Married with no parents?

Question

i plan on getting married in the near future but i don't have parents. how is my wedding supposed to work? i don't have anyone to give me away or for the father daughter dance

Answer 1

If there is no father, you just don't do the father daughter dance. YOu can do a different special dance, but no one will be upset if there aren't the traditional dances especially if there is no father for the father daughter dance. There are lots of things you can do for getting down the aisle. YOu could pick someone else special to you. You could walk down by yourself, so instead of being "given" to your husband you are presenting yourself. You could even meet your fiance halfway or walk down together,just do what feels right for you.

Answer 2

You can either have a close friend give your away, an uncle, or no one. My best friend walked down the aisle alone. There is no legality to "giving someone away"

You can dance with your Father-In-Law, it would be a nice gesture.

Or just don't do it at all, it is honestly not that big of a deal honey, don't worry about that too much! Or, just don't do it at all!

Congratulations and Good Luck

Answer 3

Well, you just adapt things.

For example, my father had passed away two years before I got married.

At the church, my husband and I walked up the aisle together. Our attendants walked in as couples before us.

For the dance, I danced with my older brother. You could dance with someone else in your family, a close male friend, or even your father in law.

Answer 4

If you plan on sticking with those traditions/standards even though you do not quite 'fit the mold'... do what works for you.

If you really want someone to 'give you away', choose a family member that has been a parental figure for you, can be male or female, or choose a sibling or cousin that you have a good bond with.

As for the 'father-daughter' dance... you don't have to do that exactly.  Perhaps you could have a special dance with someone that has been special in your life.  

Answer 5

I don't either. You just work with what you have. No one has to walk you down the aisle. You can obviously take care of yourself, so no one has to "give" you away. If there's no dad, there's no "father/daughter" dance. It's no big deal.

Just surround yourself with friends and family and don't worry about what you don't have - focus on all the things you do have.

Have a great day!

Answer 6

Well You Don't Necessarily Have To By Tradition.

If You Have A Close Male Friend, Why Not Ask Them. Or Perhaps A Grandparent, An Uncle, Or Even If Your Close To Your Fiance's Father Ask Him.

& You Don't Always Have To Have A Father/Daughter Dance. I've Never Been To A Wedding With One.

Answer 7

whenever you do get married have his parents walk you down
