    This is my third marriage (divorced, widowed) so I've already been around the wedding block.  I don't need my dad to walk me down the aisle or do the whole giving away thing, and he doesn't either.  I'm torn between walking alone, having Sweetie meet me half way, or us walking together all the way.  I love the symbolism of him meeting me halfway, but we are really a great team so doing it together makes sens to me as well.

     Anyone have any thoughts on this?  I'd appreciate some advice.

    I like the meeting halfway symbolism as well, I think that's really nice idea.

    My mother's first husband died so when she married my Dad he met her halfway down the aisle. It was apparently quite moving because I still meet people who knew them back when who talk about it.

    I like the halfway, or walking in together.  Both feel very appropriate, and will be touching.

    I think halfway is a lovely idea. Traveling the road together is nice as well, but the symbolism of meeting halfway is fun and touching.

    I think having him meet you halfway down sounds like a lovely idea.  I saw this at the wedding of a family friend who had been previously married.  She had her son walk her halfway and her husband meet her in the middle.  It was really moving and memorable.

    I love the halfway idea.  Yes you're a team, but meeting each other in the middle shows your team work and cooperation.

    I vote for the halfway idea. Even if it is your third time, you are still a bride! And you should stand proud and walk down yourself at least part of it - and I live the symbolism of him meeting you half way - I think it's really sweet and totally unexpected. And you can incorporate that into your ceremony.

    Your guests will swoon!

    Halfway halfway halfway! =) After all, you walk out as a team, and I think that halfway is a lot more emotional/memorable for both of you.

    We are also doing the him meeting me halfway and then walking the rest of the way together. Since we're giving ourselves to each other, it just feels right and I love the meaning in it.

    Thanks everyone!  I appreciate your thoughts.  God only knows what kind of answer I would have gotten if I'd asked this on knot. 

    Halfway it is! ;o)

    Both my parents walked me 3/4 of the way.  Then my fiance met me, my parents kissed us both, and finished their walk.  Then my fiance and I walked the rest of the way together.  It was perfect!
