Father wants to walk me down the aisle again?

This is my second marriage and my Father gave me away at the first one. Since he's already done this I had just planned on walking myself down the aisle but he has now express interest in doing it again. With that being said, if my Father is going to be a part of it, I want my Step Father to be a part of it as well (especially since he and my Mother are doing a majority of the help in planning the wedding). For anyone with Fathers/ Step-Fathers, how are you involving both of them?

FYI~ this is a casual outdoor ranch wedding...

    Can both of them walk you down the aisle?  If not, and both of them are important to you but there would be a conflict, I would opt for walking alone.

    I was thinking of my Step-Father walking me out of the house to the Aisle, then my Father taking me the rest of the way. I didn't know if that was corny or not.

    I think it's wonderful that your Dad wants to walk you down the aisle, but having said that it sounds like you want to also honor your Step-Dad so perhaps instead of them both walking you down, have them participate by doing a reading.

    Its so nice that you have these 2 men who love you like a daughter, I think your guests will just be touched by that ~ however you chose to involve them.</font>

    I am not having either walk me down the aisle but I think I would do the half and half thing. Me I would have my father walk me first and my step walk me the rest of the way but that is because my father started off in my life and my step was the one that really raised me !

    My son is going to walk me down. I've been out of my father's house for over 15 years now and feel that it is now my son's (and my daughter's) to give me in marriage, so to speak. My son is very excited about this. You didn't mention any kids but if you have any that might be an option.

    No kids yet but I think I'm going to have my Dad and Step Mom walk me from the house to the aisle and then have my Mom and Step Dad walk me the rest of the way. That was everyone is involved and happy!

    Thanks again everyone!

    I like the idea of the "pass off" as well.

    I'm having my son walked me down the aisle this time, too. I figure it's more his palce to "give me away" than my dad who gave me away nearly 30 years ago!

    I am having my son walk me down the aisle too, my step-dad is fine with it my dad is pissed. But I think it is important that I include my son in the ceremony.
