What would be a good way to approach my walking down the aisle alone?

Question

(Father/Mother/Stepfather/Stepmother were negligent parents, and basically I'm against tradition if it's a facade for underlying truth.)

Answer 1

When u reach the point were u wanna walk down the aisle....have the music stop so everyone looks back... take a good 30 seconds and look at everyone and let them check you out... then begin walking down the aisle... hold ur head high and know that ur the most beautiful person there... it will make u feel soo special..

Answer 2

Just tell everyone that you have thought really hard about what the "walking down the aisle with someone giving you away" really means, and you have decided that you are the only one you has the power to give yourself away... so that is what you will be doing when you walk down the aisle without anyone else to make the decision for you.

Answer 3

Speaking from experience, I too walked the aisle alone. I was completely nervous when the march started playing and I had just turned the corner and saw my husband to be, then things were perfect. Everyone stands up when you first enter and to tell you the truth, you don't even look at them, you don't even notice them. The focus was completely on my husband standing waiting to take my hand.

You can do it---it will be the best thing you have accomplished, and then when you see your hubby there---it will be all good.

Answer 4

If your parents are against it, explain to them that it is what you want. Its your special day so it should be exactly how you want it. It may be a little nerve wrecking walking down the aisle with everyone looking at you. Just keep your eyes on your soon-to-be husband and forget that there is anyone else in the room. He's the only important one!

Answer 5

Plenty of brides walk the aisle alone, so you don't really need to justify it to anyone. If any of your parents or step-parents are expecting to walk you down the aisle, you should be clear with them right now. Tell them that you plan to walk alone, and it's not intended as a slight to anyone, it's just what you prefer.

Answer 6

Here's what I'm doing...just because I really have never gotten along with my father, I am walking 1/4 of the aisle myself and my fiancee is going to meet me the rest of the way, I thought it was a nice idea.

Answer 7

Remember the scene in "The Sound of Music" where Maria walks down the aisle to marry Captain Von Trapp? I can't really think of anything more majestic. Isn't that the self-assurance of which little girls dream?

Answer 8

This will be beautiful. Smile, act confident and ENJOY. I personally think in this time, it is the very best way for a bride to come down the aisle. Best wishes for a wonderful life together.

Answer 9

Your the Bride!! You can do whatever you want to do. That day is supposed to be your day.if you are afraid of what they are going to say, just tell them you don't want to hurt anyone's feeling by picking one over the other. That's what I'm going to do. Even though my step-dad has been there for me, when my biological father hasn't. I still couldn't pick one over the other. And if your against tradition; why bother with a wedding at all and just elope...you can always have a reception later to celebrate your marriage and invite all your friends and whatever family you want!

Answer 10

I was married at a really old church with a two doors on the front-one on the far right and one on the far left. My husband came in through the left door and waited for me to come in through the right door then we walked down the aisle together. my dad didn't got to my wedding and i was so happy to have my man by my side.
