step father daughter dance

Even though I'm having my dad and stepdad walk me down the aisle, I've decided against dancing with him (stepdad) as well. Not because I don't want to but because I don't want to have another set dance and I know it would be uncomfortable for him.

If you feel as close to your stepdad as your dad, I would go about picking a song the same way. One that is meaningful to your relationship. Even if it's a silly pop one instead of the usual slow song. You really can't control your dads reaction to you dancing with him. But make sure he knows it's going to happen so it doesn't side blind him at the reception.

I'm pretty much in the same boat...my dad will be the only one walking me down the aisle but I would like to acknowledge my stepdad somehow, however I'm not sure if I want to add ANOTHER dance to the timeline or just have it later in the reception. I know a dance will happen, I'm just not sure how much I want to spotlight it as well as not slight dad and upset him

Same boat here, too. I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I will be reading this thread closely!

My dad is the only one walking me down the aisle. And he knows that I will be dancing with them both. At first he was very unhappy about it but when I told him that it will be later on in the reception and not announced he became slightly more ok with it. Since my step dad is also my DJ I think I am going to let him pick the song. To be fair since my dad picked his.

We made it a little less formal, by having me dancing with my stepdad and brothers while DH danced with his sisters. We danced to "Because You Loved Me", and had the DJ make an announcement saying something like "The bride and groom would like to take a moment to thank those those who have been an important part of their lives. So would............ please come to the dance floor to share a special dance with the bride and groom"

My stepfather and I danced to "Wildflowers" by Tom Petty.

Not overly focused on a father-daughter relationship, but it still seemed to fit!

My dad is not in the picture so it is just my stepdad. We are going to dance to brad paisley's he didn't have to be.

SarahJ that is a great song choice.

This is my second wedding, I danced with both of my dads at my first. My biological dad passed away for years ago so this go around I will be just dancing with my step-dad. He is a dad to me- he is not just my moms husband. He has been a big part of my life for 28 years. I never gave my bio dad an option to be mad at the first. That being said the first time was butterfly kisses for both of them. This time is I loved her first.

I am having to deal with the same thing. I would love to just have all the traditions with my step father since he has been there every step of the way. However, my paternal grandmother feels like its disrespectful. At this point and time, I really don't know what I am going to do.

I am having the same problem, my father past away 4 years ago, my step father has been a dad to me since I was young I am having him and my paternal grandfather walk me down the isle but dancing with my step dad for my first dance. I do not know what song to choose to not upset my grandparents.

I am in a similar situation. My step father has been in my life since I was 13, we had a rocky start, but when I grew up and realized he meant nothing but the best our relationship got better. He treats me like I was his own. My father and my step father will both be walking me down the isle, and I will be dancing with both. I didn't want to do a typical father/daughter song with my step father cause I don't want to upset my dad. I picked my wish by rascall flatts for my stepdad.

I am dancing with my grandfather as well as my dad and my dad and I are not very close. This made it hard to pick a song because I needed one that wasnt too much about our relationship, I chose "I hope you dance". Good luck

My stepsister asked my dad to take the Father of the Bride role for her wedding because her dad is an asshat and always has been to her.

She picked "How sweet it is to be loved by you".
