oh, really?

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.

Number1: Because you don't want him to?

Number2: Cos you're not doing that traditional stuff?

Number3: Cos your dad is a pain in the arse?

Errr... Will think of more while at shops for milk!

Argh!

[baratron]

Number 4: I am not property.

Number 5: Even if I was property, I do not belong to my father!

Indeed, I couldn't remember what the purpose of "giving away" was cos my brain ignores all that shite.

Hell, my wee sister who is Miss Traditional herself isn't doing the giving away thing at all. Solves a lot of problems

"The only reason I would need assistance down the aisle of the church would be if I was in the wheelchair you are dead set against me using. Stop being an arse about the chair, and I might let you push me in it."

[baratron]

LOL!

Actually, we're getting married in a registry office, and my wheelchair is electric. But the THOUGHT of saying that to him is so funny that I can't stop laughing!

(Hope you're doing okay, btw. *hugs*).

[kshandra]

Glad I could amuse. (And don't ask me why I defaulted to church here...my own wedding wasn't even in a church!)

I'm...still distinctly uncomfortable, but not quite as scary as I was earlier. Thanks for asking. *hugs*

[artremis]

i was thinking of something long these lines - maybe tell him if he could only to come down the aisle with you if you were both in wheelchairs (for the symmetry)?

[alexmc]

Because the marriage will actually take place in mid air with jet packs and so no walking will be required.

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...)

[baratron]

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.

Or you and Richard are going to walk in together.
