So I'm getting married in 9 days and still struggle with who is going to walk me down the aisle. There have been issues with my dad since he's kind of been in and out of my life and now the issue of never getting the money that he promised to give to help with the wedding.my step dad has been there more since I've lived with him but my mom is constantly pushing for me to have my step dad walk me since she thinks my dad is a loser. I feel that no matter who I choose I'm going to disappoint someone and its getting to the point where I don't even want to take the walk down. Any suggestions on what to do.?? Thanks!

    I say have them both walk you down the aisle, there is nothing wrong with that both of my son's are going to walk with me. I wish my Dad was alive to walk me dont let nobody ruin your day allow them both to walk with you.

    That's hard, I am sorry. What if you just walked alone? Or have your mom walk you?

    This may sound bad, but who do you feel deserves it more? It should be an honor to walk you down the aisle. My best friend is in a similar situation. Her dad was always in and out of her life, and honestly wasn't the best dad. Her step dad did her wrong when him and her mom first got married, but they are past that now, and she feels he has been more of a dad than her biological dad. Her mom has been there through it all, so honestly I think she should walk her down the aisle. There's nothing wrong with that. :) Are you close with your mom?

    This really is more common of an issue that people think. I ted to lean towards having one dad walk to you half way and the other dad walk you the other half of the way. They way they are both involved. Leaving one out could really leave a wound to some dads.

    Why not have your mom walk you down the aisle if she's been the one constant parent in your life all these years? Depending on your relationship with your mom, that is what Miss Manners suggests as well, if that helps at all! (Or just walk down the aisle by yourself! I've seen a lot of that at weddings lately.)

    That's such a tough situation; I feel for you. I agree with others that it may be best to have them both walk you down the aisle or walk down the aisle alone.  They have both been in your life and have shaped you in different ways.  Good luck!

    DH and I walked down the aisle together.  This is the preferred Catholic form, since it symbolizes that we are equally and freely choosing to enter into marriage.  That is also what our parents and my grandparents did before us, so this tradition meant a lot to us.

    Even if you're not Catholic, why don't you consider this?

    <div>I agree.  I went to a wedding once and the bride chose to have her dad walk her down the aisle to start out, and about halfway down the aisle, her stepdad joined in and both of them walked her the rest of the way.  I thought it was wonderful.  Both were able to experience that with her, and it meant a lot to her because they are both very important in her life.</div>
