Is it weird that I wouldn't want my Dad to walk me down the aisle?

It's not like that's actually what it means any more, it's just tradition.

I think you're just being contrary for the sake of it.

I think it's perfectly valid to feel however you feel.

My husband and I walked down the aisle together hand in hand, you can have it however you want.

Yeah okay, just you hurt your dads feelings and embarrass him over something that shouldn't even matter that much to someone who's getting married

The way I see it is that your father is the first man to love you and being his daughter who he's raised up since a baby. He's obviously has a strong bond and attachment to you. So to me...giving away my daughter would be entrusting the guy with her to keep her happy, safe, and take care of her.

If he doesn't tho there shall be laws broken

Should people not get to have THEIR weddings the way they want? Especially if they're the ones paying for it.
I'm also sure my mother (and grandmother) would want me to get married in a church. But that sure as hell isn't going to happen.
My Dad raised me to be an independent person and I'd hope it would be something he could understand. He'd still be a part of the wedding, as he'd get to sit at the main table, make a speech if he wanted to and I'd probably get that dance in with both of my parents.

This is true. But the mother also has a bond, since she's the one that carried you for 9 months and gave birth to you. I suppose another option would be to have BOTH parents walking you, because in an ideal world both parents will have been as important as each other in your upbringing.

It doesn't mean that any more; everybody know that it's merely tradition. Have fun telling your dad that you don't want him to walk you down the aisle. As Viva Emptiness said, you're just being contrary for the sake of it. It doesn't mean anything and you'd just be being selfish by depriving your dad of the opportunity to walk his daughter down the aisle. No one would think that you're big or clever by going against the norm. Quite the contrary, in fact.

You sound like one of those spoilt biatches you see on all those wedding programmes.

"Hey dad, I know you raised me from birth, took care me, protected me and taught me the ways of the world ... buuuuuut im afraid if people see you giving me away they'll think I'm just an object for men to own! So if you could just you know, not stand near me for most of the day, that would be great".

I think you need to grow up a lot before even thinking of getting married

Mm, yes, because the point of a wedding is to make yourself look big and clever, rather than arrange a day that starts the beginning of your future with your other half.
