who walks me down the aisle if my dad is no longer with us?

There are no rules on this one!  Ask your mum. Or  a special friend. You might like to walk in with the  groom - or walk part of the way - and have him come and collect you. You might have an older sibling that would be honoured. You might like to walk all the way in by yourself. 

You might like to honour dad during the ceremony -a nd there so many ways to do this. He may not be there in person - but he will absolutely be there in your hearts and memories

You can choose anyone you want to walk you down the isle. i have seen many Mothers walk their Daughter down the isle.

Also Brothes, Uncles  and Older Children!!

A good friend can walk you down the aisle, or your mother, you can even walk down the aisle by yourself,

I good gesture is also by having a photo of your dad on a chair in the front row. I as a celebrant would even make mention of your dad and that he is watching over you on your special day.

You can choose anyone you like, even your husband to be or your celebrant. Is there another significant person in your life ? mother brother uncle ?

I am happy to send you a kit which will help you plan your wedding day

Hi there, I am sorry to hear about your Dad, but you can have anyone you want walk you down the aisle. You might like to ask your mother or a brother, even both, one either side of you. There might be a special Uncle or Grandfather in your life. Some Brides decide to walk down the aisle by themselves if their father is not there.  You can always remember a loved one by either having a photo of them or a reserved seat with the photo on it. Makes a special moment as they will be watching over you on your special day.

I walked my daughter down the aisle when she was married and it was a wonderful experience for both of us.  The person you feel closest to, someone who has known you for a long time and cares about you.  Trust your heart and you will know who to ask.

You don't have to walk down the aisle with anyone, unless you want to, of course! Many brides choose to walk in with their partner, or meet him half way, walk in with their attendants or another family member.  Asking someone important to accompany you on this walk is a great way to honour them, as well as give you a supportive arm to hold. I love it when both families accompany the bride and groom - what fun when everyone arrives in a group! If you think outside the traditional entrance it takes the emphasis away from the fact that your father isn't there.

I hope you have a happy day!

This is a tough one as it often involves a degree of sadness ...

However, there are lots of beautiful options - mum, "other parent/s" brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, children, BFF, your fur-baby, and even - no-one!!

It's such a personal choice. I've seen some extremely poignant statements made by brides who have chosen to walk down the aisle on their own. It's been their way of saying - "I am Woman, Hear me Roar" - so to speak.

And having said all of that, it is totally up to you. Some brides enter with their groom! So just do whatever feels right for you. And chat to your celebrant. He or she will have just about seen it all, and will be warm and open to your thoughts - trust me - that's why you chose them :)

I'd say it depends if you are trying to stick with tradition or not.  Many brides will have their mum walk them down the aisle, or a prominent person in your life - and that could traditionally fall to a male relative.  But I tend to think that we've become a little more contemporary in recent years and being 'given away' really represents the love of your families and their support of the marriage.  So really, it can be anyone to walk you in.  I wish you a wonderful wedding day! 

Your mother, uncle, brother or any close family friend you feel you are close to.  It is an honour to be asked to walk a bride down the aisle so whoever you ask will be thrilled to do it.

Absolutely anyone can walk you down the aisle - or you can walk on your own.  The thing to remember is the only thing you HAVE to do at your wedding ceremony is say the legal words.  Everything else is up to you!  A good celebrant will supply you with many options and suggestions.
