Advice about wedding ceremony

Maya, on June 17, 2018 at 17:06 Posted in Wedding ceremony 0 11
I grew up in a single parent family and my mom is a very important part of my life and she will be walking down the isle with me. I only grew up with my one brother and I asked him to walk with me as well. My relationship with my dad has been improving over the last year and I also want to include him in my walk down the isle. Not sure how best to do this, I was thinking of having my mom and brother on one side and my dad on the other. I’m open to other suggestions.

    I really like the idea of having each family member walk you down the aisle in stages. If you did your brother then your mom, your brother can walk your mom down the rest of the way and then your dad and walk you down to your FH!

    That’s what I might do for a bit, but because my mom and brother are so important to me I’m not going to walk the full way with my dad. He hasn’t been in my life as much as them. A year ago I wasn’t even thinking of including him to walk me down the isle. So that’s why now I’m looking at ideas to not disclude someone.

    An idea would be mother and brother to hold arms and you hold arms with your dad and you all walk down together?

    Another great idea Smiley smile I think maybe if my mom and brother walk me half way I could get my brother then to walk my mom the rest of the way and let my dad do the last bit.

    Why don’t they all line up on one side and walk you down a quarter each down the Aisle?

    I’m getting married in a place that I can make the isle as big as I want so that won’t be a problem. It’s important for me to have them with me. I just don’t know if there is a better way to have them ordered or to have my mom walk in front of me. Just looking for some ideas.

    How about your mom and brother walk you half way and then your dad takes over, or vice versa? That would be unique and honours them all. Or alternatively, maybe your dad can do a special reading.

    I think it's lovely to want to have all of them walk you down the aisle, but I would be wary of how big the aisle is! Most weddings I've gone to, it's been a tight squeeze with 2 or 3 people at most.


    Could there be other ways you can honour them for the wedding, such as a special dance, asking them to do a reading (or poem if not religious), or do a speech?
