Advice needed ! We've been asked to walk down the aisle at my brother's wedding, the the bride's side married siblings are walking down as well... I've never done this as an adult, just wondering -do we hold hands? Do we just randomly walk? I know it sounds like a stupid question but it's actually giving me a little anxiety...
TIA

Do whatever you want. Hold hands, link arms, don't hold hands. Just smile.

When DH and I walked down the aisle at my siblings’ weddings we just walked side by side. We didn’t hold hands, which would have been awkward for DH (or a niddah problem in one case), but no one noticed anything was different because I was holding flowers.

Do what you’re comfortable with. All in all no one will notice or care what you guys are doing. It’s not your day. The focus is on the couple getting married. Mazal tov!

Why not ask the hosts?

In more yeshivish circles, I don't usually see people holding hands now that I think about it but I don't think I'd call it unacceptable.

Will you be holding flowers? If so, holding hands wouldn't really be feasible anyway.

Even the Chassan/Kallah don't hold hands after the Chuppah in more yeshivish circles. Depending on your circles, OP, holding hands in public may or may not be acceptable.

In the yeshivish circles adult siblings don't usually walk down so it's a non-issue.

We were asked to walk down by some siblings. We did not hold hands in public, it's not negotiable for us. I've always held flowers so I just hold with both hands and dh walks close to me. I don't think anyone had an issue with it, I've watched the video and it looks fine.

My family is pretty modern and at my bil's wedding, my husband and I walked down with linked arms. In more yeshivish settings I've seen couples just walk next to each other, or holding children, candles, or flowers.

In the really yeshivish weddings, couples don't walk down the aisle together.

If your walking down, do whatever you want!
