I am getting married this fall. My father passed away some years ago, grandparents are also passed. My mother and I have not spoken in years. Since this is my second wedding my idea was to have my pre teen son walk me down the isle. He is excited about the idea but we have been told that he should be a ring bearer and I should walk by myself. I feel that my son (only child) has been there for me every step of the way in our lives and he deserves this. Would this be appropriate?

By all means have your son walk you down the aisle, and who cares what others think, this is your happy day. and your son does deserve to give his mother away in marriage. it will be something that you both will remember for the rest of your lifes.

He is too old to be a ring bearer. I think it is a wonderful idea for your pre teen son to walk you down the isle. It is perfectly appropriate. Good Luck

By all means, have Your Wedding Your Way. Who better
could take your deceased father's place than his own direct
decendant.
When my former sister-in-law, mom of 3 remarried a man
with 3 kids, also, the oldest boy walked with her and two
behind, and the older girl had walked with dad, 2 behind.
Bride's mom was in another country, all other parents
were deceased. They put their wedding together and
nothing has pulled them apart 20 years later.
Ring bearer and flower girl can be family or friend's kids
about age 5 to do a good job.

Your son... he had been there for you since you can remember. He is a little too old to be the ring bearer they only go up to 6 years old. But it your wedding you can do whatever you like but someties we have to be real with ourselves, do my 13 year old son loo good walking down the aisle with the ring on the pillow. Let him be the person who gives you away or let thim be (not sure of the correct terminology for it as a male) your maid of honor whatever they call it.
Good Luck

There is NO reason why this young man cannot have the honor of walking his mother down the aisle.
Unless he is under the age of 7 he's too old to be a ring bearer anyway.
Tell those who wish to take this great moment of respnsibility from your son to mind their own business. This is your wedding & something between you & your son.

it is your selection yet often the bridesmaids walk down the isle themselves and the groomsmen are waiting up on the alter. We did something somewhat distinctive for my sisters wedding ceremony... The bridesmaids began off jogging with the help of themselves however the groomsmen have been waiting a million/2 way down the isle to stroll with the bridesmaids the the remainder of how.

Your son should defiantly walk you down the isle. I will be getting married either in June or Sept. of this year(second marriage as well). My eight year old son is walking me down the isle and my son and daughter, who is 10 will be giving me away. This wedding is just as important for your son as it is for you. He deserves to be a huge part.

Your son is to old to be a ring bearer. I think it would be awesome for him to walk you down as well as give you away. This is a big thing for him to. I think children should give their mothers away because it basically says they are ok with the new marriage and it also lets them be involved which is very important I think in second marriages.

I think it would be most appropriate and futhermore..........it's your wedding and you should do what you want.
If your son is excited by all means go ahead with your plan and he does deserve to give the bride (mom) away. He will always be there every step of the way for you.He's your son!!!
Good luck and all the very best in your new life to your son and you.
God Bless.
