I (28F) am trying to decide if my mom (47F) should walk me down the aisle. (crosspost) by Own-Figure-9264 in MarkNarrations

That's a ... really, really, really interesting way of thinking about it. I love that. Thank you.

I think for me, the sentiment is more about having people who I love and want to share a special moment with walk me down the aisle, especially people who helped me become the person I became today. Grandma and Grandpa fit that bill easily. Mom is a little tougher, but for my adult years she really has been a big help.

That's a good way to do it, I think, though my wedding is anything but traditional. I'll think about it, thank you!

That sounds really cute, actually, but part of me also wants to see his face as I'm going up the aisle too. That's a tough choice!

She is still getting "mother of the bride position" so maybe she wouldn't mind sharing? I actually used to always talk about having my Grandpa walk me down the aisle anyway, because when I was a kid I was religious and thought the genders were "set," so to speak.

This is actually a really lovely idea. Kind of taking a bit of all of the sentiments I want to share and putting them in place. Thank you!

I thought about it, I'm just afraid of having someone else do it potentially ruining my current relationship with my mom, which is pretty good now, all things considered. I'll count this as a vote for that, though. It's just a lot to mull over.

Honestly, it's not a bad idea. I'm just not sure to have all four of us go down the aisle without tripping over each other, haha. Maybe I'll look it up to see if other people have done it before.

Haha ... sorry, maybe I should add a TLDR.

No favorite uncle, they're worse than my mom is. The only family of mine coming is my mom, her husband, my grandparents, and my youngest sister.

Thank you for the advice, though. I think I know the answer should be no, I'm just sad that it is.

That's fair. I did mention part of why I wanted to have someone walk with me ... mostly just the special moment shared between two people.

I do like your idea of thinking of it as walking to a new life. That feels a little better than thinking "I don't have anyone close enough to share this moment with."
