Walking down the aisle with two dads

My fiancee and I are having a small dilemma that I need some ideas. Her real father who has been a small part of her life is insistent that he be the one to walk her down the aisle but her step dad has been there for much of her whole life. She thought to have them both walk her down the aisle but her real dad says he wants to have his moment... what ever that means. If it wasn't for his financial contribution we wouldn't be so worried about this issue if you know what I'm saying. Does anyone have any creative ideas to incorporate them both into the ceremony? Thanks

    She could walk halfway down the aisle with one and then the other half with the other.

    Watch the video of the real dad that went and got the step dad to share the honor of walking the bride down the aisle last year or maybe year before.

    I just bawled watching that! I really think your FW should tell her dads what she wants, and see if they can be willing to set aside their pride to give her the moment she wants.

    I know this wouldn't be for the ceremony, but my cousin's wife did two separate father daughter dances during their reception. One with her dad and the other with her stepdad because she had an amazing relationship with both of them. Both dads got their special moment with her. Interestingly enough, she chose to have neither of them walk her down the aisle. She asked her mom to walk with her.

    I had my dad and step dad walk me down and then did a dance with both of them at the reception. I think she needs to have a talk with them because if my dad tried to tell me I couldn't have this moment with my step dad as well as him we would have had some issues.

    I just officiated a wedding where all of the parent AND step-parents replied, "We all do" when I asked who represented the couple's families. That bride walked down the aisle by herself.

    Perhaps your officiant can ask and everyone reply.
