Posted in Planning 25

Hey you guys my situation starts off as my parents are divorced and have been for a while ,both remarried with kids and I have always feared when the day I get married are my parents going to be on their best behavior and well here you go for up to date .My mother took the role of the wedding planner and was helping setup and etc. My mom wants things to go her way or no way !! she is on 10 when it come down to this wedding she decides that she wants my step dad to walk me half way and my dad walk the rest of the way and my father and daughter dance to be with my step dad first and then my dad .I informed my biological dad and he stated that he didn't want to come if we were going to have all that going on ;( so I try to find a different role my step dad can do such as prayer and a reading and my mom went off and stated that she wanted a special thank you for my step dad in the program and I told my mother NO I will do a toast continued in coments..

I feel your pain. I had to navigate some tricky situations with stepparents too, and it's so ridiculously easy to hurt someone's feelings. But you just have to make your decisions and stick to them.
As Muriel said, part of being an adult is learning to stand up to your parents.

I have bitterly divorced parents. They won't even look at each other. They are both remarried.
When we first started planning I talked to my mom about how I felt bad that it would be my dad walking me down the aisle because she was equally deserving (believe me, having both would not work). And she said to me, "I would never want to take that away from your father. That would be so hurtful."
That's how a parent deals with things. She didn't make me feel bad about it and was completely supportive even though she frankly hates the man.
Your mom is being, well, mean to you. Don't let her turn this into a negative experience for you. Make the decisions that are right for you.

Oh Laura. Moms don't always do that. My didn't. Yours isn't. I think I might have and I hope I do again.
You'll be fine, we're here to shore you up!

Sorry I believe the father (biological father) should have the honor of walking his daughter down the aisle and giving her away regardless if the bride has a good relationship with step dad or not.
