This is what DH and I did and it was a first marriage for both of us.

I don't think it would be appropriate for anyone to walk you down the aisle!

And please tell me you're not wearing a demure pristine white dress with veil. Something a little more mature, perhaps.


You should have stopped after your second sentence. Why the need to be a jerk?

I wanted to walk down the aisle myself. I got married for the first time at 36 and was a fully formed person coming to the marriage and didn't like the handoff symbolism. It would have been upsetting to my dad however so I relented.

Congratulations!! You can totally walk yourself down. Or a friend that means a lot to you. Enjoy your wedding and marriage!

I walked down the aisle alone. My mom died and my father has never been in the picture. Had my mom been alive I would've had her walk me down.

If you don't want to go alone, you can have a close friend walk you down the aisle. Really, it's totally up to you. There is really no right or wrong here.

My friend had this same situation and therefore walked by herself after her girlfriends (bridesmaids/matrons). Everyone before her walked single file so it actually looked fine. Recommend you change the music right before you enter. My friend had a trumpet fanfare after a lovely instrumental piece for the bridesmaids.

The above, and it is ok to walk yourself down the aisle.

I would ask a mentor you respect or a good friend. Even your fiance's dad would be nice if you are close

I'm getting married later this year.
This will be my second marriage, but my fiancé's first.

It's not an over the top wedding, but it is traditional.

I have no one to walk me down the aisle.

What options to people use for this situation?
