I Need Advice!

My advice to you is to ask a brother, an uncle , family friend or just a nice man you know. There are also a lot of bride`s who choose their mother to walk them because they are very close. You could also walk down with your flower girl. Hope that helps. This is your day remember....you do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Well I would think about it long and hard before you ask someone before your father. Is it that you don`t get along or is that you do not love/respect him and would not want him to be part of this life time memory you are creating? If it is that you don`t get along sometimes then I would ask your father because he will be full of pride walking his little girl down the aisle. If it is more than that and you do not want a memory of your father then ask someone else but be prepared to accept your fathers reaction. Also is your parents paying for the wedding? You cannot ask him to pay for the wedding and not to give you away. Finally, I am 31 and would give anything to have my father back for 5 minutes to walk me down the aisle in August 2002. Think about it..........

This is your wedding, and you should do whatever makes you happy, my sister didn`t want my father to walk her down the isle for the same situation, the funny part is I love my dad, so he will walking me down to mine, however my dad understood the siutation, even though his feeling were hurt, he was o.k. With it in the long run, My sister and my dad are friends now, but she does not regret it, she was happy with my uncle walking her down the isle, I think it would have been worse if a non-family member did it, but since it was a family member nobody said anything. Good luck, and I`m sorry you are going thru this because I am going thru hardship right now between my MOH and mom..

I don`t see why you can`t walk yourself down the aisle.I`m sure that`s what I`m gonna do(cause` noone can tangibly see my real father which is GOD),I`m just gonna stroll down that aisle with my lil` bouquet and meet the love of my life at the alter.No father (that anyone can see)at the wedding at all.I ain`t trippin`.Not at all.I don`t care about nobodys tradition really,especially on alot of those type things.Most traditions started along time ago when things were different and really kind of not realistic most of the time....and if you decide not to have him in your walk down the aisle, I think alone is less offensive then having him at your wedding and strolling down with someone else, that is a bigger statement probably.If you walk by yourself it would be kind of like your time to be a princess more than walkin` with somebody and possibly feelin` like a slap in the face.What ever you do, I hope you have a fabulous day and life with your new husband.

Thanx to everyone for their advice. I have come to a decision about what to do. I am going to walk down the isle by myself. I mean, this is my day, so why can`t I be in the spotlight, right? Am I wrong for thinking this way? I want all eyes on me. After all, wedding dresses aren`t cheap. And I only get to do this one time. I was never popular in school, so I`ll just take my 15 minutes of fame then. Again, thanx so much to all of you. You`ve helped me explore all of my options and make a decision.
