i got married last week and both my stepdad and my dad walked me down the aisle and they both "gave me away". it is all up to you whether u want both or not. my stepdad and i got into arguments all the time growing up but when i moved out and had my son he was always there for me so i asked them both to walk with me. if you have this kind of relationship with your stepdad talk to both your dad and your stepdad together and tell them what you are thinking. good luck.

If you have had a great relationship with your dad and he has been there for you, have him do it. On the other hand, there is nothing saying, you can't have both. Technically though, if you have both, once you are at the end of the isle, your stepdad needs to sit by your mother and let your dad finish the job.

When the minister or whom ever is marrying you asks your dad whom gives this bride..... It would be really classes if he says something like, "all 3 or 4 of her parents". He is then acknowledging your step dad. The 4th is if your dad is remarried and includes his wife as well.

I not sure what to tell you. I a Step-Dad and my step-daughter told me one day, when she got married she wanted me to walk her, as she not get along well with her real dad. At, that time, I told her she should let her dad do this when the time come. If, he refused then I would be more than proud to walk her. But, I did understand if I not get too and would love her just the same.
But, maybe both a good idea too. I not really know them and you do.

This is just my opinion, and I'm sure others will disagree. As long as you have a good relationship with your real father I would just have your him walk you down the aisle. During the reception after you do the father-daughter dance, make sure you also do a step-father-daughter dance (or half way through the father-daughter dance have your ste-father cut in and finish the dance with you). Honor your relationship with your step-father that way and let your father have the honor of walking you down the aisle.

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials.

well u seem to have a bit of a problem and let me try to help! well honestly I think that you should let your blood related father walk you down the isle. because most father's have just enough of a hard time letting go of their little girls and well you know what I mean. but if your father is not like that then you should...not listen to me for one but maybe just try talking to an aunt because, well my mom would aim for most likely what I would not like to do!BUT if you would like to walk them both down the isle that is great, it is you and your prince charming's wedding
ps dont let this little problem ruin your big day!
pss congratulations!!!

I think you need to ask your father and step father if they would be comfortable with that. You could possible let one walk you down the aisle and let the other do the father daughter dance withyou at the reception. Its your wedding and I am sure they will be open to a compromise.

What about walking down the isle with your fiance?

I would walk with both of them. My dad walked my stepsister down part of the way and her father took her to the alter. It was very sweet and acknowledge both of them in her life.

I would say no. But make sure if this stepfather is an important part of your life and not just your mothers husband that you find ways to include him in your day as your parent. You are lucky enough(i think) to have three or four people who helped raise you.

is your step dad a huge person in your life? if so, then i would say yes.

i would be sure that your DAD gives you away but they can both walk you down.

You dont have to ask your step dad though.
