While her sister has no relationship with their dad, the Reddit user still loves him and says their relationship improved when she got engaged.
However, her stepmom asked for a role in the wedding and she fears it would upset her mother. The Reddit user said: “Mom and stepdad don’t want to coordinate colors with dad and stepmom. Then my mom insisted that my stepdad should be the only one to walk me down the aisle since he raised me and supported me financially when my dad never paid child support.”
When the user told her mom she loves them both, she accused her daughter of only wanting her and the stepdad around for their money. She ended up asking her birth dad for financial help.
“Dad agrees to buy the tents that I need. We met over the weekend to discuss things and it didn’t go well. Normally have a great time but it was just one thing on top of another.
“Dad asks who is walking me down, and I tell him both him and my stepdad. He struggled with that but ultimately accepted it.
It was when he learned about how her dad will play a role that he got really mad. She asked her step mom to walk him down the aisle.
“My dog that I’ve had for 11 years is my ring bearer. This dog is my soul dog. I got him in college and he goes everywhere with me. I would happily choose to save him from the cliff over most people.”
She continued: “I thought a good way to incorporate my stepmom, since she asked to be included in some way, was to have her walk with my dog since my mom is walking with my niece and there’s no way my sister would let my stepmom walk with her. My stepmom was so insulted that I wanted her to walk with a dog.
“‘A b---- walking a b---- is what she’s worried my dad’s side will say,” she said.
Her dad told her it was disrespectful to ask something like that. He clarified that having his wife walk a dog in the ceremony was not an option.
“I really didn’t intend to offend step mom. I was trying to find her a role since she asked for one. I fear that I unintentionally damaged 6 years of rapport I have rebuilt with them.”
People agreed with her that the step mom is being uncooperative.
“Your step mom is completely unreasonable, and I think you'll regret having her in your wedding , or even at your wedding at all. Your dad sounds like he could be reasoned with, but if he continues being stubborn about something so important to you and/or complains more on behalf of your stepmom, I think he should be sitting down too.”
