I want my mom and stepdad to walk me down the aisle because my mom is really the person that raised me. I heard only Jewish families do this and I am not Jewish.

It is a Jewish tradition, but there are a lot of other brides who choose this option too. You don't have to be Jewish to borrow the tradition and if that is what you want then go for it.

Of course not. Just because it may be something that is traditionally done by one religion doesn't make it bad etiquette for others. If having both your mom and stepdad walk you down the aisle, then you have your walk down the aisle with the both of them. It's your day. If it's what you want and what feels right to you, you can't go wrong.

It isn't bad etiquette for the mother and father to walk a bride down the aisle. A wedding is yours and you should do what you want, to make it the day that you want. You shouldn't worry about if others have done it before or what religion it's done in. It's your wedding and you need to do what you want to make it the day you've been dreaming about. Brides now of days walk down the aisle with anything from the parents to pets or by themselves. It's whatever you want.

It is your wedding---do what you want! I think it is a great thing to have both of them walk you down the aisle. I have been to wedding where the bride has been escorted by her father, a brother, a dog, a family friend, her grandfather, and several where she has walked alone. Do what you want for your special day.

Tradition is usually the dad walking the daughter down. Coming from a mom, when my daughter asked me to walk with her & my husband I was so honored & proud. And no sweetie, we're not Jewish. Have both of your parents do the honor & enjoy your day.

That is not true, lots of brides have both of their parents walk them down the aisle and give them away. It's not bad etiquette at all.
If that is what you want to do, then I think it's a wonderful idea!
Good luck!

I was married in a very traditional hispanic wedding and my mother and father walked me halfway down the isle and his parents walked him halfway too. We met in the middle of the isle where our parents gave us words of wisdom and then my furture husband and I walked down the isle together after our parents gave us to each other. Do what you want, it's your day and always remember that!!! Good Luck

My mother walked me down the aisle - just me and mom.
She raised me and she deserved the honor of getting rid of me, oops! I mean giving me away!
You could have your step dad walk you half way down, hand you to mom, and mom will give you to your groom. I have seen that before and it is real nice. Everyone is important that way.

You can have your whole family if you think they will fit. The only requirment now is that they are close to you in some way. People have friends, sons, brothers...why not a mother if she's up for it?
