Question about walking down the aisle...

[hchan]

I'm just going to get to the point with this post; my dad died when I was 6, and though I like my step dad, I think it would feel awkward to walk down with him, considering our past. Me and him did NOT get along for the 13~ years I lived at home, but as soon as I moved out, he became a lot cooler. Unfortunately, we are not exactly close, despite me

my dad died 10 years ago so my sister and i both had this dilemma as well. my sister got married a couple years ago and chose to walk down the aisle with one of our uncles who she was close to. i have decided to walk down the aisle with my little brother- he's now 18 and it just feels right for me. if it weren't for him i would consider walking down with my mom- i know it would mean a lot to her.

another option i have heard of people doing is walking down with their significant other. i think that is really sweet too.

i think you should do whatever your gut tells you. :)

That sounds so nice =) My family is really
spread out so it does limit my options, but I
think even if my uncle was still around, or if
I had brothers, I'd still end up just with mom xD
But I posted this wanting to hear other stories...
thank you for sharing =)

Why do you type that way? All split up like a poem? It's really annoying to try to read.

[hchan]

Ahaha. Sorry, it is a pretty bad habit,
I guess. It comes from typing on this really
wide art site I use, and also, doing comics,
I end up doing this as well for the word
bubbles.

My parents divorced when I was young and my dad dropped contact with us after a while. He's not even invited to our wedding let alone walking me down the aisle. My brother is 8 years older than me and he was my world growing up. I can't imagine having anyone else but him walk me down the aisle. I also went to a wedding last month where the bride's father was either not involved or passed away(I'm not quite certain and she doesn't like talking about it) and her brother and mother both walked her down. Absolutely have your mom walk you down!

Ouch. =( My mom's pop was like that too.
He recently started feeling guilty tho and
has been trying to reconnect with the family...
only took him like 30+ years =P

And yeah, i was pretty sure it would be my mom,
but all these comments just helped solidify it =)

My fiancee is having her two brothers walk her.

Sounds like you want your mom, which is a great idea.

DH and I walked in together. My Gma gave me hella shit for it, but I wouldn't have done it any other way. My parents had ZERO to do with my decision to marry, and to whom, that I didn't see why one of them should walk me in.

[hchan]

LMAO aww. You know, until the comments here, I'd
never heard of walking down with your lovie. XD I
feel like that would be ok for me too, if my mom
for some crazy reason ends up saying no lol... I
am pretty sure me and my FH are having some pics
taken before the ceremony, so he'll be seeing me
beforehand anyway xD

Have a visual:

Holy crap that is the coolest attire I have
ever seen. You look so pretty and classy and
he just looks...BADASS. LOL

What was the theme, if you don't mind me
asking =0?

I grew up with a single mom and I have never met my dad. I walked down the aisle with my mom and it wasn't strange at all.
