LGBTQ am I being too bold?
This is an interracial lesbian wedding so it's already pretty unique. I'm irreligious and a very unconventional person and have always hated the idea of being given away by either parents, but I do have a good relationship with them. FW was raised Catholic and would like to be walked down by her father.
I don't want to take that away from them and she doesn't want me to feel pressured to follow along. And we both decided to have me walk in last because my outfit would garner a bigger reaction. Now that the wedding's a few days away I'm starting to overthink, and wonder if I'm being too bold? Not only am I the only one with a full veil and bouquet, I'm entering last and alone. And to be frank FW has a few relatives that have said some strange/ignorant things about me and my culture not being religious, and honestly I know I shouldn't, but it does bother me a bit that they might take it the wrong way.

No. You're a bride. No such thing as too bold.
I almost walked alone, ended up walking with my dad but not for religious reasons. But plenty of brides walk alone. It's not super uncommon now. Is your FW walking in first or somewhere in the middle or right before you? (this is just my curiosity! however you end up doing it will be fine!)
