Two Fathers To Walk You Down The Aisle

Kaitlin, on February 1, 2020 at 9:43 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 6
I have a dad and a step dad. I would like both of them to walk me down the isle. How do I go about this? Do I need to make sure the isle is larger than normal? What do they wear, should they match or what? How do I ask them?

    They can just wear what they planned on wearing. I would make sure your aisle can fit 3 people abreast comfortably. As far as asking goes, I’d definitely ask them well in advance, in person. I don’t know about the relationships (between you and between them), but my sister waited until the night before the wedding to let our dad know she wanted him and our step dad to walk her down the aisle and he ended up not coming for the wedding because he was so hurt (not that I agree with his actions, but he had no time to process it and our parents’ divorce was pretty rough for him)).

    You could have your step father walk you down the aisle the first half to hand you off to your father, and then allow your father to walk you down the aisle the second half to hand you off to your Fiancé. Once your step father hands you off to your father, he should shake your father’s hand and precede to his seat. This will in return allow your father to give you away to your Fiancé. I hope I explained it clearly :-)

    I am having both my father and step dad walk me down the whole length of the aisle, one linked in each arm! My step dad doesn’t have any kids of his own. My dad and step dad have both gotten along very well over the years. I’ve gone out to dinner with my siblings, my mom, step dad and real father many times. I would just ask them straight forward and say how since they’re both a big part of your life you want them both there. As for what they’re wearing, I would just let them wear whatever they plan on it!

    I never thought of that of that at all! Thanks for the idea, Courtney!

    I guess I was just concerned with what they’d wear, only so they’re not both completely mismatched if we all walk together.
