Is it OK to walk down the aisle alone? I am unsure if my parents are coming (per my request) and would rather do it alone. Is that OK?

Absolutely! It's absolutely wonderful, if you prefer, to walk down the aisle solo. You also may consider a close relative or friend to escort you. Or perhaps you and your Sweetheart want to walk down the aisle together. Wedding etiquette is becoming more deeply personalized - follow your heart as to how you want to "process!"

I agree it would be acceptable to walk down alone if that is your preference. God Bless. Deacon Bob Tousey

A few of my brides have walked down alone for varying reasons. Sometimes it is just a personal choice based on independent, modern, or feminist view points. Sometimes it is because of estrangement from, or bad feelings towards, the parents. Sometimes it is because it is a second wedding and the bride wants to do it on her own this time. Sometimes walking alone just feels more comfortable or the bride finds it more visually appealing.
Bottom Line: It is your wedding. I refer to the walk down the aisle as the walk of a lifetime. At the very least, you should be comfortable. In my opinion, you should bask in the joy of it all.
