I would have him walk with you, kiss you on the cheek, and then step up to his spot. Then I would have him ask who gives you, and, if possible, have your mother stand up and say “her father and I do”? Or perhaps another close family member (grandparent?) if she can’t do it for some reason, but just have them say something about “her father” or “her parents” in there too.

hehe, I’ve been looking LIKE crazy not for crazy!

Could you skip the “giving away part?” I think it would seem kind of awkward for him to ask, “Who gives this bride” when he already knows the answer — himself!!!

I went to a wedding where the father walked the daughter down the aisle, joined her hand with her soon-to-be-husband and stepped up to his spot. They skipped the giving away part.

i have a question…im now a year out from my wedding, (wahoo!) and was wondering when would be a good time to ask bridesmaids? ive held off, because i wanted to make sure i was confortable with who i wanted.

Elizabeth - yes! he can! they did it in the movie “A Walk to Remember” I thought it was very sweet

You can try ChupaChups :] They have a strawberries and cream flavor that’s a light pink and white color that I am absolutely addicted to because they’re SOOOO yummy :] They come in huge canisters if you buy them from Costco or some other wholesale store for like $8.99. Problem is they’re not as big as the Hammonds Candies lollipops but they sure are tasty :]

I plan on having my brother start the ceremony so my dad can give me away before he gets up there to do the rest!

Hi Shellsbells,

I’d like to offer up my brother as a recommendation. True, I’m biased, but he has worked for over 10 years as a staff retoucher for magazines like InStyle and Teen People. Now he freelances but still works for the major fashion mags. He’s made pretty much every celebrity look gorgeouser than they actually do. Let me know if you’d like his email as one of your possibilities!
