I am basically posting this to get some reassurance that I am not wrong.
I asked my grandpa to walk me down the aisle and give me away at my wedding. I believe that I made this very clear that it was what I wanted before I was ever even engaged. I have been talking about music for the dance with my grandpa for months now. Today, my mom txtd me and told me the she is "shocked" that I chose my granpa and not my step-dad (whom I have a very rocky relationship with). And she said that his feelings will surely be hurt as hers are.
My bio dad died about 8 years ago. My step-dad and I dont have a great past and my grandpa has always been there for me. I thought I was doing right by choosing the person that I feel the closest to.
I have included my step-dad in photos, ordered him a boutineere and will have a special dance with him. I didn't make the decision out of spite, it has always been my dream to have my pappy give me away. My mom is giving me a complete guilt trip and making me feel terrible. I am scared that my grandpa will feel guilty and refuse to walk with me because he wont want to be the center of the drama.
Up to this point, my wedding planning has been happy, exciting and stress free.
