     walking the bride  

My parents are divorced. I have an ok relationship with my dad and a great one with my mom. My dad will be at the wedding but i want my mother to walk me down the aisle.I really don't want my dad to be involved in the wedding at all, but I am worried about what other people will think.Can I just have my mom walk me ( she will also be lighting the unity candles) and let my dad be a regular guests?

Dear Bride,

It is now fairly common for mothers to escort their daughters. But, it may hurt your father's feelings. This is something to consider. And, if your mother is lighting the unity candle, your father would be expected to join her. That is what this means, the joining of the two families. If he is left out, it will most likely be noticed.

It may be best to leave the candle lighting out.

Best wishes,
