Doing or Ditching: Father escorting you down the aisle?

Lynnie, on April 1, 2019 at 09:05 Posted in Wedding ceremony 0 52

Are you sticking with the tradition of having the bride's father walk her down the aisle? Are you mixing up this tradition to include another family member? Or are you completely changing it up and walking down the aisle solo?

Will your father walk you down the aisle or are you ditching this tradition?

    I am doing this but with a little twist.
    My parents are divorced but have both been a MAJOR factor in my life, so I have both my parents (Mom & Dad) walking me down the aisle.

    I think it will be beautiful !

    Ditching! My parents separated when I was little and although I love my Dad and the time we’ve spent together, my Mom raised me and she will be the one to walk me down the isle. (:

    Both of my parents are too old to fly across half the globe to come to my wedding. Since they won’t be here, I wouldn’t have anyone else taking their place. I will have long procession walking in front of me. Both of my FH grandsons, both of his sons, 4 of my bridesmaids, and I will walk alone behind them.

    We will visit my parents few months after our wedding for second wedding reception as well as having the honeymoon.

    Ditching. My parents have both passed, and we're older and have been together nearly a decade, so we are thinking about walking down the aisle together.

    Did it! Instead of my father, it was my mother who walked me down the aisle as my husbands aunt walk him down too.

    I'm hoping to have both parents. I casually mentioned it to my mom a while back and she was like "oh, does that mean I'll be in pictures and stuff?"

    Like she just wants to hide and not be noticed on the day which I find sad. I hope to change her mind because its important to me to have both parents walk with me.

    My dad definitely will! He’s a pretty great dad so I wouldn’t switch this tradition up!

    Mine will be, but this was a tough decision as I am very close with my stepdad as well.
