Maybe your grandmother taught you to bake, or your grandfather offered a listening ear whenever you needed it.
Either way, grandparents often have a special place in our hearts, and choosing to have them by your side can be a meaningful gesture to honor their impact on your life.
You can even opt to have both your grandmother and grandfather accompany you, too. Simply have them each take one arm and lead the way!
Your Mother Or Stepfather
If you have a complicated or distant relationship with your dad, then you might want to consider asking your mother to walk you down the aisle.
Mothers across the country have been increasingly taking on this role over the past decade. And honestly, they are an awesome choice. After all, your mother might have been there for you through it all– from infancy to engagement.
So, why not opt to hold her hand and give her one of the most important roles at your wedding?
Likewise, if you have a stepfather who was influential in your life, he can be an excellent option, too. Many people forge deep and long-lasting relationships with their stepparents– especially if a stepparent entered their life at a younger age.
If you feel the same about your stepfather, he would likely be honored to take on such an important responsibility on your big day. Plus, by asking him to walk you down the aisle, you may even make your relationship that much deeper.
A Sibling Or Another Close Relative
If you have a sister, brother, aunt, or uncle who you absolutely adore, they might be the perfect person to walk you down the aisle.
