could i walk down the aisle by myself?

Question

since my dad refuses to walk me down the aisle at my wedding, could i walk down the aisle by myself or would that be inappropriate? im new to all the wedding stuff..so i need a little advice.

Answer 1

It's your wedding do whatever the hell you want. I hear people say the craziest things, like the wedding is traditionally in the brides hometown. Who cares where it is, it's all up to you. If you want to wear jeans and cowboy boots with a led zepplin T-shirt go ahead. Look, you can also have anybody you want walk you down. Your best friend, your mother, a close male friend, a teacher that has really helped you, a preacher, whatever. Do what you want.

Answer 2

Yes you can walk yourself down the aisle. I almost wish I had. There was some pretty funky carpet where we got married and it worked a number on my dads vision as he needs bifocals.He nearly fell over and I felt like I was carrying him the whole way at least that's the official story I think he was very nervous >my husband was too he nearly went down I think every one was blaming the floaty wavy carpet by the end of the night. Have a Great Day and Do it your Way then no matter what it will be right.

Answer 3

I suppose you "could" walk down the aisle by yourself. Give your dad some time, he'll probably change his mind at the last minute. You could also get a male relative to walk you down the aisle, like a brother, grandfather, or uncle, if your father absolutely won't.

Answer 4

I am having the same issue. I don't know my father, my brother and fiance don't get along (so that would be weird to have him give me away), and I think it might be weird for my mom to walk me down the aisle. I think it is fine to walk yourself down the aisle, but will that make you happy. Follow your heart. If you want somebody to walk you down the aisle find someone - even if it is your best friend. Good luck. Isn't family fun!!!

Answer 5

Of course you can! That tradition is founded in the whole "my daughter my property" business deal of weddings or the idea that women cannot be independant and go from being followers of their fathers to slaves of their husbands. Personally, I wanted to walk down the aisle by myself, but my dad was upset by that thinking it had to do with giving his blessing, so I'm allowing both of my parents to walk me down the aisle. Why should my mom miss out if it's all about parental blessing? Besides, gives less of an idea of a woman kicking and screaming and being forced into a marriage she doesn't want because her father sold her for a couple of cows and a bicycle.

Answer 6

you can do whatever YOU want at your wedding. I had my step-day walk me down, because my dad was being an A$$. But, I think there are a lot of options: grandpa, mom, brother, friend. Whomever you fell close to. You can also have more than one person--like mom on one arm & brother on the other. If nothing feels right, that's OK too. There's nothing that says "indepedent woman" than one that walk herself dow the aisle. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Ok Now where is your mom in all this? If you dont have anyone to walk you down the aisle. How about your fiances dad? My cousin when he got married to his wife, Her parents were from another country like japan or something out there. Well anyways she got my cousins father to give her away. Yes her father in law gave her away. Just at least she had someone to walk her down. Try that. Hope it helps Good luck

Answer 8

I was uncomfortable having my parents walk me down the aisle because I didn't like the whole "giving away" thing.

I had my parents walk down the aisle together, and then I went down after them. My wedding planner said that is a common thng to do in Jewish weddings (we're not Jewish, but it was good to know it wasn't that wierd).

Answer 9

Yes you are allowed to walk down the aisle alone, or perhaps with your grandfather or even an elder brother. Hell I've heard of people walking down the aisle with their dog.

Answer 10

You sure are having alot of problems with your wedding. Do your parents dislike this boy that much? I think if they had that many problems with the whole thing I would think a few more times about marriage. You can walk by yourself or have someone else walk with you. The whole traditional thing is that someone in your family is "giving" you away to him. Dad or male relative usually. My niece is having her mom walk her down the isle since her dad passed away last Thanksgiving. Did you decide to move out?
