The best thing for everyone when it comes to the Bride's step dad is if both the father and the stepfather recognize the most important thing and that it's the daughter's day, not yours. Regardless of how you ended up the "Step Father" your little girl is hoping for the best which is that her vows are forever. Bickering over father/daughter dancing is going to make an already awkard situation a little more awkward. Here are some things to consider:
How do you want your father identified? Father? Dad? Mr So and So, first name only etc.
How do you want your stepfather identified.
How does the stepfather perceive his relationship with you (the bride) is he an all out parent, did he give you space and guidance? Did he totally take your dads place? Did your mother remarry after you moved out of the house?
If the relationship is good with both the father and the stepfather than its not unnatural to pick two father/daughter dances or do a cut in halfway through. You may want to opt for a song not as heart wrenching as "Butterfly Kisses" maybe something a little more subtle.
Whatever you do make sure that you convey to your DJ in your pre-event consultation how you want both men identified.
If you are having a traditional wedding where the bride's parents are handling the bill, are the brides parents handling the bill, is it mom and step dad or Dad and step-mom.
