I am getting married in a small historical church so the asile is pretty small since the church was built in the 20s. I am thinking about walking just by myself and having my father stand at the end of the aisle. I think it looks better this way.... and plus my mother and father can both stand at the end of the aisle.
Facts-
1. I don't care about the typical "Tradition" and neither does my family since I am the first person having a formal wedding.
2. My dad and mother don't care- I think my father actually likes this idea better.
I am wondering- IF you were a guest at my wedding, would you even notice the difference or think it's strange?

I've only seen this in movies but I think it looks very elegant and if you are concerned that the aisle is too small I think its much classier.

I walked down the aisle alone. My dad & I were estranged, my beloved grandfather was dead. I had gotten myself there all by myself & I thought, well, why do I need someone to walk me? I've come this far alone - so I can do it my way. When the preacher said Who giveth this woman? My entire family stood up & announced Her Family Does! That brought tears to my eyes & made me feel really great. I absolutely LOVE your idea about having your folks waiting for you at the end of the aisle - I think that would be a very precious memory for you to have. It's YOUR wedding - do it YOUR way!!! I hope your wedding day is gorgeous, I hope your wedding will be beautiful, I hope it's your perfect day - I wish you & your groom all the blessings & joy your hearts can hold & the best of luck to you!!! Do this your way & don't worry about what anyone else says or thinks - it's for YOU!!

I would definately notice and think it is strange. I understand that people sometimes want a non-traditional wedding, but some traditions should remain. I would see it as a disrespect to your father of not letting him walk down your aisle. My wedding aisle was small to, but I NEVER would have asked my father to wait for me at the end of the aisle. He was the first man in your life, he should be beside you on the way down. Think of how lucky you are that you still have your Dad around to walk you down the aisle, many brides do not have that luxury.

First of all good luck and congratulations. I say go for it, my cousin was married in a small church and they tried to be traditional but it would've been much easier if she had walked alone. It's your wedding..the important thing is that you're marry the man you love NOT if your father walks you down the aisle.

My father become very abusive and not in my existence as quickly as I have been given married the 1st time. He wasn't invited to the marriage and any kin member that additionally spoke to him wasn't invited or instructed the place / whilst the marriage become so he could no longer happen and injury issues. My mom wanted my step-father (who had basically been in my existence for few years at that factor) to furnish me away, and that i wanted my well-known uncle to fill the area. After some lower back and forth, i desperate that i become going to furnish my mom the respect. This time around, i'm strolling myself down the aisle. And every person who talks to my 'father' remains no longer invited. there is not any longer something incorrect with strolling your self down the aisle, having yet another kin member walk you down, having an older lots enjoyed pal of the kin walk you down, or perhaps strolling down the aisle such as your canine. it quite is a marriage between YOU and your FIANCE. in spite of the two one among you compromise on is what you need to do. anybody else is largely a centred visitor who must be honored they have been invited. in the event that they are so indignant, they might pass away and not rejoice with the hospitality of your reception.

First of all, it's your wedding!!! So do what you want!!! If I was a guest at your wedding I wouldn't think twice about it because I am the child of a single parent so if and when I get married, I will walk down the aisle by myself!

If I were your guest, I would be honored just to be there. I would think that it was what you wanted to do, and that would be fine. Do what you want to do (it's your wedding and all about you) and, very importantly, what is practical.
My best friend (I was her maid of honor) walked herslf down the aisle because both of her parents are dead. Her aunt and uncle raised her up from 2nd grade, so they both met her at the end of the aisle and raised her veil together. Just beautiful!!!
Congratulations!!!

It is perfectly acceptable....many brides do it for several different reasons. They may not have anyone to walk them down the aisle, they don't like the idea of being "given away", their father is unable to walk and meets her at the alter! It doesn't matter. It is your day, do what you think works best and enjoy it! Congrats and good luck!

More and more weddings I've attended are less traditional these days - for example male "bridesmaids", female "groomsmen" unequal number of bridemaids and groomsmen, etc. My wedding was untraditional - we got married in a japanese tea garden in front of immediate family members and my husband and I choose to walk in together. So if I were a guest at your wedding I wouldn't find strange at all. Do what you want - it's your day!

Well, it is your wedding. I wore sneakers to mine, because I refused to wear heels. I think the moment is for you and your family to enjoy, and I am sure your family is looking to see you get married and not so much about if you are walking alone or not. Now it is every father's dream, to walk their daughter down the isle. Are you sure he is fine with this, or is he saying this to make this your day no matter what it cost? Congratulations btw!

i think that is an absolutly fantasic idea!!!
My Dad and My Step Dad (i consider my step dad more of a father to me than my real dad ever was) were both at my wedding and My Step Dad walked my down the isle and gave me away.. My Real Dad just sat there and had to watch.
Congrats and Good Luck!!!
