Most Hollywood movies that involve encounters between dads and stepdads, first husbands and second husbands, usually depict those moments as pretty cringeworthy and frosty at best. I suppose when you consider the circumstances that’s not all that odd, which is why this one might just get you right in the feels.
Todd Bachman’s daughter was getting married in Ohio last weekend when it came time to walk her down the aisle. The thing is that her stepfather Todd Cendrosky also had an important part to play in raising Brittany, something that Bachman was keen to acknowledge. Over to Huffington Post:
…the stepdad said he was totally taken aback by Bachman’s kind gesture.
“[He] came and grabbed my hand and said: ‘You worked as hard as I have. You’ll help us walk our daughter down the aisle,'” Cendrosky recalled. “I got weak in the knees and lost it. Nothing better in my life, the most impactful moment in my life”…
Bachman admitted he and Cendrosky hadn’t always gotten along. But extending the honor at the wedding just made sense. “For me to thank him for all the years of helping raise our daughter wouldn’t be enough,” the biological dad said. “There is no better way to thank somebody than to assist me walking her down the aisle.”
