Ok, so my parents divorced when i was a year old. they each remarried and i ended up with 4 parents who love me and were all an active part of my life. (my mother and i no longer speak and she is not to even know that i am being married after some serious major issues which cause serious concerns for the safety of my family) but back to the point, My father and I were very close when i was small but as i grew up while we stilll speak several times a week,we are not as close now. my stepfather on the other hand, i am very close with. I would not dream of not having him walk me down the aisle. I am daddy's little girl to him and always will be. the issue is that my Father just assumed that he and only he would walk me down the aisle. Now i have no intention of keeping that from my father but assumed they both would do it. My father is under the assumption that i adore him, which while i of course love my dad, he is not the type of person i would idolize. now i am trying to figure out a way to handle this with no hard feelings. both want to be the one to give me away(or actually to present this woman in support of the decision she has made today to be joined with this man) why can't they both just do it?? and how do i avoid the happiest day of my life being made into such an issue?

     While having both of them do it may seem a great compromise to you, it might make both of them very unhappy.

     I know others in similar situations who have had a better reception from the 2 Dads, having one escort them down the aisle, and the other the first Daddy daughter dance.
     Either way - good luck. Actually, you are already pretty lucky having a father and stepdad who both care so much!

I am planning on doing a dance with each of them, and my stepfather is definitely walking me down the aisle. he is ok with sharing the issue is my father who i am not as close with so I told him Step Dad is walking me if you decide you can't share this moment with him when you had no problem sharing the responsibilities of raising me with him then you are going to be the one missing out and regreting it later. so either it will be just step dad or both, he is just throwing a temper tantrum AGAIN. i am almost ready to elope! but i will not let anyone take my day away, so i just have to put down my foot for once

I'm sorry you are put in this situation. I can understand why your dad is upset but it's very unreasonable and petty to think you would ignore your step dad.

Sorry that you have to be adult here and say, you can either walk me down the aisle with step dad or you can walk me the first half and then step dad will walk me the rest of the way or you can choose not to do either. It's your decision but I expect you to act like an adult no matter what you choose. Let me know what you decide because it's not open to negotiation.

Good luck!
