     Okay, so my dad was very absent in my childhood (worked alot, etc) and then when I was 8 he cheated on my mom and left her for a really trashy woman, who he later married and divorced. He is since remarried, and my step-mom is very sweet. We had a really bad relationship for many, many years, and often went months without speaking. We are beginning to develop a better realtionship, due in part to me letting him know how badly his poor parenting has affecting my life and my relationships.

     My mom married my step-father when I was 10, and he is AMAZING. We had a very rough few years when they first married, because we're so much alike that we get into alot of arguments. I'm my stepdaddy's girl.

     

       I call them BOTH Daddy, because they have both invested the same amount in my life. They have both raised me, and made me who I am. My real dad has contributed less than a dad should, and my stap-dad had contributed more than any step-dad should have to.

     

     3rd complication: My brother. He's the most amazing man, other than my FH, that I know, and the only man that's been there for me since I was 16 months old. He's handsome, kind, funny, and in the U.S.M.C. We're very very close, and there were many years (before my step-dad came along, while my real dad was absent) where it was just me, my brother, and my mom. We're actually waiting until January 2010 to get married so that he can be there (he'll be in Irag from July-January)

     Which brings me to this....

     

     Can I have all 3 walk me down? Would that be tacky? Any other ideas?

     

     I though I'd send my two daddys out first, side by side to show that they hold equal importance for me. Then my brother will escort medown the ailse. When asked who gives me away, my brother will say, "Both her fathers, her mother and I."

     

     Thoughts?

     

     Also, for father daughter dance.... I want to dance with all 3. I thought I'd dance with real father to part of one song, then have the DJ fade it into another song for my brother to take over, then after part of that song, have it fade into "The Man He Didn't Have To Be" and my stepdad take over. Does that make sense? I want to share my 1st dance with all three, and that's the only way that makes sense.

    That makes total sense to me!  Would all three of them feel comfortable with it too?  If so, then you're all set!

    A suggestion: when they ask who is giving you away, have all three answer in unison: "We do."  Your relationship with them is complicated but their answer doesn't have to be.

    I think it's lovely that you want to include them - in a way they are all giving you away, so it probably doesn't make sense to you to choose?  Seems like a decision you don't have to make. 

    I don't speak to my father and I am walking myself down the aisle.  People have offered (my future father in law, one of my best friends) but I decided that the only person giving me to my FH is myself.  Now I have to work on my clutziness as I have nothing to hold on to ;-)

    I like your idea, and am with MightySapphire on the words. And I think your first dance idea will work. Its your wedding, as long as it makes sense to you that's all that matters Three men to walk me down the aisle?!?!
