Walking down the aisle

View quoted message

How long has your step-dad been around? Even if it has only been a few years, if you think that he has really helped to shape you I would see what your dad thinks about it. You could always mention the father daughter dance would only be with your dad? Or the other way around and have just your dad walk you down but have a dance with both of them?

Don't get me wrong - I love the whole dad or parents giving me away, but there is also still a part of me that wants all the attention and for all eyes to be on me with a grand walk down the aisle!! lol, can you tell that I'm a Leo?? haha

I love this!! See, this is why I'm having such a tough time deciding - I feel that my mom and dad have both contributed equally into making me the woman that I am today. At the same time I always pictured it being my dad that gives me away because of how "traditional" it is... but back to the beginning - my parents do everything together as well and on top of that have been married for over 30 years! (good luck much?)

View quoted message That sounds beautiful to me. And if there are any issues that arise from mentioning it to your dad-dad we are here for you!!

My dad will be walking me down the aisle. I’ve seem weddings where the bride and groom walk together and thought about that as well

I’m having my fiancé’s grandpa walk me down the isle as my family isn’t thrilled with the idea of me getting married. We are having a very small wedding and we thought this would be best. He’s super excited about it too.

Walking with my dad. My brother (who is the only son) will walk with my mom. The discussion came up of both and I don’t like the idea. I’ll be overthinking how to carry my flowers, how my dress will be covered, how there’s the two on either side of me walking at different paces etc.

Both parents for me! And they will be "presenting" me... not "giving me away" I cant stand that term

Ideally I would like both my dad and my stepdad to walk me down the aisle. However, I am scared it will offend my real dad if I also ask my step dad.

I walked down with my dad but I had my mom and my uncle walk down in the processional together. They are twins so I thought it would be a nice added element!

This is one I'm struggling with. This is my second wedding and both my parents walked me down the aisle the first time. I'm still deciding whether I'll have my dad walk me down the aisle or go it solo this time around.

Ill be having both my dad and my step dad walk me down the aisle

That can be tough. I'm lucky in that my biological dad really isn't around so I only have the 1 to walk me down. I think your plan is excellent and very sweet. People can get really emotional about things that they perceive as drawing attention to their failings, but stick to your guns! And come complain on here if you need

I'll be walking with both parents. That's the tradition in Jewish ceremonies. Originally I was just going to get my dad to do it. We have a very special relationship because he legally adopted me when I was 7 and we both hate it when people refer to us as "step-dad" or "step-daughter". I want him to know just how grateful I am that he found me and my mom and he's part of my life. But my mom also risked her life with my pregnancy and has given up absolutely everything in exchange for me to have the life I have now, so I'm so amazingly happy that they're both going to be there. Plus my parents do everything together, they might as well do this together too.

I'm in quite the predicament, where my mom remarried when I was 7. So my step dad was the 'dad' in my house til I was 18, and has still been a big part of my life since. He's been my "also dad" for 19 years...

I am going to have my dad walk me into the room, down the first half of the room (long, narrow space), and have my step-dad be waiting at the first row of chairs, stand up and join us til the end of the aisle. Kind of symbolizing him joining me later in life, but still being important. I haven't told my dad-dad this plan yet, and I'm not looking forward to it, but it's my choice, so it's what is going to happen, no matter his reaction.

My dad will also get the official father/daughter dance, and I'm going to have my step-dad join me part-way through my FH's dance with his mom.

Definitely both parents can't imagine going down the aisle without either mom or dad by my side

Both Parents!

I will be walking down with my arms linked and holding both my parents hand, and on the way up I'll be carrying the bouquet.

Oh wow! lol Now that would be something different!! I too imagined just my Dad walking me down the aisle and giving me away but I'll have to try and see if my mom would care and/or how much it would mean to her to be on my one side.

I'm in between just my dad and both my dad and my mom. I know my dad is looking forward to it, plus I won't have the time getting ready with him but my mom will be there. It'd be nice to have a moment with him alone since I'll have many with my mom that morning, plus I feel like she isn't expecting to walk with me.

I had imagined it to be just my dad, but that (surprisingly) hurt my mom's feelings. This also comes from the woman who thought she'd be walking between myself and my dad...I had to tell her I'd be in the middle LOL

I still have lots of time to figure it out, but I might walk down the aisle with both parents.

Its my uncle walking me down. which is my mom's brother. I don't know my biological dad, my mom passed away. her parents raised me. my grandpa (whom I called dad) passed away. this uncle is his son. so its the connection of having them. and my uncle and my aunt have been there through EVERYTHING with me. they are who I do my holidays with, family stuff.

and my uncle is BEYOND excited about it. talked about it for months after I asked him. now hes onto finding a song for our 1st dance. and just driving my aunt nuts making her continually listen to songs! hahah

I’ll be having my dad. My mum actually didn’t want to walk down the aisle and be the centre of attention with me lol. I’m excited for it because my dad and I will have some time for just us in the limo and then before I walk down the aisle which will be really nice.

I've never been a person to fantasize about my dream wedding but I've always known 2 things: I want just my dad to walk me down the aisle, and the song I will dance with him to for the father/daughter dance. When I told my mom that I wanted only my dad to walk me down the aisle she was a little upset and I think felt left out but I told her it wasn't meant as an offence, and I was planning to have my brother walk her down the aisle. She was okay with it after that.

I will be having just my dad walk me down. Staying a little bit traditional.

That's something that I was concerned with too - I have never heard my mom say anything that would lead me to believe that she expects to walk me down the aisle but don't know what to say if she brings it up and I don't want to hurt her feelings. You have a point with the whole getting ready thing though.

My dad and my stepdad are walking me down the aisle. My mum, dad, and stepdad will give me away at the end to show their blessing. I have a mixed family and I want to show that I love both of the men who raised me and my mum too.

I will be having my dad walk me down the aisle. My mom assumed it would be both her and my dad doing it, because that’s what she did, but that’s not what we’ll be doing. For me, I know my mom will get to be so involved in all the showers and celebrations, as well as getting ready with me the morning of, and that will be her time. My dad gets this one thing, walking down the aisle, and i’m sure it’s something he’s been looking forward to since I was born. I’m excited to have that moment with just him and I on my wedding day
