I am having a terrible time deciding how I want to acknowledge both my dad and step dad on the day of my wedding! Over the past few years, my dad and I have became a lot closer than what we were when I was growing up, being as my parents were divorced and I only saw him very other weekend. Now he lives closer to me and we spend more time together. As I am getting older, I am realizing how special he really is to me and how deeply we care for each other. My step dad has been in my life for almost 15 years. He was there for me through thick and thin. Did things my dad did not do for me when I was not close to my dad. He worked himself to the bone to support my sister and I as if we were he his kids. Now that I am going to be celebrating the biggest day of my life, I want to include them in is as much as possible, without hurting either one of their feelings. I have came up with a few options and am looking for opinions on what I should do. The first idea I thought of was to have two separate dances at the reception and have my real dad walk me completely down the aisle. The other idea I have is to have my step dad walk my half way down the aisle, give him a flower for my mother when he sits down, and then my father will give me away to my fiance and I will give him a flower for my step mom when he sits down. The mothers do not know about the flower idea and will not know until the day of. Thought it would be a good tear jerker! My dilemma is that I do not want my real dad to be hurt by me wanting to include my step dad in the aisle walking. They both mean a TON to me and I want them both to feel involved and appreciated! HELP?!?!?!
