My dad and I have a strained relationship, and I also have a stepdad but it wasn't always easy for us either. I felt like my brother was the best man to appropriately represent my family giving me away. I know there were hard feelings about it though, and sometimes I wish I had just let my dad do it. cascademom on "If you are married...who walked you down the aisle?

Whilst I forgave him, my mum remained very bitter and the fact that he was even coming to my wedding and she had to face him after 18 years caused a lot of drama. I knew that it would hurt her too much for him to have a big part in my day.... especially one that required him to "give me away" when she felt he had given me away at age 12. Add to that the fact that he was very abusive to DH the first (and only - prior to the wedding) time he met him (my dad was an alcoholic),it just didn't feel right having him "give me away" to DH. There was one person that I did feel had the right to do that. My best male friend (who is married to my BFF!) has been there for me through thick and thin. He fended off stalky exes and bought me so many cocktails over the years I dread to think how much it cost! If anyone had the right to "give me away" it was him. So he walked me down the aisle. My dad died six months later. I feel guilty some days that I didn't give him that opportunity. But I did have who I wanted on the day....

We used a less common Catholic processional where the bride and groom walk in together after the wedding party and the parents of the couple. I'm so glad we did-- I liked the symbolism of starting our wedding walking in together. Boogs on "If you are married...who walked you down the aisle?
