writes:When I was 19 years old, I had a one night stand with a friend and ended up pregnant. My parents, who always been judgemental and verbally abusive kicked me out when they found out. My cousin, Justin, who is a year older than me, was always close to me. He is a male but he was always been my favorite cousin. I called him the night I was kicked out. He came and picked me up and took me to his house. During my pregnancy, Justin let me live with him rent free. After I gave birth and I put the baby up for adoption, I still live with Justin for a few years (I paid rent starting a few months after giving birth). I'm getting married. Since my parents are not invited (we have not talked since the night they kicked me out), would it be acceptable if Justin walks me down the aisle to give me away?

 I'm sorry your parents were not there for you when you needed them most. Some people are just sh!t parents.
Sounds like Justin stepped up when you needed help and, in my view, sounds like the most appropriate person to give you away. He sounds very special.
I hope you have a lovely wedding.

 Its your wedding and your day. Do what makes YOU happy....I'm sure your cousin would be touched. Its a very sweet gesture and it shows how much he means to you. As long as your hubby is cool with it, I would ask your cousin. Congratulations! I hope your day is beautiful.

 Sure, why not?
If your hubby is OK with that, then why not?
It's your and your husband's wedding! Do what you want!

When my friend got married her boss walked her down the aisle. She wasn’t close to her parents nor did she have any close family members she was fond of so her boss who she had worked for for 15 years & was a father figure to her walked her down.
Obviously her parents weren’t happy & people questioned her choice but she didn’t care!
End of the day your wedding your choice.
