i need help!

I can’t decide to ask my step dad or my biological dad to walk me down the isle. My stepdad has been super supportive and has paid for everything while my dad has said nothing but negative things. Please help!! I need outside opinions

    Ask your stepdad! Your dad could do something else like a saying or first dance?

    I saw something where the stepdad walked the daughter halfway and then the daughter was taken the rest of the way by her biological father. It was sweet!

    Hmmmm how is your relationship with your biological dad normally? If it is usually rocky then go with the stepdad but if he is just being difficult because of the wedding I like the idea of the PP. Have both walk you down, Would it be cheesy to have both escort you down the aisle at the same time?

    I see my dad probably 6 times a year and we are really awkward around each other

    I do not want to cause problems with your real dad but it sounds like you have a much closer relationship with your real dad. I would ask your mom for sure but I feel stepdad should be a bit more included. If you do not want to offend dad maybe both can walk you down because I feel the step dad should be included or maybe stepdad walks you down the aisle and real dad gets first dance or they can both participate in both? Sorry if I am not being helpful.

    I have two dads. I was not going to pick, so I decided to walk myself down. That said, I have an OK relationship with both. If I had the two extremes in relationships you describe, I wouldn't hesitate to ask my stepdad to walk me. You don't know your negative, unsupportive dad anything other than (MAYBE) an invitation to come as a guest.


    Keep this in mind: no matter what decision you make, someone might still be unhappy. But that doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Make your decision and trust your gut. Then just change the subject whenever anyone brings it up!

    Personally, I would ask your stepdad. He has been supportive along the way. Your wedding day is the most special day in your life. You do not need any negative vibes. Good luck and congratulations

    I went to a wedding with a stepdad and bio dad were very involved. All around good feels. The bride had both walk her down the aisle. The in unison said her mother and I do ( cute) and they shared her father/daughter dance. One started the dance, the other cut in, was handed off and finished the dance. It was very well done and unique.


    But you said your having issues. Do you think your dad is worried that he won't get to be involved? Are there bad feelings between stepdad and bio dad - all of these things could change the dynamic. I would have a talk first with both dads and see if they would do this for YOU. Whichever is unwilling gets the boot lol.

    If you feel you WANT your stepdad to but HAVE to have your biological dad do it, have them both do it!

    I think the clear answer here is your stepfather. It seems that he’s been more supportive than your biological father.
