Ahem... er hi

Cherry Garcia, 29 of November of 2012 at 12:37 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hi everyone,
I've been on hitched on and off for the past 13 years ?. I first joined in 2001 and all of my littlies are hitched babies.
This is my first WP post. My lovely OH proposed last week. The wedding is a bit of a way off (two years to go ) but we're looking at stuff already so we know how much we need to get saving! This is just a pondering really but I think I'd like to be given away by my son.

There is no issue with my dad. He's around and we are close but I've been married before. I was married for 9 years and have three children. I'm 31 next month and I feel a bit weird being given away by my dad again. Not sure if that makes me a bit odd? I'd like for my little boy to escort me down the aisle. He'll be 5.5 by then. I sort of see it as I belong more to my children than my parents now and it's their blessing that counts most. Does that make sense?

Opinions please?

    Explain it to your Dad exactly as you've explained it to us and I can't see him having a problem.

    Congratulations! Welcome to WP!

    I can see what you mean about the giving away thing, and I think it's a lovely idea to include your son in that way.

    Thanks everyone! I know there's plenty of time but you can't help thoughts popping up randomly I suppose. I'm really looking forward to planning. I'm a lot more chilled out this time around and very excited about doing all this together. I planned the whole thing on my own last time. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

    Yay! Somebody who's been on here nearly as long as me! ?

    Congratulations!!!!!

    I can empathise with how you're feeling about your dad. I've recently got married for the second time and have two boys (6 and 2), the eldest of which isn't H's son (biologically!). I was really umming and ahhing about whether to walk down the aisle with my dad or my boys but in the end I went with my dad. I don't know whether it will help but my reasons were - my dad was honoured to do it (even though he'd done it before), why would 'our' sons give me away to their own dad, they looked super cute walking down the aisle holding hands.

    It worked out perfectly for us but you need to do whatever you feel is right for you. Our eldest loved being a page boy (and being in charge of his brother!). Obviously I don't know your son but I can imagine it might be a bit much for some children to cope with.

    Oh, and little boys in suits look super cute. Result - your friends and family will spend more time looking at him than the stunning bride ?
