Would you let another man walk your daughter down the isle?

Would you share that moment with someone else?

Excerpt from article........


........But no one was more touched by the gesture than the bride herself, Brittany Peck, who says the rocky relationship between the two men made that unforgettable moment even more poignant.

"Less than 10 years ago, my dad and stepdad wouldn't even look at each other," Peck, 21, of LaGrange, Ohio, tells PEOPLE. "There was a long custody battle and it was bad, really bad. It really hurt my sister and I."

Peck's parents split up when she was 6 and her mom remarried when she was 11. Her stepdad, Todd Cendrosky, quickly became very much like a second father.

Cendrosky played such a pivotal role in her life that when it came time to ask for her hand in marriage, her then-boyfriend consulted both Cendrosky and Peck's biological dad, Todd Bachman.

While planning the wedding, Peck hoped to adopt an equally diplomatic approach to walking down the aisle. .......

What is the toughest part about breaking up?

 

It may not be up to you. These days people do things all different ways and it tends to be up to the bride as to who she chooses to have walk her down the aisle, if anyone at all.

 

Fuck that. This shouldn't even be a question. Step-Fathers need to fall back in this situation, unless the real Dad isn't there or has a bad relationship with his daughter. You can't just take that from a father if he's done his job as a father.

 

"Let". Dont think its up to dad. Or anyone else, but the bride. IF a bride chooses the stepdad, i assume she has her reasons

 

I agree. It's the bride and groom's wedding. They have a right to do as they please, whether the parents like it or not. It may hurt, but that's the deal.

 

Exactly. When I got married my mom tried to say something about how it used to be that the parents gave the wedding and they dictated it all. I told her that may have been the way it used to be, but it wasn't going to go that way (that was 30 years ago!)The parents either had their own wedding or can go ahead and have their own wedding. It's not up to them. I certainly don't expect to make choices regarding my children's weddings.

I have also found that those who didn't stand up for themselves for their wedding ended up having to deal with issues down the road with their folks interfering. They are adults, they should be able to make their own decisions.

 

So true. Couples like that often end up in unhappy marriages down the road as well. I've always found the "that's the way we used to do things" rationale to be specious. We (as a species) used to not cook with fire, but that's no reason not to do so now.

 

Ore. You MUST go the the completely random thought thread. I posted a goodie for you there:-D

 

On my way.

 

:-D

 

Soooo jealous! LMAO!

And now, back to the original content of this thread...

 

Hell naw!! I am taking my princess down the isle because it is the pride of every father to give his daughter's hand out in marriage. Why the hell would i want another man to take that honour.
