Question Walking down the aisle alone?

I was wondering if there are any brides out there who are going to be walking down the aisle alone? My father died when I was very young and my mother never remarried. I have a few uncles but all are very elderly and I am not very close with any of them. I have a brother who is a few years younger than me but him and I don't really talk very much or anything like that. I though about having my mom walk me down the aisle but I don't know about that either. I know she is going to be an emotional wreck and I honestly don't think she would make it down the aisle without breaking down. I was planning on having my brother escort my mother down the aisle. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

You need to ask your mom about this one. If she raised you on her own, she kind of deserves that honor if she wants it...she might do better than you think.
Another option is for your brother to escort your mother in and walk back to walk you down the aisle.
Don't stress, it will work out fine however you decide to handle this.

I am walking in on my own...But its more for the reason that this is my second marriage and I'm not really being "given away" this time. I am also much more distant from my father than I was 7 years ago and it wouldn't feel right this time around.
I think you should first run it past your mom and if she doesn't think she could do it, get suggestions from her. If there is someone else, like a brother or grandfather or uncle that you are close to, one of them would be good. If not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with making an entrance on your own.
Best wishes

I am going down the aisle alone. I went back and forth on this one and finally decided it was the best alternative I could come up with other than my FH and I walking together (which defeats the entire point of him not seeing me in the dress... blah blah blah) My mom and dad were divorced when I was very young and my dad has been in and out of my life since then, but in the last 6 or so years he has been making an attempt, so I was going to have him walk me, but then my mom made a big to do about it saying she didn't want him to blah blah blah, so I told her fine I would walk myself so that no one would be upset. Then about a month ago (i am now one month out from wedding date) she goes, if you want your father to walk you down the aisle then i am ok with that b/c it is your day. But rather than deal with people's hurt feelings I just decided to stick with my original plan of walking myself.

Hope this has helped. Just remember, its your day, if you want to walk alone, then do it.
