I haven't seen that, but you could always have a close friend or family member who does approve walk you down the aisle. If your father doesn't want the honor, I'm sure someone else in your life would love to be there for you and would be ecstatic to give you away.
I think that it would be great for you both to come in together. In Victorian times, it was a common practice for both the bride and groom to enter the ceremony together.
I went to a wedding a new years back and the church had 2 aisles that led to the alter (the church had 3 seating sections rather than the traditional 2), so the bride and groom walked down separate aisles, but at the same time, which I thought was really cool.
I've only seen the couple walk in together when they are same sex, but it was beautiful and I don't see why it wouldn't apply as wonderfully.
awww its so sad that neither of your parents are coming. :( :( :( its your wedding!!
do you have an uncle or brother that could escor you down the aisle? anyone in your life that supports the wedding and you are very close with? doesnt have to be a dude.
I'm sorry that your parents aren't attending. Walking down the aisle with your hubby will be beautiful. I'm sure your guests will be moved.
I think the two aisle plan is awesome! If you have the ability to have two aisles, I think that would be the best bet. As a guest I know my reaction would be "Awww! How sweet!"
If you can only have one aisle (because it's a church, or something like that) then maybe your brother could do it? If no brother, then maybe have the Best Man walk you to the groom? That could be cute if done right, kind of like the best friend giving you to the groom kind of thing.
I have four brothers I am close to! lol, so it would be hard to choose. I like the 2 aisle idea, our church actually has three aisles, so I am trying to think of how to make this work...
Thank you for all of your support!
@Aug8Bride, lol - I can just see them all hamming it up, too. That might make for an interesting entrance.
I really like the idea of you walking in with all of your brothers (so long as the aisle is wide enough)!
Another idea - a co-worker's cousin is having a big Indian-American wedding. The bride is having some of her friends as American-type bridesmaids. She is having her mom, aunts, and older cousins escort her down the aisle. So you could have elder female relatives walk with you en masse - kind of a girl power thing.
Great idea ExLibris!! I love it.
Wow, I'm really sorry about your dad's attitude, after he already gave his "blessing". Strange.
I read somewhere just the other day it is becoming quite popular for contemporary couples to walk down the aisle together and I don't see why you couldn't do that :) I think it would be awesome and actually unexpected and fun!
The picture of your brothers hamming it up is quite cute :)
One thing you could do is enter the church by yourself - just a little bit - and then pause after a very short walk. Your FI could then walk up the aisle to greet you and walk you down. Very sweet. :)

My dad says he is not coming to the wedding, even though he gave my FI his blessing when he asked to propose, because that "would be like putting his stamp of approval on something he doesn't approve." I love my parents dearly, but my FI and I are ready to be married. We're financially secure, mature, have stable jobs, and yes we have a year left of school, but we have that paid for already, not to mention we love each other and are ready to be married! I could go on and on about this, but the point is he is not coming. I am sad about this, but I honestly am handling it, because I am ready to start my life with my FI.
Now, I am a BIG chicken. I don't want to walk alone, but I am thinking I might. Have you seen weddings where the bride and groom walked together? How did it go?
