I think definitely. How honoring to the mother! You can do whatever will be most meaningful for you. That's how the ceremony should be: a reflection of you and what is meaningful to you and your spouse.

back then the father would give the daughter away as a sign that he was releasing responsibility to the soon to be husband its UN heard of today but the father is the head of the home and when the girl gets married then the husband is the head of the home and so the father is handing over the reigns to the husband. My sister got married and my dad was the pastor and so my uncle gave her away and then another wedding I went too my friend hated her dad and so her mother gave her away so its up to the person usually if the father is passed on then the brother gives her away

Without a doubt - the tradition of the dad giving the daughter away is symbolic from the times when women were thought of as property - the head of the house (the father) was disengaging himself from her, he was giving her into another family. Obviously this doesnt really apply today but the tradition has stayed on and changed into something much more personal and intimate. It is your special day, how it goes is completely up to you. I have heard weddings where the mother, grandfather, uncle and even a close friend have given the bride away.

Of course, the closest person is the one who gives the daughter away, usually the father but the mother can also.

Yes! For sure! It is your wedding and your day.
Do what you like!
I walked my daughter down the aisle 5 years ago when she got married.
Although they did not have the line about "Who gives this woman to this man?"
Also I am getting married again April 08 and my 10 yr old son is "walking" me down the aisle, because my father will be 90 and not capable of doing it for me.

yes, it is just as touching when the mother walks her daughter down the aisle . it is so beautiful to see that. especially if the father is not available. ive been to weddings where the brother has done it.

It's completely up to the people involved. A tradition of the father "giving away" the bride is just that - a tradition. Anyone can give the bride away, she can walk down the aisle on her own, or together with the groom.

Yes! My friend's father died 7 or 8 years ago and she got married this summer, and her mother gave her away. I've heard of it being done even before that wedding.

Of course it is, it would be special!
My dad had died two years before my wedding. I asked my Mom to walk me down the aisle, but she didn't want to (not to be mean or anything, but she just wanted to be MOM).
Well, I didn't want anyone else to do it, and I didn't want to walk alone.
So my husband and I walked up the aisle together, with our attendants walking in as couples before us. It was great!

Absolutly! Make your wedding your own. You can have whoever is special to you give you away. Good Luck and best wishes.
