Bride and Father Dance.... with stepfather also?

If you aren't close to either father, I don't think you need to do one. My dad isn't in my life and if my FH wanted to do one with his Mom, I wouldn't have felt awkward not doing it. If you think it would be more insulting to not do it and you want to avoid the drama, then I guess it's better to do it but if that's not the case, I think it's more than fine for you to skip it. You can just say you're already nervous to do the FH dance and don't want more attention dancing?

Make it a fun one rather than a sentimental one. Not overly emotional but silly and unique that both can do with you together.
It may require a little more planning but it doesn't have to be over the top perfect for it to be special.

I’m doing half songs, starting with my real dad then half way have my step dad ask to have a dance and finish with another half song

Congratulations on getting married, Heather!!

How was your big day? What did you decide to do about the father/step-father dance? I really like Lory's idea of doing two half songs!

It was amazing, thank you!! I ended up doing two half-songs, but split them up so there wasn’t an awkward transition. I danced with my dad, Hubby danced with his mom, then I danced with my stepdad. It worked perfectly for us.
