My father thinks he's going to walk me down the aisle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Please comment below with all of the reasons why this isn't going to be happening.

1) There is no aisle
2) If there were, I would be making my own way down it, kthx
3) Even if that needed a wheelchair
4) And even if I wanted a person, you didn't make the top 100 shortlist
5) There is no aisle

(tempted to add (6) There is no wedding, at least until after the event...)

I love your number 4! ♥

I *have* thought that a ceremony involving a woman supported by her mother and a man supported by his father could be particularly moving. And with same-gender parents, it would seem much less that the offspring is "owned by" the parent.

However, we're not doing it. We want to be together at the start, to symbolize that this is the formalizing of an existing relationship, NOT the beginning of a new one.

When artan_eter and I got married, we each walked to center with our pre-existing spouses.

(When artan_eter and whispercricket got married, they were each walked to the chuppah by both their parents. And his parents didn't even kill each other.)

My mum walked me up the aisle, where she collected a son in law.

At Lis and my wedding, each of us came in attended by both of our parents. We didn't even think about the whole "giving away" and "property" and so forth aspects of it -- we just didn't want any of the four of them to miss out on that part.

Obviously, doing it that way completely changes the context and dynamic. Worked for us, which doesn't mean that it would work for any other set of people. :)
