Having two father figures

Jessie, on February 26, 2016 at 9:24 AM Posted in Planning 0 8

I have been so lucky to have my dad and a step dad in my life. I am not sure how to have both involved. Would it be weird to have both of them walking me down the isle? Any ideas that you ladies think would be greatly appreciated.

    Do they get along or can at least recognize that both are important to you? I like the idea of both walking you down the aisle. If you don't go that route I would have a dance with your step dad though. I think you should have a conversation with your dad about it first though, just so the respect is there and he doesn't feel uncomfortable.

    I struggled with this too. My step dad has only been in life for a few years and I know my dad would be upset if my step dad escorted me down the aisle with him. That being said, my step mom and mom are being ushered by my two brothers and my step dad will follow after my mom. That way he is still recognized, but not in a way that would upset my dad.

    Honestly, still haven't figured out the whole father/daughter dance(s) yet though. It's a tricky situation to honor all parents without upsetting some in the process.

    I am having both of my dad's walk me down the aisle. They aren't each others favorite people, but they both have respect for the other, and I think they will be able to get along just fine for one day.

    Not at all. I'm having both my mom and my dad walk me down. They are divorced but get along well. My dad doesn't know but I don't think he'll care. He actually doesn't talk to me about the wedding even when I bring it up. He seems more concerned with me getting pregnant again. He thinks our daughter needs a sister.

    My dad and step dad both walked me down the aisle. And then I did a dance with both of them! If there both important to you then go for it.

    I'm currently dealing with the same scenario! My SD and Mom have been together since i was 3 & him and my dad have never had any problems, but my dad did mention to my FH that he will not walk me down the aisle if my SD walks me too. As frustrated as i am with him since its ultimately my decision i am trying my best to respect his wishes & right now my newest solution is to have my dad walk me down the aisle and when he reaches my FH my SD can stand up and they can both give me away. I want them to both be involved since i was lucky enough to have two dads. I hope this idea helps!! I know it has been weighing on my heart since i found out about my dads comment.

    I've been to a wedding where the father officiated the wedding and the step father walked the bride down the aisle. Or vice versa.
