Who should walk me down the aisle??

Hi!! I’ll try to make this long story short but essentially I’m having trouble making a decision. My dad was in my life raising me until I was about 12 until he and my mom divorced. It was a very messy divorce (financial issues, cheating, you name it), and to this day my mom can still barely speak to him or even about him. He essentially walked away from all of us and hasn’t contributed emotionally, physically, or financially since. For this reason, my mom and I are much closer (obviously) as she really stepped up and did all of the hard work to raise me and my brothers and keep us afloat. My dad and I didn’t really talk much until about 4 years ago when he started making a true effort to be in my life again. We talk and see each other much more regularly and he has been making efforts to be more present in my life specifically.


NOW THE PROBLEM! I love that my dad is making efforts to be around, and I’ve already decided that he and I will do a father daughter dance at my wedding. But I can’t help but feel like he probably shouldn’t be the one to walk me down the aisle. I see it as a huge honor and TBH he didn’t really do any of the work to get me to where I am in life. It would make more sense for my mom to do it, but I don’t want it to be a big scene if he isn’t walking me down the aisle while he’s there that day. I know it’s just a stupid tradition, but I don’t want to hurt his feelings and blatantly point out to all of the guests that he doesn’t deserve to walk me down the aisle. My mom already said she won’t walk WITH him down the aisle so that option is a no-go (classic child of divorce having to pick sides lol). I guess I’m wondering if anyone has an outsiders opinion or has had a similar issue. Any help is appreciated!!
