Wedding Forum - Give me away...

You just have to be honest and he should understand. It may be harsh but it's your wedding day and you can have whoever you like give you away :)

Agree with the others and better to do it sooner rather than later so there is not any false expectation xx

Of course you're not wrong for asking or wanting your mum to do it - if your mum has earned that privilege then she has every right to be the one to walk you down the aisle. Your dad may be upset, but like GF said, there is still the father daughter dance if you wanted to involve him that way? :) honesty is the best policy, I'd just make it clear as early as possible xx

Hey Georgina, I'm in the same position.

I haven't decided how to tell him but he doesn't even know I'm engaged yet!

I think I'm just going to be honest but I'm hoping he's not expecting to be doing it anyway otherwise that's going to be awkward.

Let me know how you get on :) I'm putting it off a bit yet xx

That wouldnt go down well with my dad. I'll let it sink in that I'm getting married first then tell him after. Telling him in the same conversation would be a bad move x

Just explain that because you feel closer to your mom you want her to give you away but still want the father daughter dance and speeches. If your honest I'm sure he will understand x

Be honest and explain that you would really like your mum to walk you and then find something else in which he can do for you.
