YOur idea is great of dancing with them both however
Since your stepfather has been in your life for the past 20 years why not dance and actual dance that is for daughter/father that way when he hears the lyrics of the song "Dad" he will be happy that in front of all these people you consider him your father not a stepfather. Forget all others please those that have been by your side.
However here is a beautiful stepfather/daughter dance listen to the message it will make you sob.
Just a suggestion:
When your stepfather is dancing or before he dances place a small note in his hankerchief pocket and write a small message as he exits the floor he will be tempted to read it
Stepfather of the bride by Michael J. Mc Laughlin
VERSE 1I remember when I met you; you looked like you could be mineWith your red hair and freckles; maybe it was a sign.I fell in love with your mama and you came along for the ride.Now you’re getting married, and I’m the stepfather of the bride.
VERSE 2I couldn’t replace your daddy, and I wouldn’t want to tryThe one who you relied on all the way to junior highHe was your mamma’s man when he gave you life, he should be at your sideIt isn’t always easy for the stepfather of the bride
CHORUS:I was there as you grew, but can’t walk you down the aisleAfter all that we’ve been through, Can I dance with you for a while?Tomorrow I will miss you; but today I’m filled with prideI’m smiling ear to ear as the stepfather of the bride
VERSE 3There were many times we argued, not seeing eye to eyeI tried to raise you up right, sometimes I made you cry.But you touched my heart so many times that now I must confideI love you like a daughter; I’m the stepfather of the bride.
REPEAT CHORUS
@beatriz: I've never heard that song before, but it's lovely - thanks for sharing.
Thank you hope some other brides in the same situation will consider it . They might not the beat however nowadays maybe if they google in the title of the song other artist play it. However, the message is lovely especially verse 3
I'm definitely dancing with my stepdad. I've thought about "didn't have to be" by Brad Paisley, but may choose a song that is more father/daughter orientated.
OMG! I am in the same position. My stepdad has been more of a father to me than my bio dad too. I am having the same sort of predicament. I was thinking of doing a song by Jodee Messina called Because You Love Me
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWD1UbyaXmw
Or In My Life by the Beatles.
good Luck and let me know what you choose.
I am in the same situation! My parents divorced when I was in middle school and I had a very strained relationship with my dad until about 3 years ago. I have already talked to my bio dad about having both walk me down the aisle. He was so sweet ("I just want you to be happy so of course that is okay with me...as long as I am on your right side" laughing) so I am super thankful for that. Still not sure what to do about the father daughter dance though. I thought about splitting it - biological father first half, stepfather second - but am not sure how the "switch" will look. I also like the idea of doing 2 songs but don't want to be stop the dance floor for 5 minutes. Any suggestions?
@ Beatriz: Thank you so much for sharing that! I have never heard it before but the lyrics really hit home. If I do two dances that is definitely high on the list for stepfather/daughter songs. I teared up just reading it!
Strangely enough I'm in a different situation. My dad died when I was four and my mom didn't remarry until I was 17. They have been together now 18yrs. My mom was slightly upset that I wanted my Uncle (also godfather) to walk me down the aisle instead of my step-father. I'm definitely having an uncles dance, maybe I'll just make it the men in my life dance, sort of like a snowball dance. Mom's over the disappointment, maybe it helped that "C" said he wouldn't be caught dead in a monkey suit or Kilt. I told him that was fine. His duty is to walk mom down the aisle.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Im at a complete loss for what to do about the daughter/father dance. My bio dad will (hopefully) be attending, but Im not very close to him, although we do talk on occasion. (fathers day, birthdays, etc) My stepfather will be walking me down the aisle, as he's been with my mom and me for 20 years, (im 28) but Im torn and don't want my (bio) dad or family on that side to be upset, or disappointed. I guess Im a people pleaser lol. (my grandparent's were a bit upset when I used my stepfathers last name in high school, and my grandmother (biodad's)passed away last year...) so...a little predicament...maybe I'll do a dance with both, but what song is good for daughter/stepfather dance?? any suggestions or other bees in same place? Thanks!
