Re: Walking down...

She can easily walk you down the aisle, then step to your side.

You've got plenty of time to decide, so take a few months to let it play in your head.

It's not weird at all. If you want her to walk you down, that's who should do it. Don't go by what other people do or how people might react, do what feels right in your heart.

thank you so much!!!

Re: Walking down...

I'm am in a similar situation... My dad is trying to control me by giving me a whole lot of conditions to go by before getting married. He wants me to solve all of the family problems, and most are not related to me!!!!! If I don't resolve everything he said he wants me to wait until next year!! Ugh. So I am thinking to ask my uncle(more of a father to me anyway) to walk with me if things don't work out with my father. But everything will be fine.

You're making a good decision. I see it this way, it's my day, I want to be happy, and I probably could be happier without the drama!

it's not weird at all. If you want your mom to walk you then you should have her do it. And then she can step to the side. It will be fine.

I think having your mom walk you down the aisle will be fine. You have to do what is right for you because it is your day.

Re: Walking down...

Absolutely not weird!! You can do whatever you want on your wedding day!!! That would make it really special and I'm sure your mom would appreciate the honor of getting to do both for you!!

You don't have to take my advice but please listen. Don't NOT do something for your wedding bc you think other people might see it as weird. You have to do what makes you and FH happy, otherwise you'll regret it later.

Re: Walking down...

don't get preoccupied with the usual ceremony routine. Do what you want! If I were you, I only would have accepted mom as the escort down the isle, since she is the one who raised you....

For all of your family, it would make sense too.
Never mind the patriarchal dogma!!!!
