The title says it all.. Is your real dad or step dad walking you down the aisle? If you have both.My real dad has NEVER been there for me, never ever..he denied me for the first few years of my life ; and always put my two younger sisters with his actual wife before me. Hes an alcoholic and claims to love/care about me but has NEVER been able to show it. WHENEVER i see him hes rude, one word answers or dosent talk to me. I talk to him MAYBE 6 times a year. My step dad on the other hand is amazing. He has ALWAYS been there for me, always. Hes the next best thing to a real dad. Never ever is their a time when he cant help me out. Always there for me . It may seem Simple. Choose my Step dad, as he is the one whos always been there for me growing up. But I am afraid that my REAL dads family; grandma grandpa aunt; (Who mean the world to me, and who are also always there for me) wont come or be very angry with me if my REAL dad dosent get to walk me down the aisle. CONT.

    I had to make the same choice on the weekend, however it was petty easy becuase my dad, who never has been there for me told me he wasn't even coming to the wedding. So pretty clear it will be my step-Dad, but i was originally going to have my dad walk my half way and my step-dad the rest of the way.

    Neither my dad passed away when I was 19 and I don't have a step dad so my son will be walking me down the isle. He is 19 now and 6'1 so it should be ok just had to tell him he can't pat me on my head on my wedding day, he seems to think that is funny now that he is taller than me.

    Daddy issues are so much fun, aren't they? My father also is a heavy alcoholic, abusive, and a compulsive liar. Hell, I even changed my last name when I was 17. My step dad is my daddy. He raised me and he took me on as his own, even though I was unruly and ungrateful. Daddy's are who you feel in your heart, not necessarily blood.

    Well my dad passed 7 yrs ago so I am having his best friend walk me down the isle. He has always been there for me and my dad when my dad got sick he was always there. Through the good and bad, and my dad asked him to look after us when he died and he does just that.

    I think you should go with your step dad. You bio dad doesn't deserve that honor. His family should understand by the way he has treated you.

    Honestly, your real dad should be lucky if he even gets an invitation. Its your day, you do what makes you happy. My real father isn't invited neither is my step-dad. My younger brothers are walking me down the aisle and anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to come. I thought about inviting them but I don't have a good relationship with either and I only want to cry happy tears at my wedding and so should you. Go with your step-dad.
