A brother walking the bride down the aisle?

Question

Okay, so there a a big gap between me and my siblings. my brother has been there for me through everything and we are really close. I was wondering that if at my wedding my dad wasn't 'around' if it would be acceptable for him to walk me down the aisle?

Answer 1

Of course it would!  As a matter of fact, my own husband walked two of his sister's down the aisle as their father was not involved in their lives.  Perfectly acceptable.  

Answer 2

Nowdays because of circumstances that can affect a family, anyone you feel close with and who has been there for you can walk you down the aisle. It sounds to me like your brother is a great person and you really think very highly of him. Given the case, him walking you down the aisle should be perfect and do not let anyone talk you out of it.

Answer 3

My dad walked my aunt (his sister) down the aisle at her wedding because their dad died years before. Many people don't have their dads to walk them down the aisle. Some pick family members or friends to bring them down, or they walk by themselves. Some even walk with the groom, or meet the groom halfway. Do whatever would be the most special to you!

Answer 4

My father is no longer in the picture. My mother did not want to walk with me down the aisle. She was upset I wouldn't ask my father.

I asked my brother to walk down the aisle with me. Then I asked my little brother to walk with my mom.

It turned out gorgeous.

Answer 5

My mother had her older brother walk her down the aisle when she married my father because their father skipped town when she was only 6 years old (with 5 other siblings on top of that!).

It's perfectly acceptable to have your brother walk you down the aisle since your father isn't around. In fact, it would be the best thing you could possibly do! I'm sure your brother will be thrilled and honored by the request.

Good luck!

Answer 6

If your dad is not there, then I think having your bro walk you down the aisle would be great.  If Dad is still around, then I think he should walk you down the aisle.  (assuming that he wants to, of course.)

Answer 7

Yes, he can walk you down the aisle.  I am having my brother walk me as well since my dad is deceased.

Answer 8

Yup, it is perfectly acceptable and I'm sure your brother will be honored.  :)  

Answer 9

If your dad can't do it then it would be really special to have your brother walk you down the aisle.

Answer 10

ANYONE can walk you down the aisle, gender and age shouldn't matter. You can also have NO ONE walk you down the aisle. Your choice :-)  

Answer 11

That is a wonderful idea! If you are closer to your brother and he has been there for you when your father hasn't, then by all means, let him walk you down that aisle on your special day. Best of everything to you!

Answer 12

sure. or have your mom

Answer 13

Of course it's acceptable! My little sister got married in 07' and our father officiated the ceremony so my brother and I both walked her down the isle. She loved it, and my brother and I were honored that she asked us to do it. Whatever you choose will be perfect for you and your fiance, it's your day. Congrats and good luck.

Answer 14
