I am stuck at what to do, My Dad hasn't really been involved in my life much for the past 11 years and we don't have a close relationship. Originally he had said he wasn't coming to my wedding, but appears to have changed his mind. I have heard he thinks he is walking me down the aisle but I don't feel quite right about this for above reasons, I was also going to ask my uncle as he has always been there for me. I am afraid this will make the situation very awkward, either that or one of my brothers. So I am really stuck at what to do. I don't like upsetting people and don't want to make things uncomfortable, but I also don't want to walk down the aisle on my own.
Its your day! Have it your way if your dad doesnt understand hes not worth your time xx
I have the same problem with my dad, I'm going to ask my son's to walk me down the aisle. It's your Big Day do what's best for you x
I totally agree, it's your day, make it clear you do not wish for him to do it. I was going to have my grandad walk me down the aisle xx
My brother walked me down the aisle. It's your day! I cannot stress that enough!!
I had the same problem, my dad has not been in my life really so when we started planning the wedding he piped up! I just said I won't my step dad is walking me down as he's been there through everything. Do what's best for you it's your day
I'm going through a similar predicament in that I've asked my mum to walk me down the aisle and my dad isn't happy about it. Frankly, I feel like if he wanted to do it so badly, maybe he should have been there for me more from the beginning, not just since I got enhanced. He's made it pretty clear he won't be coming and tbh I'm relieved! I know it's hard to hurt people but don't forget all those times he has hurt you. Do what feels right for you. Those who mind don't matter and those who don't matter mind. X
Do whatever makes you comfortable and whatever you want to do. If you are worried and want to placate your Father why not give him a smaller role in the wedding like being an usher or such? Just remember its your day and if he can't respect that then he shouldn't attend.
Totally different situation hunni but my Dad is no longer with us.... I was going to ask my uncle to walk me down the isle but have decided to walk down by myself with my sister behind me. Do what's right for you xx
Quite frankly if your dad is only piping up to step up to his fartherly duties now just when everyone is watching, he doesn't deserve it, and who cares if he's upset about, he should have tried harder. The person giving you away is someone who should be respected by both you, your family and your h2bs family and it doesn't should like your dad fits the bill. My sil to be had my h2b walk her down the aisle instead f their dad who was in attendance at the wedding. The honour should go to someone who has been by your side no matter what! You will fill happier for doing it that way. Good luck!
