Who walked you down the aisle?

[princesspumpkin]

Or, did you have anyone walk you down the aisle when you got married? My father had passed away, so i walked alone (I'm so independent ) My best friend said that I should have had my uncle walk me, but I didn't feel the need to be given away. I do look forward to DH walking DD down the aisle, though. If she doesn't want him to, he'll be heartbroken.

Nobody. We got married in City Hall. We both detest being in the limelight. I would have passed out walking down an aisle.

Both my mother and father waked me down the aisle.

My dad walked me down the aisle.

My Father walked me down the aisle. He was very proud to do it to. My Mother wanted to walk me down the aisle also, but I wanted it to be more traditional. So my brother walked her down the aisle & they lit my family's side of our Unity Candle.

My dad passed away about eight months before we got married, so my uncle (who is also my Godfather and father of one of the "Rum Cake Incident" kids if you read my earlier unrelated post ) walked me down the aisle.

my father had passed away over 10 years before i wed so i had my oldest brother walk me down the aisle-when the preacher asked "who gives this woman in marriage" my brother said "her mother, her brothers and i".

My Dad did. He was sooooo fussy about picking out his tux. He told the rental place, "I don't want to look like a jerk out there - all eyes will be on me when I walk my daughter down the aisle."

My Mom said that he thought it was his moment in the spotlight, not mine!

He was a very proud Dad walking me down the aisle and I think we shared the limelight very nicely. I'm the baby and have two older brothers. This was our very special moment and I think we both treasure it still, almost 24 years later.

My father passed away 6 months before our wedding. I really didnt feel right about filling his shoes so soon after he passed so I started down the aisle alone and my sweetheart started walking toward me, met me halfway and we continued the rest of the way together.

Mom and Dad:

I'm the 4th daughter, so Dad was like, "Right foot. Left foot. No, don't cry. You're make-up will run. Right foot. Left foot. Big step up." It was so sweet.

My dad. And I was glad he was there! I was terrified and if I had to walk alone, I probably would have keeled over!

My Grandpa.

My mom. I wanted both my parents (they got divorced when I was 8 or 9) but my mom told my dad that if he showed up she would cause a scene. I didn't know about this until about 5 years later and spent those 5 years being really mad at my Dad and step-mom for not coming. I was pretty close to them before that and lived with them 7th-12th grades. My mom still wonders why I have little contact with her. My Grandpa told me what happened, my Dad has STILL never mentioned what happened, to his credit.

My dad passed away, so my mom's husband walked me down the aisle. Thinking back I should have had her walk me down the aisle or just walked down myself. Oh well. Nothing would have been a good enough substitute for my dad.

Wow, your story brought tears to my eyes. Divorce can be so difficult during a wedding.

My Dad and my Grandpa (Mom's side).

My other Grandpa (Dad's dad) died before I was born, otherwise, he would've joined us, too.

My dad walked me down. But, he was flakey and we had a very broken relationship. I was so afraid he wouldnt show up, I made my brother rent a tux. Had dad not shown, he was my back up.

My father. During the rehersal he kept telling me to slow down because he only gets to do this once. But when it came time for the ceremony I think he realized how nervous I was and kept up with me as I power walked down the aisle.

When I get married, and if I have a regular ceremony, I will ask my mom to do it. She raised us pretty much on her own, so she represents both parents to me. If she would prefer to do the traditional "mother of the bride" thing instead, I won't be offended and will ask my uncle - he's done a lot for us in our lives.
