As many of you may have seen, photos of a father surprising his daughter’s step-father as he walked her down the aisle toward marriage, have gone viral. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/11/fashion/weddings/daughters-wedding-stepdad-bachman-stepfather-father-peck.html?ref=fashion, clearly this has struck a chord, particularly among children of divorced parents who wish to de-stigmatize their extended form of their nuclear families. As mediators, we particularly are touched by the way that her father’s acknowledgement of her step-father’s important role in his daughter’s life brought such joy to her wedding day. They acknowledged that the relationship was not always smooth, but they both desired to put her first.
