Can my father in law walk me down the aisle?

My fiancée and I are getting married next year. My father passed away 13 years ago, and sadly I lost my mother last year. I have brothers, but I don’t feel comfortable asking them to walk me down the aisle. I want to ask my father in law, but I’m worried this will upset my brothers. Would I be wrong to do this? How can I get my brothers involved in other ways?

I walked alone, my father wasn't much of a dad and having my step dad do it would have caused too much drama. My dad got upset anyway and left my wedding early. Walk with who you like and feel comfortable, brothers are good ushers

I would walk alone too.

You have every right to choose who walks you down the aisle, and your father-in-law is a lovely choice, especially if you feel a strong connection with him. It’s an emotional and personal decision, and honoring your comfort and wishes on your special day is important. You’re not wrong for wanting your father-in-law to do this, even if it may surprise your brothers. To keep your brothers involved and minimize any potential hurt feelings you could ask them to be part of the ceremony by giving a reading, acting as groomsmen, or being ushers. You could also ask one or both of them to escort your mother’s or father’s photograph down the aisle, honoring your parents in the process. Let them know how important their support is to you and express how you’d love for them to be there for you throughout the day, even if they aren’t walking you down the aisle. When you talk to your brothers, explain your decision from a heartfelt perspective, they will appreciate your honesty.

Thank you. I’m just concerned about hurt feelings. Im thinking it might be better to walk with my fiancé
