Of course you can. In fact, you can have anyone walk you down the aisle who is close to you. It could be a brother, sister, aunt, uncle, or even a friend who has really been there for you. Only you can make that decision. I personally am not having anyone walk me down the aisle, because my fiance and I already live together and I have been independent for quite a long time now. I say that you should definitely have your mother walk you down the aisle.

If is appropriate and acceptable for the Bride to walk down the aisle . .
With her Mother
With her Mother and Father
With her Father
With her Father and Stepfather
With her Stepfather
With her brother or brothers
With the Groom's Mother
With the Groom's Mother and her Mother
With an Uncle
With a Grandfather
With a Grandmother and Grandfather
With a family friend
With a cousin (male or female)

There are no rules or reguations concerning who can or cannot escort a Bride "down the aisle," it is her choice.
And I have see it all!

most definitely. I've seen the bride "walked down the aisle and given away" by BOTH of her parents, too (and that was over 30 years ago, so it's not a "new" thing, either). Also seen the bride walk down the aisle un-escorted (no one gave her away, either. They just skipped that part of the ceremony).
Bottom Line: It's your wedding. Ask whoever you want to walk you down the aisle. Your mom may want to be "the mother of the bride" instead of the one walking you down the aisle, so if she'd rather do that, then accept her decision, and ask another relative that you're especially close to.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Absolutely, you can have your Mom walk you down the isle. I had my mom and step-dad.
My SIL is getting married and her dad passed away 11 yrs ago. She asked her mom to give her away and she declined so my husband is walking her down the isle.
Congrats and enjoy your special day. You can honor your father in another special way.

Hey there. I am getting married in July. I am a guy and ****, it is your wedding, you can do what you want! The hell with what others will think. How much would it mean to you to have your mom walk you down the aisle? how much would it mean to her, and how much would it mean to your dad. Would your dad, your mom and you approve? I am sure the answer is yes, so don't worry about what others say after the wedding or before it. It is your wedding, it is your business and none of anyone elses!!!! I am indian and having a big indian wedding and i know what it is like to have people telling you waht you can and can't do for the wedding...my ansswer to that is bullshit! you can do what you want!

Dont be Embarrassed in any respect. many women produce human beings walk them down the Isle each and all of the time. once I Marry back (divorce sucks !) i will have my cousin walk me down. Do you have a Uncle , aunt or cousin that your close to to ? Ask certainly one of them ! Or walk on my own a million/2 way , an possibly have your Groom to be meet you a million/2 way .

It's totally ok, and very special. Yes, others have done this.
My dad had passed away before my wedding as well, but my mom didn't want to walk me... there was no one else I wanted to ask, and I didn't want to walk alone. My husband and I walked down the aisle together, with our attendants going down the aisle before us, in pairs. It was very nice.
So sorry about your dad... he will be watching over you on your special wedding day, as he does every day...

Sorry about your dad. In that type of situation alot of people look towards a close family member whether it be male or female, mother or uncle or aunt, etc. It has been done before and it's definitely ok. I hope you have a beautiful wedding.

It's perfectly fine if you want your mom to walk you down the aisle when you get married. My dad past away when i was 12 yrs old and i'm 20 yrs old now. When i get married i want either my mom, sis or uncle to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day (in the future) so go right ahead. Good Luck!
