The bride in this story has divorced parents, and thought it was a no-brainer that her dad would be the one walking her down the aisle. She barely knows her stepdad, who married her mom three years ago. Her mom is convinced that because she has a bad relationship with her ex-husband, her current husband should walk her daughter down the aisle at her wedding.
