writes:When I was 10 years old, my father passed away. My uncle (my dad's brother) stepped up to the plate and helped my mom, my brother and I out. My uncle was single with no kids of his own and he always spent time with my brother and I, even before my dad died.My uncle paid for our tuition (private school for high school and he helped pay for our college tuition). He took us to museums, Aquariums, zoos, tent camping, fishing, hunting, est. Depending on the subject, sometimes our mom would help us with our homework and sometimes our uncle would come over to help with our homework. So our uncle played a major part in my brother's and my life. My mom is an elementary school teacher (an important job that unfortunately doesn't pay that great where we live at).Next year, I am getting married in a small wedding. Would it be appropriate for me to ask my uncle to walk me down the aisle?

 I think that is a lovely thing to do, and totally appropriate.
I bet you uncle would be absolutely made up that he will be walking you down the aisle.
So go ahead and ask him, and good luck.

 Absolutely yes. Your uncle has no biological children of his own but has been a father figure to you and your brother since his brother died, effectively helping to raise you both. I am sure he will consider it an honor and be delighted to walk you down the aisle.
In your shoes I would mention it to your mum before asking him though, as it may be a little bitter-sweet for her, knowing your father (her husband) should have been the one doing the honors.
Wishing you much happiness and a wonderful wedding day.

 Of course!!
Maybe ask your mom what she thinks? Before you ask?
I think it would be 100% appropriate.
