I am in a difficult spot, my dad will not be attending my wedding. I don't know who should walk me down the isle. Would it be inappropriate if the groom's father/brother walked me down the isle? What about his mother because mine will not be there as well?

I was maid of honor in a wedding in the same situation. The bride's family was crazy and didn't want her to marry the groom, (who by the way is like her prince charming) so they refused to come. She ended up walking herself down the aisle. She said if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself! The groom surprised her by meeting her halfway down the aisle and walking her the rest of the way up, which made for GREAT pictures. At one point tho, she was gonna have his dad walk her down, so you could definetly do that. Will you have a grandfather or an uncle their? That could work too! If not, I think you should get whoever you are most comfortable with to do it!

It would seem to me that the guests at your wedding know the circumstances of neither your father or mother being there to walk you down the aisle. I don't think it appropriate for your groom's father/brother/mother to walk you down. I would look to someone on your side of the family whom you are fairly close to. I've seen brides come down the aisle alone and then a relative stand up with her to answer the question as to whom is giving you away, and the answer to that would be "her family". Or if you come down alone, couldn't that part of the ceremony be eliminated? Good luck and much happiness.

Do you have a brother, cousin, or uncle that you are particularly close to? If not you can walk yourself down the isle. I did. It was not hard, as I was going to him of my own free will anyway. If you are very uncomfortable with that how about a close male friend. I am not opposed to the idea of his father doing it, but I would go with that as a last resort.
This is just my opinion.
I hope your day is beautiful.

I think that its wonderful if your groom's father or brother can walk you down the aisle. It would really show that you are a part of the family. But if neither of them is available you can get anyone you love and respect to do the job or you can just walk down the yourself. Either if those options are totally acceptable. Good luck and congratulations.

Is there another close family member? A grandparent? Brother? Uncle?
It's your wedding, whoever you feel the closest to and would be more fitting for such an honor.
I wish you the best. My parents didn't attend my first wedding because they disapproved. I had my new father in law walk me down. I was 19 and knew everything at that time though. I wish I would have listened to them because I ended up leaving my husband and was divorced 16 months later.

since your parents won't be at the wedding. you can pick anyone that you like.. generally it is the brides father that walks her down the isle. but since he isn't available for the task.. pick out someone you love and respect to walk you down. it could be your brother uncle and of course it could be the grooms father or mother.. it is up to you who you pick this is your special day pick a person that you really care for to do this.. It is your day do what makes you the happiest. good luck

You can have anyone you want to walk you down the aisle. It is YOUR wedding, your day. If you have a very close friend, or other relative you have been close with, that would be great. If you want the groom's father/brother walk you down, as long as it is your choice, fine. Do you have a relative of yours to walk you down?

I'm in same situation. None of my family will be attending my wedding. I just moved to CA from NC. My soon to be father-in-law is walking me down the isle. I don't see anything wrong with it

If you ask the groom's brother to walk you down the aisle it should neutralize any hard feelings with anyone. My eldest brother walked me down the aisle even tho both sides of the family were present. I chose this option because I love my brother dearly. Anyone you choose would be OK - it could be your best friend.

First thing that you should decide is do you want your family there? My question is why are they not coming to your wedding? If they aren't coming for sure then if you have a brother or cousin that would give you away or walk down the aisle with your soon-to-be husband.
