Honest advice - walking down the aisle

TheDitzyOne, 5 July, 2011 at 23:33 Posted on Planning 0 16

Really value your honest responses ladies to the following:

do you think it'd be daft if I walked down the aisle with my little boy instead of my dad?

I am marrying my little boy's dad, the wedding is in a register office, and we're having a 4pm wedding, so not having the more formal wedding breakfast (mainly because we cant afford it).

Dont worr about being harsh, just after a general idea of what people would think if it happened at a wedding they were attending.

    I think it sounds like a lovely idea! so many brides dont have the traditional Father of the bride escort these days (i had my 2 brothers) and i think it is a lovely tough to have your son walk you down the aisle, I bet he will be as proud as punch!

    It's a great idea.......except how close are to your dad? If you are really close he may be disappointed he won't be walking you down the aisle. If so you could have both. If not your son will do a great job.x

    I think it's a lovely idea. How old is your son? Although as someone else said would your Dad be disappointed that he won't be walking you?

    I think it is a lovely idea, if you wanted to include your Dad as well you could walk down on your Dad's arm but holding your Son's hand on the other side.

    before. my dad said hes happy to walk me down the aisle if i want him to)

    I want to do the same! My little boy is 2 and a half, but I am my dads first daughter to marry and I feel bad suggesting it. If your dad doesnt mind then go for it!!

    I think it's a fab idea! Like you I have been married before (hence my username!) and this time my two boys are going to walk me down the aisle. It didn't seem right having my Dad do it as he'd already done it before. And also like you we are having a Civil Ceremony so I think it's fine ?

    I think it is a lovely idea. I would love to do this but as others have said not sure how my Dad would feel (my 2nd marriage too). I letting my little one walk my mum down the aisle.

    It sounds as if your Dad is fine with it so if it is what you want go for it!

    I like the idea Sherrie H had where your dad gives you away, and your little boy holds your other hand xx

    I think its a beautiful heart-warming idea and i've seen this done a few times - it always brings a tear to everyones eye! My little boy was 18months old when we got married and we held him throughout the ceremony - I couldnt imagine doing it any other way x x
