I'm very curious.

can have his bestfriend walk you down the ail, a brother, a close male friend of yours, and have something set up or a picture of him set up in a chair beside where the mother would be. I've also seen during the start of the cermoney the bride light a candle in memory of her dad.

There are so many wonderful ways a bride can honor her deceased dad on her wedding day: A lovely tribute to him during the ceremony or reception, you can have his photo and pictures of the family on a side table with an open book where people who knew him can write nice stories or memories as well as wishes for the bride and groom.
A bride can ask any person who had a significant role in her life to walk her down the aisle. My daughter was in the same situation and asked her godfather (my brother) to walk her down the aisle. If you ever saw the movie: The Sound of Music, you will remember how stunning Julie Andrews looked walking down the aisle by herself, showing the world what a strong woman she had become.
I think the most important thing is to follow one's heart and the rest will fall into place.

The bride had the choice. The person who takes the bride down the aisle doesn't have to be a man. She has choices, any family member that she is close to will do, her mother, brother, a favorite uncle or cousin, a best friend, male or female. She may walk the aisle alone if need be.
If the bride's father was close to her, and she wishes to honor her father, she could carry a small photo of her Dad in a beautiful frame, something small, like a 3 x 5 or 5 x 7 photo with her down the aisle and give the photo to an attendant when she reaches the altar. It would make for a sweet gesture on her part, but it's just a thought. When the minister asks her, Who gives this woman in marriage, she may reply on her father's behalf and say, I give myself in marriage on behalf of my beloved Dad (father, Pop, name). Just a thought.

First of all if she wants to honor her dad, she can have a candle lit for him somewhere in the church and in the program just state that the candle lit on such and such table is in honor of the bride's deceased father. She can then walk down the aisle alone or if she has an older brother he can walk her down. Otherwise a grandfather, friend of the family, or even her mom can walk her down the aisle.

well, my dad is deceased as well. I'm hoping that my grandpa will still be around when I finally get married, in which case I'll have him walk me down the aisle. And if not...then I'll probably just go down the aisle by myself. And it's not a big deal -- your wedding doesn't have to have any certain way about it. Weddings are all different.

She might choose her next closest male relative if possible, or a male figure that she is close to. most men would be honored to take on this duty. If there is no male to do this, then she may choose to walk alone. I have walked one of my daughters down the aisle as mother of the bride. It is a good idea to have a single candle lit off to the side of the altar as a symbol of his presence in spirit. Decorate with white rose or some personal memento. Best wishes!

1. Walk down the aisle alone with his picture tucked in her bouquet (he'll be there in spirit anyway)
2. Get an uncle or grandfather to stand in for him.
3. Have a brother do it
4. Have a cousin walk her.
5. Walk down the aisle with her mother.

Ask an uncle, brother or other male relative. I have also seen a bride walk down the isle by herself, and one with her mother. It is your wedding. Do what you are comfortable with. You can also do somthing to signify the presents of your father--candles, release of doves or what ever you choose.

There are two things that are missing: father/daughter dance and walking her down the aisle.
These traditions can either be skipped or replaced with someone else - for walking down the aisle, she coudl go herself or have someone close to her walk her down: brother, sister, mother, grandfather, stepfather, a close friend, an uncle, an aunt, etc. For the dance, a friend, brother, uncle, grandfather, etc would be acceptable, or it could be skipped all together.

How a pair of advantageous gentle bracelet, like a tennis bracelet. something that she will maintain consistently as an heirloom. i be attentive to I spent a protracted time picking out my necklace and jewellery and it could have further to my wedding ceremony day rigidity if I without warning had to choose for between a necklace that my husband in simple terms had delivered to me (and it does not tournament my jewelry) as i'm getting dressed and this necklace that i be attentive to is going genuinely completely with my gown. this is a girl factor.
