So I'm sure most of you are having your dads walk you down the aisle.
Unfortunately, that's not an option for me, my dad passed away 12 years ago Both of my grandfathers have also passed and I don't have any brothers. I'm not sure if I should just walk down by myself or if i should ask my mom to walk me down. I'm not sure if I can handle having my mom walk me down, just typing this i'm getting all teary eyed. I'm very very very close with my mom. It's just been the 2 of us for a long time (my 2 sisters got married many years ago). I think i might just be a crying mess having her give me away. Plus I know she'll be much worse than me.
What do you girls think i should do?

I know you said it will be emotional, but I think having your mom walk you down would be so special since it's been just the two of you for a while.

I just teared up reading Have you talked to your mom about this yet? She may really want to walk to you down the aisle. I say maybe talk to her about it openly - express your thoughts of both of you crying and see what she says. She might think that she might not be able to handle it or she may be so honored that she doesn't stop smiling. Good luck!

I would def talk to mom and see if she wants to walk you down. Since you two are so close I think its perfect for her to give you away even if its emotional
heres another option.....are you close to any relatives? I know a friend whose uncle walked her down in place of her dad.....
good luck but I would def talk with mom first

Re: Who's walking you down the aisle??
Thanks girls. I was thinking of asking my godfather (he's my dad's brother) but I'm not really that close with him.
I think I'll discuss it with my mom next week and see how she feels about it.

My Dad is not an option either.
So I'm having my Grandfather (who is my favorite person everrrrrrr next to FH of course) walk me down. Next in line is my mom.
I think you should have your mom... I feel its an honor to walk a bride down the aisle... and it sounds like your mom deserves it!

to all the girls who have to deal with this. Even though it would be a very emotional walk... it would be one you'll always remember.

You should consider having your mom give you away especially if it has been just the two of you for many years.

Having your mom walk you down sounds like a good idea. I was going to also suggest your godfather but I see you said you werent that close with him. Do you have any other uncles that you are close with?

If i were in that position i would totally want my mom to walk me down. I think it would be so touching & your mom would be so happy to be asked.
Thankfully my Daddy is walking me down.

I got teary eyed just reading your post. My parents are divorced and my dad and I do not talk. I did however tell him when I got engaged and that I would like him to be at my wedding. He told me he wasn't sure he would be able to make. I wouldn't want him to walk me down the isle but... I don't know who I would have walk me, my mom or my brother.

Awww, I am sorry to hear this- I got emotional reading this. I would talk to Mom and see what she says. However, do you have an Uncle that you are close to? Or a family member that you are close to that could walk you down?

I dont have that option either, my father passed away almost 15 yrs ago. I wanted my mom but , she doesnt feel comfortable doing it. So I am having my son walk me down.

That's really sweet, I think that's a great idea for you.
Thank all of you girls for your thoughts. The more I think about it, I can't replace my dad with anyone else (uncle, bro in law, cousin). So I think I've decided that I'm definitely going to ask my Mom. She's going to be really surprised i think.

I'd say your mom for sure but if you think its too emotional to do the walk with her...then maybe do it alone and as you pass her you can hand her a rose or flower from your bo-k...or...you can always be escorted by your fh...or MOH? Why not...?
