My dad and My step dad have both died I don't have any one to walk me down the aisle for my wedding?

Question

would it be okay to ask my father in law to do it or my big brother P.S. my mom is still alive

Answer 1

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, hun. I would ask big brother to do it.

Congrats on your wedding!!!

Answer 2

Well My Mom And Dad Walked Me Down the Aisle But You Said Both Dads Past Away So You Could Tell Your Mom & Brother To Do It For You Or Even A Uncle Good Luck:}

Answer 3

Since your mom is still alive, it would be wonderful and exciting to have her walk you down the aisle. My parents are divorced, and while my father was a constant in my life, as I grew older, I realize that my mom has been there day and night, good and bad, mood swings and all. Therefore, mama walked me down the aisle. It was great conversation as well. The sentiment is there and family and friends already know that both your dads are deceased, so it would be even more sentimental and best of all your mom would be thrill that you even asked her. It will be a day you both will cherish forever! Best of Luck...

Answer 4

I am sorry for your loss of both your dad and step dad.

Tradition used to be the bride was walked down the aisle to be "given away" to the groom and his family. This day and age, however, that is no longer the case.

You can walk down the aisle yourself. An independent woman going to meet her future husband. If you still want someone to walk you down the aisle, I'd recommend your brother or even your mom. You could, as a show of family, have both of them do it. It's all a matter of what you feel comfortable with.

Good luck!

Answer 5

If you have a good relationship with the FIL then their is no reason why you could not ask him I have also seen mother's walk ther girls down the aisle. Due to the larger numbers of family that are divorced or in the case of a father passing away. It is happening more and more. Also your big brother could do it to. You have many choices you can do . Who do you want to have walk you down?

Answer 6

You can walk down the aisle by yourself if you are comfortable, or ask your mother. If you are kind of old fashioned and want a man to walk you down how about a close friend, uncle or even your father in law. It would be more like you were escorted down the aisle than given away.

Answer 7

Why do you HAVE to have someone walk you down the aisle? Are you a cow to be given away like a piece of property? Are your legs painted on? Can you not walk a straight line? Who's "giving away" your fiance?

Why do women even still consider this outdated and sexist "tradition" (which is frowned on by the Catholic church and any woman with any self-respect btw)?

There are more important things to stress over for a wedding, trust me.

If you truly feel you need to find a man to "give you away", you'd better expect him to pay a dowry and you'd better be a virgin too.

Assuming you are older, isn't it silly for a grown woman who has lived independently for years to be led down the aisle to her new "owner" (her husband) like a child?

I am walking down the aisle WITH my fiance. We're partners in the Sacrament of Marriage, I'm not a prize for him, I'm his equal partner.

You could also walk alone.

If your mother or brother insist that they would like to do it, and it would mean something to them, only then should you even consider this horrid "tradition".

Answer 8

It's not appropriate for your in laws to walk you in. Your mother or brother can walk you down the aisle. Or you can have both your mother and brother walk you down the aisle as they are the significant people still in your life! Don't forget to have a memorial candle lighting during your ceremony in remembrance of both of your fathers that are no longer with you as a way of acknowledging them as part of your life. Congratulations and Good Luck!

Answer 9

I would say ask your mom, if not then ask your brother or a close uncle or even your grandfather. My father didn't really raise me so I am having my 9 yr. old son walk me down the aisle. Good Luck.

Answer 10

Your Mother must walk you down the aisle, that is the correct ettiquette and I have been to 3 weddings where the brides father and grandfather were both deceased and that is the way to do it. It has to be someone from your family that "gives" you away and who better than your MUm

Answer 11

I would ask Mother and Big Brother to both walk you down the aisle.
