First of all, I think you should rethink marrying ANYONE who says you're stupid for having an original thought. Good or bad, right or wrong, its YOUR opinion!
Now to address your question, I think it might be more appropriate to pick one nephew or the other. I think that two people, plus yourself walking down a church aisle might be far too cumbersome (especially when you factor in the bulk of your dress).

Your fiancee should understand your situation. He really should be more understanding and try compromising with you. Before my husband and I decided on a destination wedding, my nephews( 10/8) were walking me down the aisle. I think that it would be really cute. If you can't agree on it... maybe you could just decide to walk yourself. That is what I ended up doing in the end... and it was fine. In fact, everyone loved it... especially my husband who said he didn't have to see anyone but me. Good luck and congrats.

How traditional is your wedding? If you feel like you absolutely have to have a man walk you down the aisle, I would recommend that it is a man or men that you are close to, to bear some sort of significance. My best friend had a VERY Catholic traditional wedding with a HUGE wedding party, and her dad died when she was 12. I honestly cannot remember who walked her down the aisle, so...seriously, it is YOUR day and you should do what feels right to you- even if this means having your mom or close friend walk you down the aisle.

Okay firstly your finacee shouldn't be calling you stupid...bad start to your married life together.
secondly if you want them to walk you down the aisle that is a lovely gesture.
If however you are just doing it becasue you think a male needs to walk you down teh aisle then I'd rethink.
How about doing it by yourself, your brother...or instead get your grrom to meet you half way.
Think of what is right for you and who you would be most comfortable with. If the nephews are it - then let it be.
Felicitations to you:-)

Why does your fiance think you're stupid? That's what has me more concerned.
He may disagree with your decision or not understand you're reasoning, but stupid???
Sit down & discuss this with him calmly & rationally. I see no harm in your nephews walking you down the aisle, even if they're young boys.
Rather than your nephews walk you down the aisle, you can walk it alone, or meet your fiance at the halfway point & finish the aisle together.

I'm all with Reality Check about a fiancee who thinks you're stupid!
But if you can get past that, then what about Dixie's suggestion to ask your Mom? And I really don't think a tux is necessary. The preacher could just ask "Who stands with this woman..." and it could be your Mom, beatifully dressed in her Mother-of-the-bride dress.( My sister had both of my parents with her and it was really nice.) If that won't work, then by all means, go with two nephews. It's your day, and your fiancee sounds like he needs some practice in supporting your wishes. Remind him that a happy bride makes a happy groom!

Do what you want. All that is important is that you and your man say your vows. If you have a strong bond with your nephews, then by all means have them walk you down the aisle. It is just a symbolic gesture anyway...
I say tell you guy how you feel and that it would mean alot to you.
He loves you, he will understand eventually....

If you feel that you want your nephews to walk you down the aisle then go ahead and do it, this is your special day and you should choose who want to walk you down.

I think it is a charming and a wonderful idea. Family is the important thing, not just the tradition.
By the way, if your fiance says you are stupid about anything and is not willing to listen to your wishes then I might be re-thinking this wedding entirely. Remember, he is going to be your life partner and equal and he needs to see that as well. Love does not belittle.

If your mom is like me,She would be glad to put on a tux and walk her daughter down the aisle.Why don't daughters ever think mom wouldn't do it? I gave birth to her,I raised her, I set up with her at night when she was sick,I cooked ,cleaned behind her and helped her with her homework.I took her where she needed to go and I stood behind her when she was in the right...Why shouldn't I be the one to give her away? And she was a beautiful bride...
