Wedding Party

Honoring a Step-Dad

Hi Ladies,I'm curious if you have any ideas to help me out.  I'm looking for a way to honor my Step-dad during our wedding/reception (open to any ideas).  My Dad will be walking me down the aisle and we are more than likely doing the father/daughter dance and that will be with him, my Dad and I are really close.  My mom and step-dad have been together for 10 years, married for 6 so he has been a big part of my life as well.  My dad and step-dad get along really well, but I don't think I could have them both walk me down the aisle or do the f/d dance with step-dad instead of my real dad as to not make real dad feel less important (he is single and is very excited for our wedding and being the "father of the bride").  Would it be ok to ask him to do a reading at the ceremony?  Or do a toast at the reception maybe?  Any creative ideas you girls have would be greatly appreicated!  Thanks in advance :)

Re: Honoring a Step-Dad

  • Thanks ladies :)  I understand what you mean with the toasts, very good point.  That's a good idea for it to not be another spotlight dance (trying to keep these to as much of a minimum as possible!).
  • My step sister had a father/daughter dance, then had a dance with my dad as well to Half the father you didn't have to be.. or whatever that song is...  My dad got teary eyed that she included him!
  • I am having my step-dad do a reading and rather than having an usher escort my mom, he will be right by her side I am close to my step-dad but sometimes it just doesn't work to split the aisle/dance, so I am happy with this solution
