I have an older brother and he is doing it so I just option B. However, if I didnt have a brother I would have my mom do it, which I think is a great choice. To be totally honest I would 100% have no issues going it alone either, I think whatever makes you happy you should do!!
Do whatever you want! But definitely don't feel like you HAVE to have someone walk with you.
I only speak to four family members, one of which is a male cousin. By default, he wins!
I think you can do whatever you prefer, whateer makes you feel most comfortable. You can walk with another family member or friend, by yourself or with your fiance! I've seen all different options and they've all worked out beautifully.
I don't have a relationship with my dad, so I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. At first, I wanted to have my mom walk with me, but after speaking to her, I realized she had kind of pictured watching me walk down the aisle instead. I asked my brother and it was absolutely the right choice. He's a great kid and I was so excited that I could include him in this special way.
I didn't vote but I'm not sure what I'm doing and our wedding is Satuday. You can do whatever you want to do, there are no rules. I'm either walking with my Mom or brother or by myself. I've even thought of walking with FI. I'll wait to see what feels right at the rehersal.
My stepfather and step-grandfather are both deceased so I wanted my nephew to walk me down the aisle but my family sucks and because they suck we decided to elope, so I'm walking myself down the aisle. I'm cool with it now but it bothered me for a long time.
do whatever makes you happiest! I had my brother do it - we are close and I think it meant a lot to both of us. I definitely didn't want it to feel like someone random, like an uncle I didn't know well. I wouldn't pick somebody just to pick somebody! Mrs. Cheese wrote some great posts about why she went it alone.
I initially didn't want to do this at all since I dont like the whole "giving away" idea, but when I mentioned to my mother that some women are having their mothers do it she got incredibly excited. I was surprised how much it meant to her!
My mom wants to walk me down the aisle, but I don't like the connotations of giving away, so I want to walk myself.
My dad died several years ago so my mom escorted me down the aisle. It was perfect! I would do whatever feels the most comfortable for you. I personally wanted someone with me because otherwise I probably would have fallen on my face!
In my situation, I haven't talked to my real dad since I was 10 and my step dad has been a crappy person forever and as of a few months ago is completely out of our lives as soon as the divorce hearings are done.
I have my grampa but honestly I WANT to walk down alone. I don't think it will be sad that I'm walking alone, because I'll be proud. A "I made it this far without them" kind of thing for me.
And I think I would want to walk alone if my dad had died because I wouldn't want someone in his place you know?
I just recently started having a relationship with my dad. So, he wont have the honors.. And I cant have my mom walking with me since she passed away 3 years ago 
. It will be by myself.
My older sister's father died of cancer when she was three. My father has a condition which has prevented him from being a supportive father figure in our lives. So at her wedding, my sister's "Poppy," her paternal grandfather, walked her down the aisle.
The situation is always different, so walk in whatever way has meaning to you!
I say the person who means the most to you! Or even going down alone is nice too!
My father died when I was little and my mother raised me. I've thought about this a long time, and I find it symbolic to go from her to my FI... since she's the one that had the role of both father and mother in my life.
I think my older brother was surprised when I told him I was going to have my mom walk me down the aisle. I couldn't imagine it any other way!
btw, I don't think it would be odd if you chose to walk down by yourself. I thought about this option, but I finally decided it would be honoring to my mom - so that's why I made that decision.
My brother is walking me down, even though my dad is in my life... we just have a strained relationship and I think my brother is going to do a wonderful job.
Due to some issues, I walked down the aisle alone and met my husband halfway. I say do what feels comfortable.
My stepfather is walking me. If not him, I would love to have my mother walk me. I don't think I would be comfortable going alone...I anticipate being incredibly nervous right before the ceremony and I will need someone to calm me down.
My mom said she wouldn't do it! lol she said she'd be too much of a mess...
I'm doing it alone & I'm so happy to do so. I actually think its a fair representation of me: a confident woman who is making her own way in life! haha
Do whatever feels right to you!
I said another male family member or father figure but I'm not thinking your Mother. My father has never been in my life and my relationship with my step father isn't exactly roses so I'm actually gonna have both my mother and my step father walk me down the aisle. I hope, I haven't asked my step father and he's the type to refuse but since he's paying for a majority of the wedding I'd like him to do it. So basically, its your moment and you do whatever it is you truly want to do. If you're close to your mother I think she'd be so honored to walk you down the aisle.
I justed wanted to say thank you to everyone who voted and gave advice, I really appreciate it. My mother did raise me, but we do not have the best relationship. The thought that many of you have echoed is that once someone like your father dies there is no one who can replace him unless someone has stepped up to the plate for you. Since no one has for me I will be walking alone.
My favorite idea is Jessebel-walk down alone and have my man meet me halfway. It is symbolic and sweet and I think he would like it.
My father just decided to be part of my life about 4 years ago. I love my mother dearly. I chose to walk it alone. Oh, and the whole 'who gives her away'? NO! I think that tradition is retarded. I give myself freely and wholey to my FH. No one else chose him for me!

I have already thought about asking a male family member, and my fiances dad offered to do it. I also have given serious thought to just going it alone, is that such a big deal? Thanks ladies.
