Honestly it all depends on what you want - if that means both walk you down the aisle, so be it. It’s *your* day. I have seen it before and no one batted an eye.
Other alternatives I’ve seen: you could have one walk you down the aisle and another give a speech, or you could have neither walk you down and the other have the father/daughter dance. It’s really up to preference.
I’m having my dad and my mom walk me down the aisle, no step parents.
My friend had her dad walk her down the aisle and her stepdad officiate!
My cousin went through this recently. Both her father and step father walked her down the aisle, she had a father daughter dance with each of them and each of them gave a speech. Her parents divorced when she was very young and her mother remarried when she was about 10. She grew up with her stepdad around everyday and saw her dad often even though they didn’t live together. I obviously can’t speak to how she made the decision, but I know her dad and stepdad have a good relationship so I’m sure that made the decision easy for her.
I wanted to include my mom and dad in the ceremony (they are married but she is too traditional to join my dad in the walk down the aisle) so he walked me down the aisle and then my mom stood up when we got to the front. The pastor said who gives this woman...and together they said “we do.” Maybe your step-dad could have a similar role? Could also have one read a verse or poem? The speech at reception is also a good idea although that is dicey depending on who is paying. Typically if your dad pays for the majority of the wedding he gives the main speech before passing it to bridal party.
