BOTH parents walking me down the aisle

Hey guys,

I want both my parents to walk me down the aisle. My mum and dad split up when I was only 3 months old and although I've always seen my dad, the moments when my mum and dad have been together since then are few and far between. Don't get me wrong, they get on well, it's just dad remarried and stuff and they live their separate lives. Since being a baby, my mum and dad have been jointly involved in my life in the following ways:

> Prom
> 18th
> 21st
> Engagement party

That's honestly the lot so it would mean a massive deal for me to have them come together on my wedding day and both give me away. Part of me feels like my mum brought me up for the majority and I really want that special, albeit strange, moment of what it feels like when my mum and dad are both there for me, together. Does that make sense?

My dilemma is this: Do you think it will take away some of the 'specialness' from my dad? What if he's dreamed about this moment all my life and it's going to be slightly different?

easy, just do what I do every time I try and discuss something with H2B, just make him thinks its not about you. ie pretend that you were reading something on this site about how someone else was having both parents, mention it to him and just to see what he says. If he thinks its a bad idea, then you just don't do it he won't fall out with you and you've got your answer
This method works with EVERYTHING haha

i say go for it. i think most dad's are probably terrified of this moment only second to having to give a speech and he might like some of the pressure taken off. ask him first to dee if he minds and go from there

(and make sure your isle will be wide enough to actually do this )

I don't see why not. Your parents have done a great job of bringing you up together after a divorce and are obviously on reasonable terms.

In some ways I think it would be even more special that you want them to walk you down the aisle.

So long as your parents agree (and I don't see why they wouldn't), then do that. My cousin had both her parents walk down the aisle with her, and I thought it was a lovely touch.

I think people should do whatever makes them feel comfortable and works best for whatever their personal situation happens to be - go for it, it sounds like a great plan

Thanks guys. nats2013- you're totally right- I'd better make sure the aisle is wide enough!
