I feel you, but I lived with my dad! Step-dad actually, but he's been in the picture since I was 3. I love him and all, but we're not close, he's way closer with my younger half-sister. But I don't know how to tell him I don't want to dance with him =/
In the same boat. Step dad has treated me like his own since 2&1/2 years old. He's closer to my younger half-sister (They are blood related, so this doesn't surprise me) but I think the dance is going to be so akward!!
Um... @danielle.leann: and I have almost exactly the same story. Small world!
I feel the same way. My dad and I have never been close. My parents got divorced 2 years ago and i havnt seen him in about a year. He is much closer to my younger sister. The only thing is they live in SC and my sister is gay. So im the only daughter who he would have the chance to do all the wedding stuff with. I already know I want my mom to walk me down the aisle.
I totally feel this way, too. I am not having the father-daughter dance. It's a casual beach wedding and I just am not that close to him anyway. My mother died 9 years ago and to be honest, he was never really there for me at all. I have to call him, he never calls me. I feel like I have tried to have a relationship with him and it's always me making the effort. He is going to walk me down the aisle though.
You described my relationship with my dad to a T. I'm not doing a father-daughter dance with him nor is he walking me down the aisle. I'm reserving that honor for both my mom and my grandma. Although I'm still going to invite him to the wedding, mostly because both my grandma and aunt feel like he just never knew how to be a good dad but he is still my father. I never talk to him and only see him 2x a year.
Is there a reason why you feel like you have to? Are there other members of your family that you are closer to that you can dance with?
I've been thinking about this a lot. I really would rather not have my step father walk me down the aisle but I know it will crush him. He's been in my life since I was about 6 but I just don't think of him as being my father. I feel very conflicted about this.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Is anyone else not looking forward to an awkward dance with their father? Mom and dad got divorced when I was in the 4th grade. He's been in my life but mostly on Sundays when he comes over to visit. My mom and him are friends now which is nice. BUT dad doesn't know how to communicate with me very well. He used to buy us toys or give us $20 here and there to show love. SO dancing with my dad is going to be awkward. We usually just give a quick hug hello and goodbye. I'm trying to pick a short song. Anyone else feel this way?
