My parents were divorced when i was 3 and my dad moved to california..my mom remarried when i was 7. I stayed close to my dad, talk all the time and went to Ca to visit every summer and he has come here a few times a year to see me. Now that my wedding is coming up im getting a little stressed out thinking about whos gonna walk me down the isle and who will i dance with for the father/daughter dance. My stepdad has raised me and we are so close but at the same time i am close with my dad too. I feel that if i have my stepdad walk me down or dance with me my dad will be upset and the other way around. Has anyone had to deal with this??? I dont know what to do...Thanks

Re: dad and stepdad???
I don't really get along with my father and I am very close to my step-father. I had my Stepfather walk me half way and then hand me off to my Dad. I had the band announce my dance with my father but not the one with my step-father.
I showed my step-father mostly the same exact respect as my father I just didn't have the announcements because my father pitched a HUGE fit! It all worked out in the end!!!

Re: dad and stepdad???
I get along with both my father & stepfather. What I did was had my mother & father walk me down the aisle. Then I did a special dance with my father AND my stepfather- it worked out very well.

Re: dad and stepdad???
i am in the same boat and both parents are paying. i am having my stepdad walk me half way down the isle and hand me to my dad to walk the rest. we are also doing two father dances to be fair.
you could also have both dads walk you down on both arms

Re: dad and stepdad???
I am having the same problem. The same EXACT problem actually. i asked this question a few weeks ago and got a lot of help. I will try to find the post and send you the link, maybe it will help you too.. I think I am going to have my dad walk me down the first half (he was in my life first) then I will have my step dad give me away (he raised me from the age 5) then I want to dance with my mom at the reception. SO far that is the advice I have taken and it sounds good to me.. Or if they both wouldn't mind, maybe they both can walk me down the aisle.. GOOD LUCK.. any more ideas let me know..
