My father was not in my life when I was growing up. Now that I am older he is trying to establish a relationship with me, which is awkward. In the midst of all of this I am planning my wedding. I have every intention on my mom walking me down the aisle and giving me away but my fathers side of the family insists that he walks me down out of tradition. It doesn't feel right at all. I'm having some trouble defending my stance without coming off rude. I want all of my family there without any ill feelings.
I have chosen to allow my father to escort my grandmother down the aisle..but I really can't allow him to do much more than that.
