    here goes.... the simple version is should my dad or step dad give me away, 

    my dad.... has always been a part of my life, but from the age of 12 rather a distant one i only really see him at special occasions and talk only over facebook. doesn't have a relationship with my son. 

    my step-dad... raised me from 6 months old, a wonderful generous man who would give you the shirt off his back, very caring see him regularily and is a grandfather to my son. 

    the other option is one of the grooms men has been my friend a lot longer than he has been the grooms so he could be the third and less confruntation option. 

    i have asked my step dad.... he said he would.... but only if it didn't mean upsetting my dad (they were best men at each other first wedding... once upon a time ...lol) 

    what do you think ladies. 

    just to add my brothers have all said they would do it but there are 7 of them so i cant pick between them 

     

    advise please x

    Girl, this is definitely a sticky situation. The good news is that is sounds like you have MANY supportive men in your life whom you love, and who love you!

    I think if I were you, I would ask both my dad and my step-dad to walk me down the isle together. Given your step-dad's wishes, and to avoid putting him in the middle, I would talk to your dad about it first. Then take it from there.

    Good luck!!

    If your dad and step dad are good friends, why not have them both walk you down the aisle?

    Its completely your personal decision...how you want things to go around.....but you have to consider both of your Dad’s wishes also......As you said your step dad is a wonderful man and ready for that then i would suggest you to have him..... but inform your dad also about it and
    ask his opinion about it......
    I cant see any reason why you cant have your step dad........see, its your wedding day and if both of you (you and your step dad) feels good then go for it.....

    Could your mom walk you down the aisle? Or if you walked yourself? I think I would try and see how important it is to your dad. I wanted both my parents to walk with me, but my mom didn't want to do that (she's really shy), so then I thought I'd walk myself - but then my Dad was sad. So I just walked with my dad because it was so important to him (and I didn't mind). Good luck!
