My grandparents raised me from birth. My bio father came into my life in my late teens and is a very nice man. He has played an active roll ever since and his family has been very accepting of me. I was thinking of asking him to walk me half way down the aisle. I definitely want my grandfather to walk with me. Then I thought somehow my dad could meet us in the middle and my grandfather could pass me on and my dad could actually give me away. Do you think this would be too much traffic? Any ideas on how to "pass me on"?
As always, looking forward to your response.

I have seen this done many times. It is appropriate and symbolic. Your grandfather raised you from birth, and then your Dad came into your life.
Things to consider: Did you grandfather raise you your entire life? If so, would Granddad be hurt that he is not the one giving you away? If so, an option is to have your Dad meet you halfway down the aisle, then you can continue walking with both of them, one on either side, and they can both give you away. If your biological Dad took over raising you in your teens, then there shouldn't be any hurt feelings involved with regard to the original idea.
