Hi slightly nervous about walking down the aisle as my grandad cant always see properly and im petrified he will stand on my dress and it rip or worse since hes 70, him fall over. Whats the best way to walk down the aisle so this is not an issue? attached is dress to refresh memories... its quite big which is where the problem is. H2B hasnt seen the dress but he is registered as blind too due to tunnel vision and all three of us are kind of worried about getting around.

Thanks hun. Just seen on four weddings that the bride and father walked down with arms slightly out. Maybe i could walk down the aisle with my grandad like this. It looks more formal which im not sure about, but it may give him a little more space? hes started getting botox on his eyes... not for cosmetic reasons as the doses are small, just to try to keep them open so hopefully this will mean he worries less as he will be able to see that bit better. h2b has accepted hes bound to stand on it bless but will try and make sure that he dances etc in socks instead of shoes just incase awwwww.

Does your dress actually have a train?

ryhope can I ask where you got ur invites from as I have fallen in love with them. did you make them or order them

thats a good idea... i dont know what side hes supposed to stand anyways,.. never thought about that one x

The father walks to the bride's right. In case you don't know, here's the drill: They come down the aisle with the bride's right hand on her father's arm or hand. If it's the hand it's on the back of his hand which is held slightly elevated, palm down. When they arrive at the altar the groom, who is waiting to one side at the place before the altar (on the right) waits until they stop. The groom steps forward when the father extends his right hand and they shake hands. The father then takes his right hand and gently lifts the bride's hand from his hand or arm and places it on the groom's left hand which he extends. The father then steps back and then to the left side behind the bride. The groom steps forward and half turns to take the place of the father of the bride. If he can do this without tears in his eyes, he's a tougher man than I.

Just got that off google but do whatever suits you.

I've only just found out myself and I'm now trying to work out what will work best for us lol.

yeah i might take the hoop... dont want to show him the actual dress but waking in the hoop is a good idea. Thanks. thats really useful.

haha I have a friend that keeps asking Kev if he is sure he is doing the right thing and that he thinks he should get his mental state of mind checked before he says I do.

Lol I have it real good so I can't complain.

But then we can get bird flu ;0)

lmao i don't mind suffering with wine flu, mine seems to think that having a cold mean's his hands don't work anymore eg washing up, helping take the washing in, how convenient. When we have a bad cold though they think we're still superwoman lol x
