I never really had a father around It has always been just my mom when I walk down the aisle?

Question

who will walk me to my man when I get married . There has never been a father figure or any other male that has been equally paternal to me other than my mom. Can you solve this dilema

Answer 1

have your mom do it...or maybe a guy friend that really close to you and your fiance? or maybe his father or brother??

Answer 2

Let your mom have the big honor!

My BFF walked down with her mom because her mom had such a huge influence in her life.

I am walking alone because I feel it shows my fierce independence and likewise my father has not been a very integral part of my life.

Anyone can walk you down the aisle as long as you feel he/she has made an impact on your life.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Either have your mom walk you down the aisle and then present you to the groom or have her walk down before you and you come down the aisle alone.

You don't have to be a slave to ceremony traditions.

Answer 4

Ask your Mom , that is the best solution I could give you. She will know if there are any male friends of hers or friends in the family that would be glad to walk you down the aisle , it truly would be an honor . Maybe even grandpa if he is alive and you have any relationship with him at all . Good luck and God bless

Answer 5

I'd have your mom walk you down the aisle. If you aren't comfortable with that, I'd have a brother do it (if you have one) or else your grandfather. The other option would be to walk alone.

Answer 6

you can have your mother walk you down the aisle.. if not then maybe you fiance's brother, if he has one.. or an uncle or a brother if you have one... a grandfather?

Answer 7

Have your mom do it. With the growing ivorce rates over the year and the amount of men who are no shows inthere kids life. It has become the mother who fill both rolls so why not let her walk you down the asil. No one ever said it must be a man. Just some one you love.  

Answer 8

It would be a nice gesture to let your mom walk you down the aisle.  It doesn't have to be a man.

On the other hand, you could either walk alone or with your fiance.  I met my fiance at the foot of a bridge, we walked across the bridge and down the aisle together.

The way I see it, I'm an adult and nobody can give me away.  Walking over the bridge symbolized our journey to get where we are today.  Walking down the aisle symbolized the beginning of our journey in life together.

Answer 9

Have you thought about walking down together?

I also loved the idea of walking down by yourself, then collect flowers from your guests as you walked down the isle, to form your bouquet

You don't need a man to walk you down...if you want someone "giving you away" think who is really important in your life.  If you are really close with your mom, she could give you away too...

Good luck...and don't worry about etiquette...your wedding is whatever you want it to be!

Answer 10

ask your mom to walk you down, its not uncommon, ask a uncle, brother, grandfather, or a very close family friend.. i even seen some brides walk alone... when i got married to my first husband, my father and mother both had  passed away, my father in law to be was disabled so my future brother in law walked me down...  

Answer 11

I would have your mother walk you down the aisle. My mother walked me down the aisle. I felt that she deserved to be the one to give me away.

If you wanted to you could ask a brother, uncle or grandfather if you are comfortable with them - but I think asking your mom would be nice; I know it was a special moment for me.

Answer 12

I've seen plenty of weddings where the bride's mother has walked them down the aisle. I think it will be beautiful and it will touch your mom if you do it this way.  Congratulations!

Answer 13

You do not need to have a male figure walk you down the aisle. Traditions change with the times, and it's very popular for moms to walk their daughters down the aisle. My mom is walking med own the aisle because she raised my sister and I on her own, and I wouldn't have it any other way on my wedding day. You should have whatever adult figure you're closest to walk you down and give you away.

Answer 14

Your mom.. or go it alone...

It doesn't have to be a man...

Answer 15

i would just have my mommy walk me

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 16

Brothers

Grandfathers

Uncles

Best male (platonic) friend

Good friend of the groom

or use your Mom.

Answer 17

Why don't you let your mom walk you down?  She's been both mother and father to you- I think she deserves this honor even if she's not a man.  There's no rule that it has to be a father or some other man that walks down with the bride.  In fact, in traditional Jewish weddings, the bride is walked down by both her mother and her father.

Either that or you could walk down by yourself.  Lots of brides do that.

Answer 18

I fail to see the problem? Are you uncomfortable being walked by only one person, or is your mom uncomfortable escorting you by herself? Either way you can always walk in with your fiance, if he and his parents are willing to not walk in together.
