I know this is 11 months in advance, but I was just wondering what you girls are doing for Father/Daughter dances...

I have a biological Father who I met when I was 21 and really has not much to do with my life (but is coming)

I have an adopted Father who adopted me when I was about 2.. I have his last name and call him Dad

Then, I have a step-father who came into my life when I was about 12 and has paid my way through college and supported me and my mom since they got married....

WHAT DO I DO!>!> Do people do more than one father/daughter dance?? Is that awkward>?? Do I choose one, 2, all 3?/ Or do NONE!

WOW ladies thank you so much for all your responses!! I do feel a lot better about it not being so WEIRD to do more than one!

Thing is, my biological father although he is coming, hasnt made ANY effort to be a part of my life since I met him
I feel like he shouldnt be treated equally as the other fathers, but then again am I being MEAN by not including him??
For me, this is why weddings are so stressful! I have such a complicated family and I dont want anyone to be hurt!!

I would totally dance with ALL three. you can make it really classy/cute looking.
Pick ONE song- really long.. and have all three sit in chairs around you, dance with bio dad first, then step dad then adoptdad. have each one 'cut in'
I know someone who did this.. but with her grandfather, brother, and two uncles, as her father passed away. she started with her uncles then to her grandfather then her brother. it was beautiful!

who's walking you down the aisle?

I think im going to have my mom do it~!

Tough one... I think I might dance with all 3... but not 3 full songs.... maybe i'd split a song with all 3 of them

really good idea

I went to a wedding where the bride started off the song dancing w/ her biological dad and then halfway through she danced w/ her step-dad and her sister (MOH) danced w/ their biological dad. It wasn't weird at all.

I think you should start the dance off with whichever dad you are closest to and has impacted your life the most.

i like this idea... i think it would be great to dance with all 3, but it will definitely start to get a little boring and might make it harder to get back to up beat partying if it goes on for a long time!

I would dance with whoever you feel is a dad to you and if that is all three than that is all three. it is your time to honor them and have a speical momment. I would cut down the lenght of the songs though.
