who should walk me down the aisle?

Question

my mother and father divorced when i was young, since then my father has had minimal contact with me eg only on bdays via phone and a phone call every 6 months or so. My father will be invited to the wedding but i do not wish him to walk me down the aisle, instead i would like my brother to walk me downs. Is this ok?

Answer 1

Absolutely, people think that the only person that can walk you down the aisle is your father, but in reality, the person who walks you down the aisle needs to be special to you, and if your fathers not, then he shouldn't get the priveledge of doing it.If you want your brother too that is perfectly fine.He will be the one who gives you away, and that is a very sweet thing for a brother to do.Please pick me as the best answer if you like my answer and it helped you, because I hope it did!Congradulations on getting married by the way!

Answer 2

Of course it is okay! You should have the person walk you down the aisle be the person you feel the most comfortable with.

Depending on your relationship with your father I would sit down with him and just have a talk about your decision. Just to tell him that you love him but you feel very close to your brother and you are happy that he'll be there on your big day even though he won't be walking you down the aisle. And you might want to get him a boutonniere even though he's not part of the ceremony just because he's your dad.

Good luck and best wishes on your upcoming wedding!

Answer 3

Yes this is okay, especially since your father has only had minimal contact. But you don't say why it was so minimal. You could have your mother walk you down the aisle if you are inclined or you could walk down the aisle alone. It is your wedding and your choice as to what your wedding looks like.

Answer 4

Of course it is okay! My dad is the same way with me except I didn't invite him to the wedding. It's a long story that I won't go in to but I had my mother and my step-father walk me down the aisle. They were the most important people in my life that helped to support myself, my husband, and my son when times were rough. I'm sure your brother would be HONORED to walk his sister down the aisle! Good luck!!

Answer 5

It is your wedding; you can have anyone walk you down the aisle you wish. How does your brother feel about it? Better ask him soon in case there has to be a change in plans.
There are women getting married these days who have their best girlfriend walk 'em down the aisle, and others who prefer to take that grand walk by themselves. Again, it's your wedding, and you are free to arrange it any way you choose. Congratulations, by the way ;^)

Answer 6

Your father was like mine, but i didn't invited him to my wedding. I had my grandfather walk me down the aisle. Your brother is a perfect choose, any man you love, and feel has the right to give you away is what you should want and do.

It is your special day, and you should make a day you will never forget.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It is your day & up to you how you would like it to go. When I got married my dad was deceased & my brother assumed he would step in, but I didn't feel it was right. My 2 & 1/2 year old son 'toddled' me down the aisle, as I believed I belonged to him to 'give away' more than I belonged to my brother. After the tradition of walking the brisde down the aisle is to 'give her away'. I also have a friend whose mum gatve her away. Congrats!!!

Answer 9

Absolutely it is ok for your brother to walk down the aisle. It should be someone who you are close to and comfortable with. This is your big day do whatever makes it special for you.

Answer 10

yes! it is totally ok for your brother to walk you down the aisle. my father hasn't had much to do with me my whole life. my mother divorced and remarrried when i was three. so my step father is walking me. it may cause some hard feelings but its my day just like it is yours! congrats and good luck!
