Different families

Bride's Dad Stops Wedding So Stepdad Can Walk Down The Aisle

As Todd Bachman walked his daughter Brittany down the aisle at the start of her wedding, he stopped the procession. He ran to the front row and grabbed the hand of Brittany's Step-Dad, taking him to walk their daughter down the aisle together. 

Later in an interview the Step-Dad said, "He came and grabbed my hand and said, 'You worked as hard as I have. You'll help us walk our daughter down the aisle'.... I got weak in my knees and lost it. Nothing better in my life, the most impactful moment in my life."

The two Dads admitted they had not always got along, but Todd said, "For me to thank him for all the years of helping raise our daughter wouldn't be enough. There is no better way to thank somebody than to assist me walking her down the aisle."

The photos have gone viral.
