Step-Father vs. Father

This seems like a common issue here on the knot...... Here's my story and dilema.

My bio father has never really been a big part of my life.  He calls on my birthday, usually a couple of days late, and I see him a couple of times a year.  Nothing ever consistant.  My step father has been more of a father to me my whole life.  He is there for every holiday, birthday, my childrens birthdays.....everything.  I know that I want my step-father to walk me down the aisle, no question.  I am wondering how to handle the father daughter dance.  Do I dance with both of them, if so, do I pick 2 songs, who do I dance with first?    For some strange reason I am worried about hurting my fathers (both of them) feelings. 

Thanks for the advice!

  • Thanks everyone, I think I have decided that I will have my stepfather walk me down the aisle and dance with him first then dance with my bio father, two songs short and sweet.  I'm just going to do what I WANT!  Thanks again for all of your advise!

  • i have both a dad and a stepdad too!  And I love them both but there was about 8 years where I didn't talk much to my dad.  we are having a wedding in Jamaica and i had decided years ago that my mother will walk me down the aisle - if there is one!  My mom has always been the one constant in my life and fought hard to have me so I think its only fitting that she give me away...and I probably won't have a father-daughter dance.  I will not choose between my father's because I love them both so much!  Although I haven't told my father yet but he hasn't asked yet either!  It's all a matter of what YOU feel comfortable with.
