Hi, so genuine question because my boyfriend (he/him) and I (He/They) plan on getting married but we have no idea how to handle the traditional processional where a father walks the bride down the aisle, we also have the extra hurdle of not wanting the other to feel feminized because we are also both trans masc. I have thought about the idea of me biting the bullet and doing it since out of the two of us my father is still alive. only issue with that is where his mother is very accepting of our identity my dad is a bit old fashioned.

Don't get my wrong my parents love me, they love my boyfriend (or at least my dad does, mom is a bit iffy but that's a mess I won't get into) and they aren't trying to make me convert or anything but they continuously dead name me and misgender me (never my boyfriend though so). I simply don't want to give my family another feminine thing to link to me, my sister is already trying to push for one of us to wear a dress (not happening, we are both going in suites).

Is there anyone here who has had or has been to a wedding where they found some kind of alternate option to the processional that feels just as special, or perhaps if anyone has an idea of what might work?



Edit: no one said anything about it but I thought I should say, I'm not taking away my dad's chance to walk his child down the aisle, I have an older sister who has already been married.

Second edit: thank you all so much for the ideas so far it warms my heart truly, I can't wait to start discussing the various ideas mentioned with him (I particularly like us simply walking down together that some of you mentioned) you've all been a huge help, again thank you!
