Your Dad could walk you part way down. You and your son could pasue and wait for your Dad to make it to his seat before you start down the aisle.
My dad is disabled (he has Parkinson's Disease) and will not be able to walk me down the aisle. Instead, he will be waiting for me at the end of the aisle so I will walk to meet him there. When the priest asks who gives this woman away, he will be able to give me away. Maybe you can do something similar - your son walks you down the aisle, but you both meet your father there and they can both give you away?
Thanks for the ideas, ladies. :) Not sure yet which way I'll go with it, but you gave me food for thought. Thanks.
Similar issue here, except my dad passed away last year. My son will walk me down the aisle, but when asked, "Who gives this woman?" He will answer, "My grandfather and I do..."
At that point, ny mom will be sobbing.... (in a good way, of course)! :)

Hi,
My FI and I have been together for 13 years. I have three kids, one daughter (26) and two sons (24 and 18). I asked my daughter to be a bridesmaid as soon as we decided to get married. I was a bit surprised (and touched) when my FI wanted my oldest son to be one of his groomsmen, but I was a bit worried about leaving one child out of the wedding party. In addition, I am very close to my youngest son so I really want him to walk me down the aisle. He will also be doing a reading as he's an extrovert and will shine in this capacity.
I'm thrilled that my children are going to be a big part of our day, but this does create a problem; my father. I don't want to hurt his feelings by my giving this traditional role to my son instead of him. (The first time I was married it was a civil ceremony, so he did not get to do this.)
I am looking for ideas on how to honor/incorporate my father, or maybe even all of our parents (my mother and father, and FI's mother, his father has passed) so that my father isn't hurt. We're getting married outside (weather permitting) and I could have him walk me from the patio to the point where the aisle begins and then hand me off to my son. But then what to do with Dad at that point? He still needs to be seated at the front. I'm not 100% sure that there is enough space to make the aisle wide enough to accomodate three abreast, but that would probably be the easiest solution.
Another idea I've consdiered is to incorporate a rose ceremony of some sort, but generally these are done for the mothers and not fathers.
I'm not sure if this idea would help solve the problem, but I've considered displaying wedding photos of both of our parents and grandparents on the guestbook table.
I'm open to creative ideas. Help!
