Bride Asks Stepdad To Walk Her Down Aisle Alongside Biological Dad

An emotional stepdad couldn't hold back tears of pride when his stepdaughter asked him to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day along with her biological father. Mily Fernandez-Gittens, from Orlando, Florida, has a great relationship with her biological father – but due to her family dynamic, she sees herself as having two dads. Mily, 38, moved to Florida from her native Venezuela 15 years ago, and over the years that followed, her mom, Mirian Gittens, would frequently visit and attend mass at a local Catholic church. During visits to the church, Mirian met Mily's stepdad, Jaime Silva, 66, who is originally from Puerto Rico but is now based in Orlando, too. Jaime and Mirian started dating long distance, before getting married in 2017, which saw Mirian move to the U.S. Over the years that followed, Jaime vowed to take care of Mily and her sisters, being there as a grandpa for Mily's two nephews and treating the family as if they were his own. For those reasons, Mily said, she started feeling as though she doesn't have a biological dad and a stepdad, just simply ‘two dads’. Then, ahead of her wedding day, she made the choice that she would like Jaime to walk her down the aisle along with her father, Fernando Fernandez, 64, who approved of the decision. On June 16, in Orlando, Mily presented Jaime with a box, inside which was a loving message to ask if he would do Mily the honor of walking her down the aisle with Fernando. As soon as everything clicked, an emotional Jamie burst into tears while his stepdaughter gave him a supportive hug.
