What to do with two dads?

My mother remarried Paul when I was 3 and he adopted me. My biological father, Mark, was quick to give me up at the time because he had remarried as well and didn't want to pay child support. Over time Mark my biological father has applogized and we've been able to become close over the past 11 years. We see eachother every year and talk monthly. But Paul, my adoptive father is the man that raised me and I have such a close relationship with. I love him! I feel that Paul deserves to walk me down the aisle and have the first dance as he took the time to raise me to the woman I am today. BUT I'm not sure how I can inculde my biological father, Mark. I know he doesn't deserve to be included because he was the one that allowed me to be adopted, but I feel like I need to include him somehow as we do have a close friendship and bond now. Having him "co-walk" me down the aisle is not an option. Any ideas on how to include him to not hurt his feelings?

    Have them both walk you down the aisle - one on each side. Problem solved!

    Invite him as a guest.  Not everyone you have a friendship with has to be in the wedding party.

    I'd have Paul walk me down the aisle and let Mark attend the wedding with no "honors"

    Like you said - he's not a huge part of your life, and blood doesn't make a family. Paul is your Dad. Give him the honor.
