Is it ok to have my brother give me away at the alter?
Question: My dad is in prison and me and my siblings are very close. Since I dont have anyone is it ok for my brother to walk me down the aisle? Also anyone have any wedding tips? Noone I know has ever been married or had a big wedding? I am new to all of this and I cant afford a wedding planner. Any Ideas?
Answers: It's absolutely OK. I'm sure he'd be honored.
Sounds to me like having your brother give you away would be good, unless perhaps you have a grandfather you are close to......
Of course, it is appropriate for anyone you want to give you away at your wedding. Sometimes even the mother of the bride will give away the bride. It might not be traditional but it's not unacceptable or really that unusual. People will know why your father isn't there to give you away and will understand. Good luck to you!
It is completely OK for someone other than you brother to walk you down the aisle.. There is nothing in etiquette that's says it can't be a brother, or even a close friend. The Wedding Guys from Twin City Bridal offer a lot of good advice if you're interested.
well, yea. most of the time i jus see the bride walk alone
I think it is a good idea. My brother gave me away because my dad and I were not on good terms at the time.
my soon to be wife is haveing her son walk her down the aisle so id say go for it.
Its more than OK to have your brother walk you down the aisle!! its a wonderful replacement for your dad!it will be a treasured memory for both of you ! as far as wedding planning, there are plenty of good books on planning your wedding, (much cheaper than a planner costs), and the advise I would give you is to remember the meaning of the day, not let it stress you out,and expect things to go wrong because they will that day,smile, laugh it off , and start your life together in love !
Yes if that is who you prefer to do it. I would be having my brother walk me down the aisle due to the fact that my father is deceased.
Good luck
I think that would be a great idea and very special for both of you. The key to a big wedding is to realize there are going to be problems but ultimately this is about you getting married. So enjoy it, and don't sweat the small stuff.
yes
Yes--you can have any male figure you want walk you down the aisle.
Of course your brother can give you away!

and, it's not what you asked, but if you ever want to talk about your dad, http://www.prisontalk.com is a support and information group for people who have loved ones behind bars, I'm on the staff there and I promise you'd get a warm welcome with no judgement or silly, nosy questions.
I think it is great that you are so close with your brother that you would even consider him to walk you down the aisle. Most people don't have that good of a relationship with their siblings. If your brother is as dear to you as you say then by all means yes! Also, if you are looking for some help with the planning go to theknot.com and they have tons of ideas and I think they even have a free downloadable wedding planner too! There is also weddingplanningwiz.com if that helps.
First of all congratulations!
Well I don't see a problem why he should not give you away at the alter. My friends have their brothers give them away.

it perfectly fine and rather sweet .don't stress over your wedding plans i am sure that its gonna be great.
well, traditionally the father have the bride away because he was her male protector, and it was his job to look after her. Giving her to her husband signified that she was his to take care of now.
If your daddy cant be there, I think having your brother give you away would be just fine. It will be something that will be special to him, as well.
That sounds like a wonderful idea to me
It is fine to have your brother walk you down the aisle my son walked his sister down the aisle and he also gave her away ,her dad wasnt in prison he just never wonted to be a dad so her brother did it.A friend of mine sang at her wedding she did the song FROM THIS MOMENT ON, she had avery simple wedding but it was beautiful and so was she just as im sure you will be ,you dont have to be rich to have a nice wedding you work with what you have and do the best you can and your wedding will be beautiful.
