So my husband and i are getting married but were having a very nontraditional wedding. I was thinking that maybe instead of walking down the aisle with parents/bridesmaids/groomsmen, that instead we should drop all that and just walk together. Its about us, and i feel like us walking the aisle together would be significant. Ive never seen anyone do it before, and im also not really concerned with the whole "all eyes one blushing bride".... So is it too weird?Also if it makes a difference, its a wedding of around 50 people in total.
"My personal opinion is do not do this at all."
Its great to hear different opinions, but when someone says this but does not elaborate.... do you really expect me to not do it just because you said so? C'mon! Tell me WHY! please?
it was done as a symbol of the bride leaving her old single life behind and walking into the life of being joined together with her man.
But isn't that from a time when women were actually single before getting married? They didnt "date" when this was created. I haven't been single for 4 years, so i dont really feel like im leaving that behind.
the walking down the aisle on the arm of her father and the act of him giving her to the man she is marrying at the altar
I feel uncomfortable with this - im not a piece of property to be given away. And while my father and i have a great relationship, he's not the most traditional man and will probably be happier seeing me walk with the man im about to start my life with.
But i do appreciate the info <3
