Who should walk me down the aisle?

It's your wedding even if the people you love don't attend it won't be your fault by not choosing your biological father! You have every right to choose someone else. It would be soo cute if you got your bestfriend or her mom to do it! :D I vote for that!

It's your wedding. You're the main attraction. It's your day. A day which you've probably been planning in your mind for years. You should have the absolute privilege to have whomever you want to walk you down the aisle. Even though weddings are a touchy thing when it comes to relatives, you should have anyone you want. I think you're right about your bio-dad. I think he lost that privilege a long time ago. My natural instinct would be to try and keep relatives happy and ask the brother, but he has already declined. So again, ask a dear friend. Or even the step dad. He's been the only father figure in your life. Your decision. Best of luck and have a great wedding.

I'm with everyone else. It is your wedding. Do whatever will make you happy and COMFORTABLE on that day.

I got married 8 months ago, and one key thing that I read and remembered was this, As you plan your wedding day, plan it as the perfect movie, from the moment that you wake until you are in your husbands arms that night. Even though things may go a little bit different. If you set them up to be perfect to YOUR liking, fate won't stray that far away. That day is going to play over and over again in your head. Make it a good memory.

If you have family members that are actually threatening with not attending, then maybe there absence may be for the best. To them it may be one wedding out of many. If there are their than great, But I guarantee, if you have others around that love and support you, then their absence will only be a small part of your memories.

Good Luck

Well this is your wedding, and your choice as to whom you feel is the best person to give you away, the person that has always been there for you, not the ones who come in and out of your life as needed. In your situation, I would ask step-dad.

Another option would be both step-dad and biological dad.

Do you have any uncles, close family friends, etc?

As for your brothers and dad's side of the family this is your choice, they can choose to support you or not to, if they come great, if they don't that's their own fault and choosing. They will be the ones regretting it. If you have extended the invitation to them, then that means you'd like for them to be there and done your part.

To me your "real" family doesn't have to be your biological family. Your step dad is your "real" dad, the real dad who was there for you, and your biological father was not.

I have been to a couple weddings where the bride & groom walked down together. In one of them, the bride walked down half way by herself and her & the groom walked down the rest of the way together.

I would give some serious thought about not having anyone walk you down, but coming down the aisle by yourself. This can suggest an independent woman, one who makes her own choices, and empowers herself. Weddings don't have to follow certain rules. You can make your special day as personal as you want to. Its YOUR day. If your brother and dads side of the family won't attend because your stepfather walks you down, that is their problem. They should not be able to hijack your day with their own feelings about your step-dad. You need to do what is comfortable for you. What about someone out of the ordinary, like a family pet? Sometimes the animals in our lives show us more love and respect than the humans. Good luck on your day! :)

The person who walks you down the aisle, is usually the person who gives you away. In most cases it 's the father. But in your case, you would be better of walking down the aisle on your own and your bridesmaids in tow. Of course there may be someone who you would like to give you away, then you choose that person. I'm sorry to hear about the disruption in your family life. Marriage of a family member, is a celebration that the entire family should be involved with. Good luck with your wedding.

If you're happy to, I'd go alone. It's not uncommon these days and would save you a lot of heart ache I think. Alternatively, go with who YOU want, it's your day. The people you care about should respect this.

In your case, I would walk down by myself. Many women do it these days.
