My father is alive, but he molested me as a child. So I had my dh walk me down the aisle and all the bridesmaids walked down the aisles with the groomsmen. I have no bad thoughts about it. I tend to think about the parts of my wedding that I enjoyed, including the part where I was looking out into the crowd of family and friends who were there to support me (embarassingly this brought tears to my eyes). But my story is totally different. Dont get me wrong my father was at my wedding as I have forgiven him but I didnt think he deserved the right to walk me down the aisle.
