I’m so conflicted! please Help!

Carys, 10 June, 2025 at 18:11 Posted on Planning 0 2
Myself and my older sister have always been very close growing up due to our parents being absent from our lives for many years.


A few years ago my sister and I discussed walking each other down the aisle if either of us ever got married and nothing else was mentioned about it again.
My partner and I have always discussed openly about getting married to each other and what we would want it to look like (even before we were engaged) and I made a suggestion about either walking down the aisle together or on my own. He loves this idea and I think is it so unique and perfectly matches our relationship as we do most things together and have a house and life together already.
The problem is, now we’re engaged and planning the wedding, my sister has brought up that she will be walking me down the aisle as we discussed when we were young. I’m just not sure this is what I want anymore however, really don’t wan to upset her.
Is there a way of incorporating her into the aisle walk or first look while still being able to walk down hand in hand with my partner? PLEASE HELP!!!

    I sometimes think we should raise girls NOT to talk about their weddings until they are actually engaged, because I know so many who have promised various wedding roles to friends and family before they even had a boyfriend on the horizon, and of course, by the time they get engaged, what they want has nearly always changed!

    I think the best thing is to be honest with your sister as soon as possible as the later you tell her your change of mind, the harder it is likely to be for both of you. Hopefully, she will understand that a real life wedding has to incorporate both your and your fiance's wishes, and so this change of plan from your 'imaginary' wedding is not in any way a rejection of her. As you suggest, it would also help if you can come up with an alternative. Could she perhaps travel to the ceremony venue with you and then your fiancé 'takes over' at the entrance? She could then follow behind you (with your bridesmaids, if you are having any). She could also be a witness.

    I totally get how confusing things can get when choosing the right streaming option. I recently came across dooflix and it really helped me sort things out — maybe it could help you too.
