Stepparents At The Wedding? Experts Advise Being Inclusive

Just before her father, Todd Bachman, walked her down the aisle on Sept. 26, 2015, he stopped the processional and continued down the aisle alone to grab the hand of her stepfather and make a surprise invitation that left everyone teary-eyed. Will you help me walk our daughter down the aisle?' Peck recalled, adding that just she and her groom, Jeremy Peck, and their photographer knew of her dad's plan. For Peck, 22, whose parents split up when she was young and spent years fighting for custody of her and her sister, being given away by her father and her stepfather, Todd Cendrosky, was exactly how she envisioned getting married. Eva Zimmerman, whose parents divorced when she was 4, grew up feeling as if she had two sets of parents after her mom and dad remarried, and she gave her stepmother and stepfather prominent roles in her wedding. Whatever you decide, it's crucial — as with most everything in a wedding — to plan it ahead of time, and it's a good idea to communicate your plans with everyone involved, parents and stepparents, so nobody's caught off guard on the already emotional day. A stepmom could attend a dress fitting, perhaps when the bride's mother is not there; she could help bake a treat for the favor or be in charge of bustling the gown, Miller says. "Keep in mind the decision you make on your wedding day — hurt or non-hurt feelings — will affect your relationship for a really long time," said Helmstetter.
