Can Groom`s Father Walk Me Down Aisle?
To first explain my situation, I`m pretty much estranged from my father - he is not a good person and is not welcome at my wedding. My relationship with my mother is there, but is not that great anymore. She`s taken no interest in this wedding and is pretty much just another guest. When it comes to the issue of walking me down the aisle, I don`t know what to do! There are no other male relatives that I`m close enough with to ask (at least not any that wouldn`t cause another war with my parents). I`m seriously considering asking my father-in-law to be to walk me. Is this inappropriate? Next to that, I think I`ll be walking alone.

Dear Sunshine, What a sad state to be in. However, I think it would be quite lovely to ask you future father-in-law and would be a sweet thing between you both. We have long ago gotten away from the original intent of the "giving away" and it is now just sort of ceremonial. I think that gentleman would be honored by your request.

Thanks for your opinions, especially you`re kind words Sue. The thought of asking him makes me excited as it`s what I do want, but I didn`t know if it was appropriate and if it had to be someone from `my side`. It`s good to hear that there shouldn`t be any reason not to go this route! I`m very close with his family, and I know he`s be honored to do it being my fiance is there only child, so he`ll most likely never have the chance.

Dear Sunshine. When I read that your fiance is their only child, it took my breath away. Yes, this is most appropriate and so very special. Your request will not only honor your future father-in-law but be a double blessing besides. Prepare to see him cry! You may have to take some flack from your family over this decision but, in the long run, you know who you can really count on. Blessings, Sue
