Father And Grandfather Walking Me Down The Isle?
I have a problem. My parents are divorced and me and my father have never been that close. I have a distant relationship with him. I decided to have him and my grandfather walk me down the isle. My grandfather has always been a constant in my life and there for me when I needed it! My father found out that I asked my grandfather also and is very mad saying her never heard of such a thing. My feeling is, now that I`m getting married, don`t try to play it like I`m your little girl! Do you think I am doing the right thing?

It`s your decision! It`s your wedding! I had a wedding last weekend that both the step father and the father walked the bride down the isle and I had a wedding where the mother and the father walked the bride down the isle. You do what suits you and your situation. Good luck.

Deda,
An option that might ease the tensions would be to have your father walk you half way and then have your grandfather standing by to walk you the rest of the way to the alter. That way, grandpa, who`s been closer, will be the one to actually give you over to your groom, but Daddy can start the procession down the aisle. Each has a special part, but not sharing with the other. Another option is to choose one to walk to you down the aisle and the other to have the Father/Daughter dance with at the reception. I`ve helped my photographer husband at lots of weddings...and seen this done both ways successfully. JoAnne

Thank you so much for your help. I have a lot to think about. My wedding is still sometime away. It`s just very stressful right now because my father is making it that way. Thank you and i will take any other suggestions anyone has! The more options the better!!!

Hi i just want you to know that i also have not spoken to my dad in 10 years i`m finally getting married this year and i said the it would be my grandfather that would give me away. He was more of a father to me than my father ever was. How ever my grandfather just passed away so it will not happen for me. I`m having my mother give me away. My opinion is have your grandfather give you away.
