Father/Daughter dance

Hi ladies,
Im not sure how to handle the father daughter dance. My parents have been divorced since I was 2 and my step-dad has had an active role in my life since I was 3. I've decided to have both my bio dad and step dad walk me down the aisle, but the problem lies in the traditional father/daughter dance. Who do I dance with first, bio dad or step dad?
Thanks for any help!

    Are you set on doing the dance? Maybe you could just make sure to dance with both of them at some point during the night. Trust me, a lot of people don't like watching the parent dances. However, be sure to see about what your FI and his mom want to do. She/they could be fine with skipping it also, but your FMIL may want her moment "to shine." 

    Or, if you are determined to do the parent dances, I guess I would suggest perhaps dancing with your bio dad for the first part of a song, and then have your stepdad step in and finish the song with him. If they get along all right and respect your decision to include them both, I would think they'd understand this.
