    I would not be feeling obliged to give the job to your 'real' Dad straight away..I think you need to decide whom has given you the most as a father etc..

    Close your eyes and think about your wedding. Who do you imagine walking you down the aisle?

    If your not sure, heres some things to think about...

    1) Who loves you unconditionally?
    2) If you were in trouble, who would you turn to first?
    3) Who has done the most for you in life?
    4) Who do you know won't let you down?

    And remember- its an honour that is earnt, not a right.

    If you can't decide, how about your mum? It doesn't have to be a dad....

    Hmm, it's a really difficult one, but ultimately, the only person who knows is yourself!

    There are lots of things to consider though, including why it is you didn't see your dad in so long, what he's done since you got back in touch - you mention you've had you step-dad for the last ten years, but how much of a father figure he is might depend on how old you are - if you were ten when he met your mum it might be more significant than if you were 20.

    Remember too that if you don't want to, you don't have to have either of them! Many girls on here are being walked down by uncles, brothers, sons and also their mothers, so the best thing to do is to follow Dove's easy guide :)

    It doesn't even have to be a relative- my cousins wife was walked down the aisle and given away by the nearest thing to a father she had known- her new father in law. And I can tell you - no one was even remotely surprised by her choice!

    what about having a blessing and then one can walk you down the aisle for service and one for the blessing? x x
