Giving away

Hi Kayleigh! My wonderful nephew is giving me away! Sadly my Dad passed and he asked my mum if it was his only boy in the family to give away all 3 of his girls when the time came. It does not matter who gives you away. If my nephew didn’t want to do it, which he does, as we are very close, I was going to be walking down the aisle with my dog! It really is up to you and I think your daughter is an amazing choice!

Your Daughter sounds a perfect choice. I have shot many weddings where there was not a Dad to walk down the isle with, its not that unusual. You could just walk down on your own or your partner could meet you halfway .

Hi I’m getting married in May and my son is giving me away (sadly no parents around anymore) and when my daughter gets married, it will be me escorting her. She was also at a wedding last year where the bride simply walked down on her own so it really doesn’t matter, whatever you want and what makes you happy

You can walk down alone or with anyone you want. Or you could do what we did and meet your OH at the door and walk down the aisle together!

View quoted message Thanks you Kayleigh and whatever you choose will be perfect. Enjoy. X

My SIL walked down with her son (8 at the time), my mum walked down with her brother because her dad died when she was very young. Your daughter sounds like a perfect choice

I’m having my sons give me away. My father gave me away on my first wedding but this time I’d like my boys to do it. Do what makes you happy. It’s your day ❤️

Yeah, I’m not having anyone give me away both my parents are dead. It doesn’t matter who it is or whether you stick to tradition or not as it’s your day, so do whatever you are comfortable with.

Sounds like your daughter is a very lovely idea. My parents are separated and I’m a lot closer to my Step Dad, however I know it would really hurt my Dad if I didn’t walk down the aisle with him, so I’m having neither! I don’t mind the idea of walking up the aisle on my own

My Best Friend is giving me away as I have no relationship with my blood family. You can ask whoever you would like

That would be so lovely to walk down the aisle with your daughter! Go for it

Other options could be to walk in on your own, or to walk in with your fiance!

I'm getting married in June and my eldest brother is giving me away as my father passed over a decade ago. My mother is one of the witnesses.

It's down to you who walks you down the aisle

View quoted message I love this! I am in the same boat!

View quoted message Of course your daughter! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi, I no longer have my parents, I am getting married in June this year. I am getting my two sons to give me away

That's perfect but in my experience depending on the amount of guests you have is that isles are not usually that wide and are enough for 2 but 3 is a squeeze - depending also on your dress style. If this is a problem they could do a relay and swap at half way.

My sons giving me away
As my dads passed and I don’t have anything to do with my step dad

Hi there,
I’m estranged from my dad (lots of trauma when he’s around) so I’ve not even told him I’m getting married. I was raised by mum but she has mobility issues she’s unsure if she will manage the walk. She’d like one of her brothers ( my uncles) to walk me or my actual brother ( but he hates public speaking). I am thinking of having my eldest daughter walk me instead as she’s my maid of honour and is planning to do a speech anyway x

Hi, I’m in a quite not similar but similar situation. My parents are both deceased and I’m getting married next year. I have a son who’s 14 years old and will be 16 by te time of the wedding. I already asked him to walk me down the aisle and then stay with me as “my best man”. Also he’ll be the one doing the speech and the dance in lieu of my dad.

I feel it is so special to have your kid (no matter if it’s a daughter or a son) involved in the wedding in such an important and significative way. I am sure she’ll be delighted to be there for you and be part of this new family beginning.

Omg! Absolutely get your daughter to walk you down the aisle! I was 20ish when my mum got married and instead of being 'just' a bridesmaid, I sang her down the aisle, and as a daughter who's mum is her best friend, being able to be a part of her wedding day in that much of an intimate way is something I'll treasure forever. She'll love it and it'll be so special to her as well as yourself!
