My daughter got engaged and a month later discovered she was pregnant. She plans a small intimate wedding (family only) before the baby is born in early spring and then wants a large vow renewal ceremony next fall. Is it appropriate for her father to still walk her down the aisle?
Congratulations to your daughter on her engagement, upcoming wedding, and bundle of joy! She’s taking a popular path today with the small family only wedding followed later by a larger vow renewal. It is always appropriate for a father to walk his daughter down the aisle, be it for a wedding or vow renewal. Both are very special occasions and they should enjoy those moments together. The only difference of course, is that the officiant should not ask the common “who gives this woman” question at the vow renewal. Women of all ages often opt to have their father join them a second time on their walk down the aisle; you just never outgrow being daddy’s girl.
I also recommend checking out our Free Guide: Selecting Your Vows – Simple and Religious Vows for Your Vow Renewal for ideas on vows your daughter and her new husband can say to one another at their vow renewal – there are several written just for this type of occasion (https://www.idostill.com/free-guide-selecting-your-vows-simple-and-religious-vows-for-your-vow-renewal/). Be sure to sign up for our newsletter when you download it too as we have a new ceremony script in the works that is also perfect for this occasion!
I’ve been searching for this myself. My husband and I did not have a wedding just a courthouse ceremony with a few family members. Now we’re planning on doing a wedding for our 10 yr anniversary. I would love to have my father walk me down the aisle but I’m caught up on how he would “give me away” since I’m already married. I’m looking for suggestions as to how to do this…does he just walk me down and hand me over to my husband and then everybody is asked to be seated or are there any words spoke between him and the officiant and of so what should they be?
It would be sweet to have him walk you down the aisle. Simply have all of your parents and children stand once you reach your husband and have your officiant say something to the effect of “who supports this couple in their continued commitment to each other,” and all of them can say, “we do.”
