Help! I've got two dads!!!!

i desperately wanted to have a traditional wedding, but i'm discovering that it's hard to have a traditional wedding in a non-traditional family. i have two dads. the man who made me (my father) and the man who raised me (my step-father). i have to ask one of them to give me away at my wedding and i really don't want to choose between them. i love them both very much and i am close to both of them. i dont' know what to do about this because i dont' want to hurt either of them. i realize that everyone can't be in my wedding, but these are two very important figures in my life. what should i do?

Unless they despise each other, there's really no reason you couldn't have them both walk you down the aisle. (And even if they DON'T get along, they can probably be convinced to put aside their differences for your sake.)

My cousin had both her stepfather and biological father give her away. And my baby sister, when she was married 10 years ago, also had two to give her away. Neither one was her father (my step-father), who had died when she was 13. So she asked our brother to do the honors, but she also asked the father of her best friend -- a man who had been a surrogate father to her.

When you have a non-traditional family, you can still do traditional things, just by adding a non-traditional twist. So, you can either have them both walk you all the way down the aisle, or have each one walk you half-way. Personally, I vote for both walking you the entire distance.

You can have your father walk you down the aisle and have your first dance with your stepfather, then your dad. You may also consider just having your biological father walk you down the aisle with a special reading or poem from your step da at the ceremony.

I love the idea of both doing the honors! When the preist says who gives this woman to be wed, they can say WE DO! Awwwwwww

When a dear friend of mine got married, she wanted both my Dad who watched over her here in the US, and her Dad who lived in Jamaica to both walk her down the isle. My dad walked her halfway down, and then her dad walked her the rest of the way....just a thought

Hey, why not sit down and tell them how you feel--having them both accompany you is a great idea! More love
