Bride’s father halts wedding to invite daughter’s stepdad to help him walk her down the aisle

A bride’s proud father made a heart-warming gesture at her wedding, inviting her stepfather to join him in walking her down the aisle.

A series of photos of the emotion moment captured by Delia D Blackburn has now received more than one million likes on Facebook.

“Todd Bachman, father of the bride, brought his daughter to the beginning of the aisle...he stopped the procession while people were confused at his actions and he walked up to his daughter's stepfather,” Ms Blackburn wrote in the Facebook post.

“Todd reached out his hand and grabbed Brittany's stepfather and pulled him down the aisle to walk their daughter down the aisle together. NOT A DRY EYE at the ceremony including me!

“Families are what we make them...make it about your kids and not your ego. Congratulations Todd Bachman on showing your kids what true love really is...love for your children.”
