Who did you walk down the aisle with at your wedding?

[Iecydda]

Don't want my dad to "give me away" - bleurgh!!

But not sure I fancy the walk on my own?

Not that we are having an aisle as such, it will be into the centre of a circle as we've chosen to have all of our guests form a circle around us (small wedding, just family and a few close friends).

We have a gorgeous little girl together who will be flower girl and one much older bridesmaid.

I'd love to hear suggestions/about what others have done.

DH walked with both of his parents, then my bridesmaids, then I walked in with both of my parents. We each gave both our parents a hug at the end (or I tried to, my dad just went and sat down 🙄). I’d have walked down the aisle with DH but he didn’t want that. DH wanted to see me walking down the aisle and I didn’t want to be given away (or have it viewed as being given away, even if I got rid of the words), so it was a bit of a compromise. It was actually really nice.

Me and my husband walked in together

Walked in with DH, our DS and 2 flower girls. Perfect for us.

I’m getting married next year and been thinking about this. It’s a registry office and I’ll have a 1 year old. I don’t want my dad to walk me down so I’ll have to work out what to do. Most likely walk down as a family. I’ve never been to a registry office wedding so don’t know how they normally start.

I walked down the aisle with my brother (father isn't invited so it wasn't about being 'given' away).

DH walked down with his brother (before me).

Walked in myself holding my newborn. I'm not anyone's to give (or receive).

My dad, not from a 'giving away' perspective but as his only daughter it would have been his only chance to do so

We had a very small wedding, us, 6 guests and the vicar. The vicar led us in, me and DH first, then we all stood in a semi circle with us and the vicar in the middle.

One point is what to do with the bride’s mum (assuming she’s invited to the wedding) if the bride is on dad’s arm. One option is for the parents to walk into the venue first, maybe groom’s mum with bride’s dad & etc.
