I'm the step father, but I was the primary guy in the picture from the time our daughter was 8. The other guy got week or two visits most years until they got older and then things slowed down. In our case, to save everyone's feelings, our daughter wasn't walked down the aisle by either of us to try to not offend any one.

I understand and can appreciate your perspective. I'm ALSO a stepfather (sons, not daughters). Their dad wasn't in their life hardly at all but I've always made it a point to NOT alienate or denigrate him...he's their father for better or worse; I'm just the guy that's been there to take care of them most of their lives.
