    Things have changed since my last post.  It will be my brother in law walking me down the aisle. 

    We're going to do a video feed of our wedding to my grandparents' house (hopefully she's still with us then) but my grandpa is getting a bit weaker too.  It truly saddens me, but the video feed and the fact they'll be able to watch and hear and us talk to them makes me happy.  It does. It's the best this situation can offer, and I am grateful to T for loving me so much to make sure the grandparents are included. 

    I am grateful for the love of my grandparents and the love of my brother in law, who is really more like a brother to me.  We've been friends since all of us were kids and he grew up 3 streets behind us!

    Neither of my sons are that into it since they don't want to be the center of attention.  But since we're doing the ceremony on the beach and it's very informal there won't really be an aisle anyhow.  At this point all 5 of the kids will walk to the spot and wait for me and the man to stroll down the beach to where everyone's gathered.

    Seven months out means there's plenty of time to change our my mind though!

    My dad will! I'd love for my mom to do it too, but I think my dad would be upset. Honestly, I'd love to just do it by myself but... my dad would be so hurt it's not even remotely funny.

    I was going to have my dad do it, but he did it the first time....  So, this time I'm going to have my 7 yr old daughter walk down with me.  It'll be good because we're blending our families, and he will have his kids waiting by the minister with him.  I can't wait!!!

    I've thought I'd walk down the aisle by myself. But, it may be just the thing to have my daughter, my only child who is 21, walk down the aisle with me. She will be my maid of honor, and that would keep each of us from walking down the aisle alone. I love the thought of it.

    When my mom remarried, she and her husband-to-be walked down the aisle together. It was very sweet!

    I believe that my older son will be walking me down the aisle. Inkpad will be walking down with his boys and I think it's been agreed that my daughter will walk down right before us with our son and take him to my husband.

    My Dad walked me down the aisle the first time. I will be walking myself down the aisle this time.

    The wedding for the first time was a family affair and most decisions were made by the family on both sides. This time, my FI and I are throwing the wedding so it will be less traditional and more casual. I think our families could care less whether or not they walk down the aisle. My FI and I have been living together long enough that they consider our wedding to be an after thought. At this point, they are mostly looking forward to events AFTER the wedding...ergo babies!

    My brother will do it, if FI and I don't decide instead to walk down together.  I honestly don't know at this point... I'm really just beginning to figure out how the whole ceremony will go!  But IF we decide to have someone do it, it will be my big brother.  He's 9 years older than me and was instrumental in my upbringing... after my parents divorced he pretty much raised me as my mom was always working or dating!  So yeah, he's more like a Dad than my real Dad ever was and it would make the most sense.

    I will be walking down the aisle either alone or with my grandma since my father has never been there for me.

    My oldest male cousin is going to walk mw. My mom passed 11years ago and father has never been in my life. Mark is the male I am the closest to as well.

    My dad walked me down the isle last time. I think this time I will walk myself. Or, with how our ceremony area is set up, I may just have FI meet me half way and walk together the remainder.  I haven't decided. Although, the second options always feels like the right option when I think about it. ;)

    I might have already responded to this, but I have decided to let my dad walk me down AGAIN.

    My 5 year old son is walking me.... I'm thinking about my daughter walking me as well... she's 6. I think the sentiment of them walking me and giving me away is touching.

    I will be asking my dad again and if he says no for any reason other than he was in a huge accident and is now in traction then he doesn't have to come. I may sound harsh but anyone who is not prepared to treat this as the most important day of my life with the same excitment given to a first time bride is just not welcome.

     

    Our happiness out ranks anyone else's dated views on how to appropriately celebrate a second wedding.

    My 2 teenagers are walking me down the aisle. My daughter will be 14 and my son will be 17. Then they and my fiance's son will stand with us as "attendants". We want it to be about creating our new family.

    My family won't even be there due to religious differences.....so, my Fiance's dad is going to walk me down. I felt honored that he even wanted to so I'm excited to have him walk me down.

    Before I met FI i was engaged to a wonderful man whom I loved very deeply.  Tragically, he passed away in a drowning accident.  I was and still am very close to his dad and since my father passed away several years ago, I am going to ask him to walk me down the aisle.  He lives out of state and I want to ask him in person, so I will be asking him when I see him in a few weeks.  My mother is not happy about this - she wants to walk me down the aisle, but I'm not comfortable with that.  Yep, had to pull out the "it's my wedding" with her on that one!

    We are probably going to elope so I will say no one is going to walk me down the aisle this time.  In fact, there may not be an aisle as we're considering getting married on a sailboat. 

    The guy I dated prior to SO was asked by his ex-wife to walk her down the aisle for her second wedding.  Her thoughts on it were that her father had "given her away" to him and now it was up to him to give her away to the new husband.  And I hear he did it!  Yeah....sooooo glad I got away from that batch of crazy...

    My mother is walking me down the aisle and my dad will meet us part way. I was originally just going to have my mom do it because its been pretty much just me and her my whole life but my dad was there from time to time so i figured i'd let him walk me a little bit LOL

    FI and I have pretty much decided to walk each other down the aisle. My father isn't involved in my life and I suppose I could ask a brother but, really, we'll escort each other (we're also planning to have cocktail hour before the wedding and attend it together!).

    FI and I are walking together.  I've been married 2x before and dad gave me away....but it's just not fitting anymore.  FI and I are planning and paying for the whole thing ourselves, and we want to walk as equals.

    I have no idea what I'm doing here...my Dad walked me down the aisle at my first (big, 200+ guest affair) and I loved it.  I'm not divorced, my first husband died, so I don't know what to do.  We're doing an outdoor picnic type wedding this time, getting married in the same place as the reception and I was thinking about possibly having my father perform the ceremony?  If that happens, I was actually thinking of walking down the aisle with our dog...neither of us has children and it's a much more casual type deal than last time but I still don't know.  I guess we'll see!
