I haven't had a father since I was 2. I just got a father 2 weeks ago and I don't even know the man. I am not sure what you do with him. He asked to walk me down the aisle and I wanted my brother to do it. I just don't know what to do... I am not exactly sure how I am suppose to accept him. Please help!!

My real father beat us and left us to fend for our own. Lucky mom learned English and kept us afloat. She just remarried 2 weeks ago.

You should either have your brother walk you down the aisle. Talk to your new stepdad and explain that you would like your brother since he has kind of been a father figure to you since you were two. Explain it nicely and thank him for his offer. Tell him you are going to reserve a dance for him at the reception so everyone can see you are so proud of your stepdad. Good luck!

Let your brother walk you down the aisle. The new father is only 2 weeks old. TOO new to walk someone down the aisle.
Or walk down yourself.
With the father/daughter dance, you don't NEED one.

Did your real father JUST come back into your life 2 weeks ago? You are not very clear about this person.
Have your brother walk you down the aisle as this is what you planned. Don't worry about hurting this man's feeling whether he is your real father or not.
My brother walked me down the aisle and I was so proud when he did.

Do what's in your heart. Like you've said, you barely know the man... I don't see how you can let him walk you down the aisle. Just have your brother walk it. But it would be nice if you could include him in the wedding party... an usher, maybe? Talk to him and tell him you appreciate the offer and that you'll save him a dance... and just be honest and let him know how you feel!
Good luck and congratulations on the upcoming wedding! =)

Keep the plan to have your bother walk you down the aisl. Enlist Mom's help to explain that to her new hubby. And your Mother's husband is not "your father" - doesn't sound like you had one, and this man will have to understand that, however well-intentioned" he can't just jump in a fix your entire childhood. Good luck sweetie & happiness

you should ask your mother to walk you down the isle, then your grandfather if he is living and can do it (if you want) and then your brother maybe an uncle??
but not a step dad you just met, if all else fails brides do walk down the isle by themselves, and the pastor would of course not ask who gives bride away.

Let your brother walk you down and tell him although you are flattered and appreciate his sentiment that it is important for you to have your brother walk you down.

I would stick with having your brother do it. Is there something you can do to recognize your mother and her new husband? Maybe during the dancing or something?

It's your day. Do what makes you happy. Everyone will understand, and if they dont.... just tell them "you are the bride"
