I lost my Dad to Cancer in 2010 - luckily he was alive and well the first time I got married and him giving me away was such a special time. Obviously he can't do it this time round so I've asked my Uncle. Was going to ask my 15 year old son (who'll be 16 in October) but he's quite reserved and doesn't like the limelight too much so thought Uncle was a better choice (plus he was one of my Dad's best friends)
Anyone else in this situation? Who's giving you away? I know I'll cry!!! xx

I lost my Dad nearly 25 years ago, so my mum gave me away the first time I got married. This time tho, I have asked my Uncle as he possibly will never be asked to it as he only has sons lol. The only part my mum was nervous about last time was getting up and giving a speech, so she's quite pleased I didn't ask her this time.

After I left my ex my mum and dad don't speak to me now, their loss not mine! I couldn't choose one brother over the other so I decided to ask my gran to give me away as she's always been there for me since I was small. One small problem I might have to face is that she might not be here in 16 months as she'll be 95 by the time the wedding comes around, but I'll cross that bridge if I have to.

I'm in exactly the same situation. Dad gave me away first time but died 6 years ago. So my 16 year old son is giving me away. He's fairly confident but is happy that his main role is to march me (army cadet!!) up the aisle then his formal roles are over. I'm so sad dad isn't around but am so proud of my lad xx

LynneN78 if unfortunately your gran cant do it can you not ask both your brothers to walk down the isle with you??? there is a risk my dad wont be fit enough or here when i get married since i postponed it so i will ask my brother to do it.

JoannaS that's lovely. It's kinda comforting to know other peeps are in similar situations. My Uncle was so chuffed I'd asked him, thought he was gonna cry - and my Mum was also over the moon, she said Dad would be glad I asked my Uncle too xx
