I asked my mom to walk me down the aisle, and she aggreed. A few days later, she asked me if it would be ok for her to walk with me on one side and her husband on the other.
Ok, so the man in question has known me for the last 8ish years, but has only been with my mom for 5. By the time they got together and married, I was already out of the house, engaged and pregant. He was never a father figure to me. That said, he is very active in my life (helped my mom find me and my family a house closer, let us borrow money to move, gave me my first job as a teen). He is also very close with our children, he held my 3yo son less than 30 mins after his birth, and they have been inseperable since (which is one of the reasons he helped us move). I attended their church sometimes, and usually introduce myself as "Ken and GIna Beck's daughter".
He only had 2 sons, and his one grandaughter eloped and hid her marriage for over a year, so, according to my mom, "was cheated out of it."
He is a good husband to my mom, and the best grandfather I could ever want for my children, but.. I dunno, walking me down the aisle is a big deal, reserved for someone I am supposed to be very close too. I'm not sure if I want him to. But I'm also not sure how to say no without hurting his feelings.
I was thinking maybe they could both walk me down, but when asked "Who hands this woman over" my mom would answer with "I do".
Is there any other part in the wedding he could be part of? I have never attened a wedding, and am planning this all on my own, so I don't have many ideas...
Thanks!
