Hi all. My dad passed away my senior year of high school and so of course will not be able to walk me down the aisle. My mom remarried a couple of years ago, but I don't really consider her husband as a "dad" -- I was in my late 20's/on my own when they got married.
I was planning to walk myself down the aisle; I am in my early 30's now and this will be my second marriage (1st time I eloped... want to "do it right" this time!), combined with the fact that there really isn't anyone in my life right now who I would consider a "father figure" (if anything that role would go to my future FIL)
The trouble is, my mom has already asked her husband if he would be okay with walking me down the aisle, and he is very honored to be asked. I don't want to hurt his feelings, and I'd be okay with him walking me down the aisle. I'm not sure about the father/daughter dance though. I'd be willing to skip the dances altogether, but I know that it's important to my future MIL (whom I also adore) to have the dance with her son, so I'd like to keep them for her sake.
I do have an uncle (mom's sister's husband) who holds a special place in my heart, as he has been there for me & my mom throughout the years, especially after my dad passed. If we do the dances, I'd be perfectly fine sharing a dance with him... would that be weird to have one person walk me down the aisle, and have a different person share the father/daughter dance? We (FH & I) have also discussed combining the two dances to make it a little less conspicuous.
Any advice or comments is appreciated! Thanks all!
