Here comes the fun part...We're funding everything and we both want simple. I've decided not to have any attendants for either of us. Instead, my cousin will be my makeup artist (putting her MaryKay to use), her hubby will be my "unoffical" photo guy to make photo cds for us (I learned that many of the photographers use expiration dates on their cds). I have our parents walking down the aisle (I have 2 sets) and he would rather not have his family involved so its just his dad. Would it be proper to have him escort me 1/2 then have my dad walk me the rest of the way? Would it be ok to give the groom away instead of the bride?

Hey Sistah!
I just wanted to say that I am not an expert on the do's & don'ts of wedding etiquette. However, I do believe that this is your wedding and you should create the kind of experience that you and your future hubby desire. It is up to you. You can create your own tradition/wedding experience. In any event, I wish you all the best!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
I agree with Rhonda. It's your day, have it your way. Somebody somewhere is always going to have something to say whether good, bad or indifferent. Be as creative as you want. Whatever you do, have a good time!
Hey ladies! Thanks for the support, I know its our day but you know how it is, you like for things to be in order. I'm sure I'll come up with a solution. I had a dream that it was horrible, the weather jacked up my hair, guests barely showed up and my dress didn't fit right and it was downright pitiful. I'm glad I have a few more months before the big day to make sure all is in tip top shape. Hope your holidays are splendid!
Hi sis....I too am not a wedding expert, that's Niquey and Rosetta's thing, but I think tradition the bride father gives her away to the groom. While you can be as creative as you like cause this is your wedding like the other sistas said, I am not sure if it is ok for the groom's father to give you away. It is ok for him to give his son away thou.....it's like saying he has his blessings to take a wife. But double check, send Nniquey a note or email and ask Rosy.... and have fun.
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
I just felt bad that he'd walk down the aisle alone. Future hubby said he'd be willing to let his aunt walk down the aisle more so than his mother or sister. The only other thing is to not have them walk down the aisle at all. Ok ladies of creativity- help a sistah out!
Sis....I am sitting here trying to figure out the arrangement. I read your topic over several times and I am still a bit confused [dah dah]...I would really like to help but please clear the confusion for me. Some of my friends say the wheels move slowwwwww with me [lol].

I have a mother who is remarried, a dad who is remarried and FH isn't exactly happy to include his mother (or many of his family for that matter)in anything. I didn't want his father to walk down the aisle alone, so I wondered if it was ok for him to escort me half way and then have my dad escort me the rest of the way.
Your FFIL isn't giving you away. You are joining his family. He can walk down alone and get all the glory by himself.

Sounds good to me. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't offending anyone.
Thanks
Sorry I could not help but I am happy that Rosetta was able to. Good Luck

Ran the idea by FH when he stopped by. He liked the idea of Pop getting his 15 of fame. Thanks ladies
