My dad passed away when I was 11. His family I've rarely seen my entire life and his dad passed nearly 2 years ago. Would you walk down the isle or choose someone else. I thought about asking my uncle (mums bro) as he was my dads best mate and then there is my surrogate gandad jeff. But I don't want to piss off my dads brothers who I would also like. Origionally I just wanted to walk alone but my mum keeps going on at me how I can't do that. Part of me really wants to walk with someone special but at the same time the person who should be there isn't. What would you do?

i would walk down with who ever i was closer to. If not and it would cause problems then y not your mum or best friend? x

aw that is sad huni, i would do what feels right to you, you can have them both walk you down, one on each arm, that would be lovely and special too. but if you want to walk on your own then disregard anyone elses opinion and do it, it is your day after all. i am walking on my own as my dad isn't coming and it should be him, so i am giving myself away. it will be emotional however you do it, but do what you makes you happy. :) xx
Finally reunited with the love of my life
Never to part again
This Saturday I will finally be Mrs Codling!

My sil's mum gave her away... do whatever is right for you xx
ive chosen my granda to walk me down the aisle as my dad isnt invited to the wedding - as my granda is the guy who has been there for me and my sisters since my dad left. Its completely up to you who you chose! x
There is nothing so sweet in life, as loves young dream!
CommentAuthorKerrylou
My mum's walking me down the aisle - I couldn't choose between my bio dad and my stepdad because I knew it would upset someone somewhere and I don't want that. I would have had my gaga do it but sadly he's no longer with us. It's whoever you feel is the best person for the 'job' Personally, in absence of your dad and grandad I'd go with mum xxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

i was going to have my mum give me away as my dad died when i was 4, this was until i relized how much it ment to my adopted dad he was made up when i told them my plans, he also lost a leg recently so is working hard to make sure he can :)
You should choose who you want rememeber you decion and you cant keep everyone happy. Most important is to make sure y ou are happy x
CommentAuthorvickyG
you should ask whoever u feel happiest to, and it shouldnt offend anyone esle they should want u to be happy on ur day xx

My MILs brother gave her away, but she didn't want him to as she wasn';t close to him, choose whoever is closest to you.
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
Walking down the aisle is a privilage, not a right. It should be given to someone who is always there for you, loves you unconditionally and will always support you.

That is why i am walking myself down, no one deserves to give me away, lol. If my dad isn't doing it then no one is! :)

I would chose someone who is really close to me if my Dad was no longer there, if I had to chose it would be my mum actually :)

CommentAuthorJane
My dad died 15 years ago and I wouldnt want anyone else to walk me down the aisle so I'm just walking down with my 2 bridesmaids, my daughters.
CommentAuthorvintage lass
What about asking your mum?
I would ask whoever you are closest to.....I wouldnt feel guilty about your dad hun there are other ways you can remember him eg-have a rememberance candle or a framed photograph of him at your reception xxx
CommentAuthorfelicity.h
I love my mum and she has asked but I don't know why she isn't my first choice. Thank you vintage lass for that candle idea. I did want to do a large balloon release where everyone could have a balloon the can write on to remember loved ones. :)

My Dad died September last year and it was with compensation from his death that we have bought the rings, dress, shoes and some of the flowers. My step-dad got with my mum when I was about 9 months old so most people think the logical next choice would be him as I am not close to my older brother but my Dad always hoped that my brother, sister and I would become closer and it has happened a little but not much. Sorry, rabbitting, lol. Anyway, I chose my older brother as it just didn't feel right to pick anyone else and I was concerned about my step-dads feelings at first but I know he would understand that this is my big day and I am going to do what makes me feel happy and what feels right for me. I am going to carry a picture of my Dad too.
Do what feels right for you. At the end of the day, it's YOUR big day and everyone else should respect your decision. If you feel that no-one can come close enough to replacing your Dad in that job, then go ahead without anyone doing it. xxx

My 16 year old son is giving me away. It's a no brainer really as it's been just me and him until recently. Even if I saw any of my family I think Scott is the only one that I 'belong' to.
Got married 11/11/11.

If my Dad couldn't do it i would ask my 14 yr old son i think
CommentAuthorRoxii
If my dad had left and didn't want anything to do with us, then yeah replace him, he'd not be bothered why should I be? BUT If my dad was no longer with us *god forbid* I would either walk down with my mum or on my own! xx
CommentAuthorsarahwasabride
