Help!?!?!?! Father daughter dance with a twist!

Okay sooo I didnt particulary have the traditional mommy daddy up brining, /my biological father was absent my whole entire life (because my mother took me away and moved out of state) until i found him when i was 16 years old. However my mother married a man when i was 4 and since 4 is the earliest i can remember he was the only one i called daddy. there for to me he is my father.

 however he had been in jail most of my life growing up and thats where he currently is now. My biological father will be at my wedding however my mom refuses to let me have the father daughter dance with him because he hasnt been around and thats ok with me because even though my step dad has been in jail my entire life.. i feel he deserves the dance because hes done more for me behind bars then people in my every day life have. He wrote me every day, called me all the time, Hes very artistic and talented hes written me songs and made me cards he always sent me stuff for birthdays and holidays...father daughter dance should be his.

 Anyway there have been 3 other men in my life very important to me. My uncle (he took me to my first father daughter dance in middle school -was so important to me_) my moms ex of 6 years who has been in my life even past there break up (he is arguing he should have the father daughter dance) and my moms current boyfriend (he is the sweetest thing and makes my mom so happy, he has step daughters and they are rotten, he is better deserving then that and id like to include him in my wedding to show how much i appreciate him). 

The bottom line is how can i incorperate all of them? and what songs should i use? my mother thinks i should have an "influential men in my life" dance and i think thats cool but theres three! do i do 3 different songs? or should i start off with one and while were dancing they can just pass me off to the others?

  • I have a step-dad and a bio-dad. I am dancing with each of them to their own song. My sister was going to do one song for both of them and have my step-dad cut in during the middle *kind of like he did in actual life*. My bio-dad didn't come for my sister's wedding though so I don't know how it would have turned out. I like the idea of two different songs though I am afraid people will get really bored.

  • I'm in a similar situation. My bio dad took off when I was born and has been in and out of my life ever since. However, he is still my Dad and he has been "trying" a little harder the last few years and I don't want to hurt his feelings. I was raised by my Aunt and Uncle so in reality my Uncle was more my Dad than anyone and has been there throughout my whole my life. Even though I didn't live with my Mom we are extrememly close and she has been married for the last 5 years. My step-dad is AMAZING!!! We have a great relationship and I introduce him to people as my Dad. I have decided to dance to My Wish By Rascal Flatts it's not to mushy or the traditonal my little girl stuff and I'm dancing with all 3 of them to this song. I'm starting with my uncle moving to my step dad and closing with my bio dad. I hope this helps I was soo stressed out about it too and then I realized, its my wedding I'm going to do what I want. Good luck and congrats.
