Hi! Wedding planning has been giving me some anxiety! I was raised mostly by my mother and stepdad (since I was 2). My stepdad always played a bigger role in my life than my biological dad, and I do plan on having my stepdad be the one to walk me down the aisle and the father-daughter dance, especially since he is helping us financially with our venue! My fiance and my stepdad are also pretty close.
The thing is - I don't want to hurt my biological dad's feelings. I've barely seen him over the last few years, only get the occasional birthday text, and he's never even met my fiance! He's not a bad guy, he just never really knew how to "be a dad" and as I've gotten older he's been less involved. When I did get engaged in November, I texted him a picture - he replied "congrats", but that was it. I sent out save-the-dates last month (we are getting married in July), and I still haven't heard much else from him. Who knows if he even received it!
I've been putting off calling him since it's awkward, but I was hoping someone could share some advice on how they would maybe ask him if he even wanted to be a part of the wedding or just doesn't care either way? Every time I go to call him, I get anxious. Anyone ever been in a similar situation?
