daddy/step-daddy

Name: Ashley
Question:

My parents divorced when I was very young and my mom remarried. I am still very close to ny real dad, but at the same time I love my step-dad and want him to have a prominent role in my wedding too. I know that traditionally, the father of the bride should walk her down the asile, but I am having a hard time leaving out my step-dad. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can include my step-dad without making him feel uncomfortable or hurting my real dad's feelings?
Thanks,
Ashley


It sounds as though you have a good relationship with both of your Dad's, so why not have both of them walk you down the aisle, one on each side. Let them both know how much they mean to you and that you don't want to leave one out, just to follow "tradition." I am sure your biological Dad knows how close you are to him and to your step dad and understand that these are your wishes and it is important to you. It is your day and you wish to include both of them!
