Who should walk me down the aisle?

Mackenzie, on January 24, 2021 at 12:31 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7

So I have my mom, my step dad, and my biological father. I want my step dad to walk me down the aisle because he stepped in and raised me with my mom since I was 6. My biological father is in my life, but he doesn't do a great job of being my father, but I still love him and think he should be a part of my big day. My mother has sacrificed so much for me since the day I was born. I don't know if I should just have her walk me down and both of my dads walk behind us, or if I should have my mom and step dad walk me, or if I should have both of my dads walk me. It has been a battle in my head since I could remember. I don't want anyone feeling left out or less loved on my big day. What should I do?

    Those are all good options you mentioned! Here's a few other ideas too: you could have your dad walk you halfway down the aisle, and then have your step dad walk you down the other half of the aisle! Or, you could have just your mom walk with you. Or, you could walk down the aisle by yourself. When you envision walking down the aisle (without worrying about hurting anyone's feelings), who do you want to be by your side? I think you should choose that option, since it's your wedding and you should have who you want walk you down the aisle.

    I wouldn't ask biological dad since you said you don't have a good relationship with him. I probably wouldn't invite him either for this reason. You don't have to invite you know since it should be nearest and dearest. Ask stepdad.

    My stepdad married my mom when I was one so he’s always been there. I’m having both my father and step father walk me at the same time. linking arms and having them on either side of me.

    I walked my daughter down. I love the idea of your mom walking you with your dads following behind.

    I love the idea of having your mom walk you down. You can also have one of them walk you down and the other do the first dance with you. Ultimately do what makes you happy.

    You can be walked down by both your mother and step father or like a pp said, you can do the half way. If you ware wanting to incorporate bio dad, you could have him walk you the first half and then hand you off to your step dad and mother who will walk you the rest of the way.
