Can I walk down the aisle by myself?

Question

Having quick wedding ceremony. I will need to walk about 10 feet if that. My parents split when I was 18. Step dad moved in 30 seconds after they split. I get along with my step dad and he is paying for all the food and such. It took a long time before we were okay with each other. My dad will not be coming to the wedding and to have my brother walk me would be weird. I guess my choices are by myself or with my step dad. I dont want to upset anyone and I feel if my step dad walks me down the aisle it would hurt my dad and thats the last thing I want to do. He already cant come to the wedding. (lives far away, money issues, will be having honeymoon 4 days after wedding and see him then) I would like to just walk down the aisle by myself but then would that hurt my step dad? see im confused. lol. please help.

Answer 1

By yourself or ask your Mom to walk you down the aisle.

Answer 2

I would walk down the aisle by myself.Dont hurt your dads feelings.

Answer 3

Do u have a grandfather who could do this and ur close to?

I dont see ur brother walking u down the aisle as weird. I think it would be sweet. Brothers are very protective of sisters, think about it.

Answer 4

Why would it be weird to have your brother walk you down? What about your mom?  Walking a daughter or sister down the asile. is the parents or siblings time to show of their daughter or sister. So no don't walk down by yourself. It will lokk very strange. That no one cares about you. My brother and dad both walked me down.  

Answer 5

Its your day, do whatever makes you happy.  If you want to walk by yourself, then go for...there is nothing wrong with that.

However, I don't think it would be weird at all to have your brother walk you down the aisle.  It would be sweet.  And as far as your step dad goes,  If you want him, then go for it.  Your real dad can't make it to your wedding, so he shouldn't care if your step dad walks you.  But I guess if I were in your shoes, then I would prolly feel the same way and wouldn't want to hurt my dad or step dad.  So I would go with my brother or by myself.  Good Luck with the wedding plans!  

Answer 6

What about walking down the aisle with your Mom? I did and it was very touching for both of us. But of course you can do it yourself.

Answer 7

Of course it's your wedding

Answer 8

This may sound harsh, but if your Dad can't make his own Daughter's wedding, it is his lose!  Your Step-Dad footing the bill.  It sounds like he is real stand up guy to do that for you.  It would be an insult to both him and your Mother if you didn't allow him to walk you down the aisle.  I am sorry that your Dad can't/won't make the wedding, but you should not let that ruin it for everyone else.  If your Dad says something, simply tell him that had he made it to the wedding, you where going to have both he and your Step-Dad walk you down the aisle.  That puts it back on him, and leaves you in the clear!  Now go and enjoy your wedding!

Answer 9

I actually had my brother walk me down the isle.

He is older then me so it wasnt weird. We have a really close relationship so he was truly honored to do it.

Personally, I wouldnt have been able to walk down by myself, It would have been weird i guess. I was really happy to have his love and support by my side!

-Do you have a close friend? uncle? grand father?

But there is nothing wrong with walking down by yourself!

after all! Its your wedding!

Answer 10

Of Course You Can. I Want To Walk Myself Down The Aisle & My Parents Are Still Together & My Dad & I Talk.

It's Your Wedding & You Should Do Whatever You Want To Make Your Day Special.

Answer 11

Hi and congratulations!

Well, have you thought about your mom?  That may be a good alternative.  You do NOT have to have a male.

This is a hard situation.  If you do not want your mom, then I think your step-dad is the one to ask, especially since he is paying for so much, AND, you do (now) have a good relationship with him.  But then again, if you really feel that your biological father will be hurt.....hmmm....

Again, this is very hard.  I would give the honor to your mother (if you want), or walk down by yourself.  To avoid any hurt feeling for your step-dad (if you decide to walk down alone), you could simply say that the aisle is so short, that you have chosen to walk by yourself.  Really....10 feet is NOT really an aisle.  

Good luck with your decision!

Answer 12

Have your step dad walk you down the aisle. (You should be concerned about his feelings too, seeing as how he's paying for the dinner and such). When the justice of the peace asks who gives you away, say BOTH your step father and your father. Honor both men.

Answer 13

maybe you should just talk to your step dad and tell him how you feel  about not wanting to hurt his feeling but you dont want to upset your father either he should understand and just walk down alone i walked alone and everything turned out fine im actually glad i did because i had the whole isle to myself and also if you have someone on your side then your guest may not be able to see you very well when you walk past them and your the most important one  on that day ( well besides your new hubby) but its the brides day so i say go for it  

Answer 14

If you don't feel comfortable asking anybody, just walk yourself. Since your step-dad is paying, you might want to tell him you are choosing to owalk by yourself so your dad's feelings are hurt. If you don't talk to your stepdad, you could hurt his feelings. My friend walked down the aisle with her mom and brother since her dad had passed away, and it was really nice.  

Answer 15

I am actually going to walking myself down the aisle .. Everyone thinks it fine..
