Marriage

[twinmumma2020]

So I've came to the realisation that my dad probably won't be at my wedding , well any of my family in fact, which absolutely sucks
But I guess I've never really had a close relationship with my dad
I live 500+ miles away now and he doesn't travel 🙃

So I guess my question is; who can walk down the aisle with you?!?!

Iv spoke to few different people about this and have been told it's only meant to be someone from the brides family 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't think I'd have anyone on my side be able to do it,

Its really hurtful to know that there's a 90% they'll not be there, my children are getting christened next month and they've already told me they can't make it as it's too far, I've told I'll come lift them on the ferry and pay for the tickets but they told me not to bother as it's too far to travel 😩

Stuff what anyone else thinks you should do. It’s your wedding, you can have anyone you like to walk you down the aisle. Or if you’d be comfortable waking alone then do that.

If you have DCs could they walk with you? Or someone you love from your fiancés side perhaps. The whole “giving you away” thing is pretty outdated, it’s not about your dad handing you over to your new owner anymore, it’s about someone you love accompanying you on the journey towards your new life. That can be anyone you wish.

We walked in together! Do that, it’s really lovely.

I’m sorry your family isn’t attending but it’s their loss.
Its your wedding, you can have anyone you want to walk you down the aisle so don’t listen to anyone else! What about walking slowly with your dcs?

Anyone you want???

Dh and I walked down the aisle together. I'm not somebody's possession to be given away thank you. If you want a supporter then your bridesmaid? Or best friend?

Walk down it with your fiance and after the wedding service walk back down it with your husband 🥰. It works really well.

Someone famous, her name not dissimilar to mine, had her future FIL walk her down the aisle.

Walk on your own or with your partner

Exactly what I thought.
OP - have whoever you like or no one. It's entirely up to you.

It's 'giving away'. The father usually does it as he is giving away a daughter.
That seems out of date now, so you could ask anyone.

Traditionally, if the groom didn't turn up, the bride would marry the best man, so the best man would not be the bride's brother or other very close relative

I walked down on my own, I hate the idea of being given away.

YES! THIS. Its 2022, nobody is giving you away. Walk down the isle with your soon to be DH.
Or own your own. Megan Marckle did half of the aisle on her own.

My sons walked me down the aisle. My best friend walked on her own and my cousin and her husband were already at the front when everyone arrived.
It's absolutely up to you. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.

I walked myself down the aisle to my mothers disgust

My 1st marriage my best friends long term
Partner walked me. My Mum hadn't wanted to.

I was really happy to have him do it, and he did a very lovely little speech.

This time, we're walking together. No entrance. ❤️
