My biggest stress over my wedding is who is to walk me down the aisle?!!! I know traditionally it's the father of the bride, but my problem is I don't have a deep father/daughter relationship with my biological father. My step-father has been involved in my life for 24 years and i call him by his name to his face, but when i talk about him to people i refer to him as my "dad". He's been a massive part of life and has done more for me than my biological father has ever done - (he once came to Birmingham from a night shift in Gloucester to help me move house at uni after my biological father said "no it's too far to travel") Deep down i know who i want to walk me down the aisle and it's my step-father, but i also don't want to cause family arguments by not asking my biological father to do it. I know my step-father would feel snubbed but wouldn't say anyrhing to upset me. What do i do??
I am having the exact same feeling and our situation is very similar. I was thinking I may do half and half, as in biological dad halfway, then step dad the last half… would you consider this?
I had this dilemma when I first booked my wedding but then my step dad fell ill and unfortunately passed away. I was going to make the aisle big enough for both of them to walk me down. It would have been a little awkward as they didn't get along but it wasn't about them. Since planning the wedding though, me and my dad have become closer.
