced parents that don't speak to eachother and a selfish MOB to boot).
    I feel your pain, don't be afraid to put your foot down, you have a right to be bossy, you're the BRIDE. Make sure that the "hand off" between parents is comfortable or else it will take away from your "moment" down the aisle.....
    and if all else fails just get them drunk and lock them in a closet somewhere, that's my plan lol.

    good luck and remember, you're walking down that aisle to your love! that's all that matters xo

    I think you will be just fine if you choose to walk down the aisle alone.  Go for it!
