My dad passed away a few yrs ago, so I asked my uncle (dad's bro) to give me away.
Although I have two brothers, they are both younger than me ~ plus I am in my 30's & it seems weird to have a *younger* bro. "give" me away ~ considering my age, independence, etc. It's not like I am just leaving home to be w/my fiance or anything ~we have been together for a number of years now.
Besides, I would rather have my bros as groomsmen so they can both be more involved w/me & the rest of the wedding party.
I considered asking my mom to walk me down the aisle ~ but we are both super clumsy & I am afraid we will both trip =( OR she will be emotional which will make me cry ~ my uncle is tall & sturdy & NOT emotional ... a good person to keep me walking straight ;)
Anyway, people assume that one of my brothers is going to be walking me down the aisle & are suprised when I say it will be my uncle. I assume the "proper" choice is to ask a bro, but has anyone seen it done differently?
