Sorry for your loss. I think that you should ask your Mother first, if she isn't comfortable with doing that, then walk yourself down, there is no rules when it comes to this. I would not have a friend walk me down because over time some things change and you may not remain good friends, then you would regret that you had them walk you down the aisle. You could have the person preforming the Ceremony mention your Loved Ones and say that you know they are with you in Spirit today. Just be yourself and have a wonderful wedding day, don't worry about hurting anyones feelings it's about you. Congratulations and Best Wishes to You and your Fiance'.

I walked myself down the aisle. My mother was there, my father is alive but was unable to attend due to illness. Even if he had been there I'd have walked myself down the aisle anyway. I figured at 33, I can give myself away. However, if you really *want* someone to walk you down, I think you should find someone. If you don't *want* it, don't feel like you have to have it just because it's "traditional".
Steven sounds like a good friend, and I assume you've already ruled out making him a "bridesguy", so this sounds like a lovely way to include him if he's interested.

First of all, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! There's nothing wrong with you walking down the aisle by yourself if that is what you want, after all you are the bride and it's your day! Maybe discuss with your fiance' and see what he thinks. Lots of brides have a family friend or their mother walk down the aisle these days as there are so many 'broken families',etc,so no one will look askance at it. Above all, do what makes your comfortable.
Have a Great Day!

In today's wedding world, it's not unusual for the bride to walk herself down the aisle or to walk down the aisle with her fiance. I think you should do whatever you feel comfortable with. It may also be a nice gesture to have your mother by your side.
It's not so much the idea of someone to give you away as it is to show that this person, or persons, have supported you and your decisions throughout the years.
Good luck and congratulations!

I had my Mom walk me down the aisle. My parents were divorced when I was very young and my mom raised my sister and I on here own. I decided it should be her honor to give me away. The choice ultimately lands on you. There is no shame in not having some one on your arm as you walk to meet your new husband at the front of the aisle.

I think that is a great idea. So many of us has been living on our own and the notion of "giving the bride away" does not really apply anymore.
Alternatively, your mom giving you away would have symbolic implications - but our mother's don't really give us up when we are married (thankfully!) and she already has an official spot as Mother of the Bride. I wanted my mom for my matron of honor since we are so close, but she wasn't comfortable with that.
Steven might be a good idea, but hopefully our friends don't "give us up either".
Ceremonies say so much about ourselves and what we are trying to do in the next phase of our life. I think going alone conveys the image of a strong woman walking into a new life with a clear vision and confidence.
Peace and blessings!

I'm not sure that I would reccomend having Steven walk you down the aisle if he's the similar age as you (people might start wondering who the groom really is) ;)
I might have my mom do it. If you have any uncles or male (older than you) relatives, that would also do a splendid job.
Your mom's idea about you walking alone sounds very uniqe and special. If you're not to shy, I would reccomend this one.
Remember, you only get one wedding. Have your choice reflect YOU!! :)
Good Luck. I hope I answered your question.

There's no rule that says you have to have anyone walk you down the aisle.
It might be nice to have your mom walk you down as a stand-in for your dad. But if you want to walk yourself down that's your choice. What does the FH think?
I was an independent woman and well able to take care of myself for 39 years but I had my dad walk me down the aisle because I wanted to honor him as my dad, if that makes any sense. So being independent doesn't necessarily mean you don't have anyone walk you down the aisle.
Happy life with the FH

Firstly, congratulations ... and also my deepest sympathies for your losses. Don't pay too much attention to tradition. I have a friend who had both her parents walk her down the aisle, which was touching because we knew how close she was to both. Are you close to your mother? I'm sure it would mean a lot to her to walk you down the aisle in her husband's, your father's place. I'm sure she will be thinking of him the whole day. I think it would be very sweet. Just make sure whatever you decide, that you're comfortable too! It's your day!

If you want to walk yourself down the aisle then do it!! If you are not comfortable with this then you can choose whomever has been a major influence in your life or is important to you. You don't neccesarily have to be "given away" either. Since you are an independent person, rather than having the person officiating ask "who gives this woman" they can ask "who stands behind this woman" or "who gives their love for this woman on her wedding day". Something to show that rather than being given away, they support you in your decision(s). Good luck and congrats!
