Dad or Step-dad walk me down the aisle?
OK
So i am getting married in December and as you probably deduced from the title, I have a dilemma.
My Biological father has always been in my life from timt to time. I only saw him occasionally, (like every other weekend) but our relationship has always been a good one. He's never been my provider though...
My STEP DAD has been married to my mother for 16 years, pretty much my entire childhood, and he was the provider and took care of everything I ever needed...the catch? He and I have NEVER had a strong relationship, HOWEVER, he and my mom are divorced now, and since the divorce, he and I have formed somewhat a pretty good relationship, he is still in my life. And helps me when he can.
SO SEE MY PROBLEM? heres a few things I was thinking....let me know what you think.
option 1: They BOTH walk me down the aisle. (i dont really want to do this. It just doesnt appeal to me, but everyone suggests it.
option 2: My dad walks me half-way, step-dad meets in the middle, and walks me the rest of the way, and gives me away at the alter.
now I have thought of another idea, one I really LIKE but I want others opinion on. Its not exactly tradiotional and Im not sure if its ever been done...here it is:
My BEST FRIEND Corey has been with me through everything. What if HE walked me down the aisle, and my dads were both standing at the alter with my Groom, and then when Corey gets me to the alter, he would hand me over to my dads and they would give me away, and Corey would resume his post as the groomsmen. That way they could both give me away and there wouldnt be any drama or hurt feelings??
HOW DOES THAT SOUND?
all opnions and advice would be great. thanks in advance!

Why not let one of them walk you down the aisle and the other one give the fathers speech.

I like option 2. Don't let your best friend walk you down the aisle when you have 2 perfectly capable father figures.

Well I would suggest you go with option 2. It's better to let both of them walk you down, because both of them have been in your life. Let your step-dad walk you down first and in the midddle your biological dad. I think that you would like it and also your two dads. Have a great wedding and enjoy it.

I would take option 2. Like the person stated below, every father wants to be the one to walk his daughter down the aisle & give her away. I understand that you may have a slightly better relationship with your step-dad but your biological is the one who made you, and you should really have him do it.
Just have your step-dad walk you halfway, and then have your biological father take you to the alter & give you away. I'm sure this will make both of them happy, and I'm sure it's something they could probably come to an easy agreement on. :)
Good luck with your marriage, and congratulations! (Even though I'm a few months early with the congratulating, haha)

I like the second and last options.
I like the second one best though.
Except, your steph father should walk you down first, and then you're actual father gives you away.
I'm sure you already know, your actual father loves you with all his heart, and every fathers dream is so walk their daughter down the isle and give their daughter away.
It is your wedding. You do what you think feels best. Though, in my opinion, I do think the second one would maybe word best in this situation.
I wish you luck on a happy marrige.
