Two Fathers.. Walk down the aisle with both of them, or alone?

There's nothing wrong with having both, I know a lot of people who choose to do that :-) My cousin's dad passed away before she married, and she has 2 brothers who both walked her down the aisle - 1 on either side.

I'm really close to my Dad and my Step-dad, so they are both going to be walking me down the aisle. I don't see anything wrong with it

I'm really close to my step dad and I've also just been trying to have a better relationship with my dad. I'm walking with both of them.

I think having them both walk you down the aisle would be lovely...However, keep in mind the width of the aisle...will it accommodate you and two other people? Perhaps an alternative would be for you to walk down the aisle and meet them both at the end of the aisle where they can each give you a kiss, each hold one of your hands and join you with your FH. Just an idea!

As long as your dad and step-dad are totally fine with each other, I don't see the problem of both of them walking you down the aisle. Although JLu made a fair point about the width of the aisle.

Both of my dads walked me down the aisle

My dad passed away when I was 6 and I always knew my brother would walk me down the aisle, however he suddenly passed away two years ago. So I am having my mom and my sister both walk me down the aisle. They are both so important to me and feel it will symbolize a lot to have them both on my side. So I vote TWO fathers for sure!

I am having the same issue. My step-dad is more of a father to me and has always been there. He deserves to walk me down the aisle. My biological father is in the picture and I dont know how I am going to tell him that he's not walking me down the aisle. Why does it have to be so difficult?

@Christyn, I was in the same situation (my stepdad is much more my "dad" than my bio dad). However, I couldn't choose between them walking me down the aisle. So I did the following:

-both walked me down the aisle

-stepdad sat in the first seat

-stepdad gave the toast at the wedding

-I danced with hubby, then stepdad, then bio dad

This way, I didn't exclude my bio dad but my stepdad got all of the traditional "dad" roles first.

You can have them both walk you down the aisle. Have one walk you half-way and the other one walk the other half. It'll be symbolically like your life!

My cousin's wife walked down the aisle with both of her fathers and it was wonderful! The picture she got with her dads was absolutely priceless, both men so proud and one happy bride with a father at each side I say go for it!

PS Just a side note, this was a FANTASTIC wedding in beautiful SD, CA. DH and I attended this wedding together and had a blast!

Nothing wrong at all with both walking you down the aisle. My friend K had both her dad and maternal grandfather walk her down the aisle and give her away.

I'm also having both of my dads walk me down the aisle. It's something you'll remember forever, and so will they.

Like Sheida M. said, I like the idea of one walking you halfway and then passing you off to the other to finish walking. I'm considering this for mine -- I don't have a stepdad, but I'm very close with my grandfather and would like him to have a part in the day.

My dad and step dad do not like each other, like at alllll. I already have them sharing a song, I'm gonna have my real dad dance with me first then my step dad, and the dress I have picked out is pretty wide.

My FW was in a very similar situation. Her bio dad was absent for most of her life and she considers her step dad fer REAL father. In the end both are walking her down. They don't get along either. But will put that aside for their daughter.

I suggest taking the idea of having one of them walk you half-way and then the other one take over then...especially if they don't like eachother and your dress is wide. Or have them meet you at the end (although I don't think that's as special or meaningful). Also, like @Abby said, they will get over it on your wedding day!

I am torn and recently broke off my wedding because my real father will not accept my stepfather to be on the other side of me down the aisle and I can't do that to my stepfather he's been there more than my real father so now what what do I do when you're real father won't allow your stepfather to be on the other side of you?
