Help! I have two dad's!!! Who shall I pick?

I have my step dad and biological dad both have been there for me and both contribute the same amount, I love both dearly. Problem: who shall I have walk me down the isle and who shall give me away? Also who shall I dance with for the father daughter dance and how shall this be announced. One more thing for the announcements/invitations how shall I include both of them? I don't want any of them to feel left out. Someone had to have fallen into this same situation, right? If someone can please give me some ideas. Thanks

Re: Help! I have two dad's!!! Who shall I pick?

No problem! Use them both! I did. I was escorted down the aisle with my uncle on one side, and my stepdad on the other. It was great! There was no way I was going to choose between these two. When the pastor asked, "Who gives this woman?..." They both replied, "We do!" at the same time. It was wonderful. I felt so happy at that moment. Again, with the dancing, dance with both, one right after the other, to two different songs. Just have the DJ or MC announce each one with their names, and who they are to you. Now, the announcements, can be a little tricky. Again, use both dad's names, but the format for that is pretty set, so make sure to refer to a bride's magazine or book, since the forms are in there, or go to a printer, where they can show you an example. However, there is a scenario for using them both. You will find it. But again, you are blessed to have such love accompany you right up to your big day. I wish you and your husband the absolute best.

ask them both?

if i was you i would ask them all for a meeting with you and discuss the issue further with them.if they both get along then maybe they might both do the honour in walking you down the aile (one on each arm). with the first dance, you could have you and your groom dancing first, then you and your step dad, then finish the dance with your real dad. that way no one is left out.

Do they get along with each other? I am in the same boat as you, and my two dad's don't really speak to each other. What would you ladies do in that situation?

Re: Help! I have two dad's!!! Who shall I pick?

I'm going to have both my dads walk me down the aisle and have a song for each of them to dance with me. Alexis, I would talk with them about the situation and if they don't want to share walking you down the aisle, perhaps you can have them choose just one, walk down the aisle or father daughter dance. That way each one gets something to himself that is special. Another thought is if one walks you half-way down the aisle and then they switch off. It's a tough situation.
