Father daughter and walk down the aisle

Kenna, on May 3, 2020 at 8:12 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 5
So I am an only child. My best friend is my bio dad and always has been. When I was 10 my parents and I moved into town and lived next door to my dads best friend. However, at 13 my parents got divorced because my mom cheated on my dad with his then best friend. Now I’m 24 planning my wedding both my bio parents are remarried. My mom and step dad (bio dads best friend) got married in 2018, and my dad got married to my step dad in 2019. What do I do about who walks me down the aisle and the father daughter dance!!! I need advice/help!!

    I would still choose my bio dad in that case.

    Who do you feel the most connected with as “dad”? From your post I’d think your bio-dad, but maybe that’s more of a friendship than a father/daughter relationship. Think about who you have that strongest father/daughter relationship with.

    I’ve seen it where both bio and step dad walk the bride down the isle. One on each side.

    I agree with Kimberly!!

    Without knowing more about your personal relationships, I'd say definitely your biological dad - because he's your dad! Smiley heart You don't have to share that honor with anyone else, unless you want to because they've also acted like a father figure in your life. For example, at the last wedding I attended in Feb the groom did two mother-son dances - one with his mom and one with his step-mom, since his step-mom had been a part of his family since he was 5!

    I am having the same exact problem right now, but mine is between my grandfather that raised me and my dad that I've know for only 5years. I kept thinking about just having them both walk me down the aisle. Then thought maybe instead of having a man I just met not long ago walk me down, wouldn't be so great. The man that raised me, I trust more. Then on another side I said why not have my Grandfather and my Grandmother walk me down, they raised me. What I would do in your position is either have them both walk you down or have your mother and father walk you down. Just have your mom walk you, Or screw it all and walk by yourself. You can also come up with a dance that involves both of your fathers, instead of having one father dance with you. Or have half of the dance be with your bio dad and the other half with your step dad.
