Absolutely NOT!! Even if your Fiance says it's ok, it will come back and haunt you! If you don't have a father or brother to give you away ask your mom, or someone very close to you.... NOT your ex!! Good-luck.

Sounds sleazy, unless he's also your dad...and that's sleazy too.
Better to just walk down the aisle alone if you can't find anyone. Having your ex give you away just sounds like a way to create attention and drama. There is enough attention and drama for any bride without making your fiance feel bad (no matter what he says, he probably secretly hates this idea). I know I hate this idea.

depends what sort of relationship you all have.
Y do you have to have anyone ''' give you away'''
my best friend & her man walked into the church together ; no attendants - just 2 witnesses
neither I nor 1 of my sisters had anyone 'give us away"
if you are a long time out of that relationship & no longer living with parents - you are presumably your " own person"
this is an old tradition & not necessarily relevant today

I think it is very weird. I would never to talk to an ex let alone have him walk me down the aisle. It's just me, but I think it is inappropriate to be so close with someone you were once married to when you are about to get re-married. How do you think your fiance' would feel about this? I wouldn't be happy with it.

That would be in poor taste. Its like having your ex "hand off" his "troubles" to a new man... "I gave away my ex, now she is his problem".
Secondly it is rather disrespectful to both the ex-husband and the groom.

Not good....find a good male friend, your brother, uncle....someone else. I know i wouldn't want my wife's ex husband at my wedding, let alone giving her away....

It all depends on the situation. If the new groom and him are on good basis and he is okay with it , I don't see a problem with it. Obviously the bride and her ex are on great terms as friends.
Good Luck . Others will just have to accept your decision

I say heck no.
The first wedding comes with all the pomp and circumstance. If it didn't work out, can't you just go to a chapel for the next one?

I think that the idea is perfectly acceptable. I'm assuming that you and your ex-husband have a good relationship, and you are good friends. I'm also assuming that your future husband and your ex-husband get along. I don't see anything wrong with that. I actually like the idea. I may just do that myself when I get married again. My ex-husband and I get along very well. My boyfriend doesn't mind that we are very good friends, and they too, get along very well. My Dad died four years ago, and I have no brothers or family to "give me away". Good Luck.

i think that it is selfish and unnecessary. if someone doesn't want their dad to give them away get a friend to. the ex husband should have no part in the ceremony out of respect to the new husband.
