anyone, have you ever considered having your father and your child walk you down the aisle together?
I'm asking my mom and step-father to walk me this time. I think it will be cute and they are all excited.
I have considered my oldest sons, they are twins and will be 17 when I get married. I'm not sure though. I may go alone.
@MrsBlueSeptember: i thought about going alone but have never been to a wedding where the bride did. have you seen this before?
@mypinkshoes: I haven't seen it for myself either. I've seen it on tv shows and movies. I don't think it will be as big of a deal for us since we are havin such a small wedding. I'm not sure how to handle it though.
@MrsBlueSeptember: we are having a small wedding too 40-45ppl. the ceremony is at the venue so the chairs (aisle) won't be very long; 5 rows only. i was trying to think of unconventional ways to set up the chairs (aisle) but i can't think of any.
@mypinkshoes: We are inviting about 35. The place we are going, there will be chairs set up outside and we will get married under a tree, but it's really small. I guess it isn't really like I'll need to walk down an "aisle" persay. I have to talk to the coordinator at the place and ask more questions.
@mypinkshoes: I walked alone (even though it was not my second wedding). I have been to a 2nd wedding where the bride walked alone, too. It's an option if that's what you want to do. I don't think anyone thought it was weird (I hope not!).
if my dad is alive he will.(he is sick.) if he is gone heaven for bid i may have an uncle or move my eldest son (5) from the ring bearer postion to walk me down. my youngest will be a ring bearer as well. and my daughter is doing the flower girl job...
My wife and I walked down the aisle together. But if you and your father both want him to escort you, no one else gets a vote.
I am walking down the aisle and meeting my FI halfway. :)
my two boys will walk me down the aisle, they will be 4 and 3 by the time of the wedding. i will not be carrying a bouquet since i only have two hands lol. my 6 year old daughter is my flower girl and my best friends son is our ring bearer, hes my daughters age and they are best friends :) ( yes my best friend and I were pregnant at the same time)
i still haven't decided who i am walking down with. my fi says it's all up for me to decide.
My step father AND mymom. My step father bc #1 my father is deceased & #2 he has been more of a father over half of my life than my own father was. My father did walk me down the aisle the 1st time though. I asked my mom bc she is the one person that has always been in my life and is my rock of support. Both of them are very excited for me as they think the world of my FI. My FI thinks its a great idea for them both to walk me down the aisle
@mypinkshoes: One of my best friends walked down alone. Her father passes away when she was a child and she wanted to honor him by not having someone else take his place.
I had my dad walk me down both times.
@brenda.m.fields: what a lovely way to honour her father. that may have been very emotional.
i have decided that my son will walk me down. he is 27 and he really has been my rock for years. i think when the officiant asks who gives, maybe i will have both my son and my dad answer. immediately after the ceremony we are having champagne/hibiscus cocktails so i have asked my dad to propose a toast at that time.
This is a touchy subject for me. My first marriage it was to be my dad, however, he broke his back the week of the wedding and had to miss it. I walked alone. He passed away 2 years ago and it just sucks. Then I was thinking of having my eldest nephew (my dad's pride & joy) walk me down in his dress blues (he is a Marine), but we are not sure if he will be able to come. So in the end, I will probably be walking alone again.
@aalliep: is your mother available to walk you down the aisle or a sibling or close uncle?
@mypinkshoes: My mom has not been in my life for almost 10 years. No uncles either. I guess in my head, not having my dad alive almost seems like I am meant to walk alone, almost like I would be betraying him. Weird I know
I am walking alone. My father already did that the first time and since he isn't very keen on the idea that I am getting married again, I will be walking myself.
Destination / Elopement for us...
Very intimate just the 2 of us overlooking the Ocean... I'll be walking alone this time (my Dad walked me down the aisle the first time 30+ Years ago).
This time round... its out the Limo, across the lawn, and towards the ocean to meet my beloved.
It should be a big moment for both of us... and no doubt a long walk for me, lol too much time to think, worry or have something to go wrong (broken heel, trip, fall, etc)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
is it common for a father to walk a bride down the aisle for their 2nd or 3rd wedding? my father has not walked me down the aisle before. would it be weird for him to do it now? it's not like he is giving me away for the first time.
last time, my son, who was 13 at the time, walked me down the aisle. he might walk me down again.
i also considered walking down alone or even with my FH.
what do you think. i have a great relationship with all of my family and any of them i am sure would be honoured.
