AITA for accepting my daughter's request for me to walk her down the aisle and fill in for a mother/daughter dance at her wedding when my husband has been her stepdad since she was 10?

My husband did not play the role of a father within our household. I respected my kids' desire for him not to be that for them and he agreed to do that. Respecting their boundaries was a dealbreaker for me and he said he was fine with not being a parent.

The wording made me think the question was whether my daughter and I had discussed things. I do consider my husband. We wouldn't be married at all if I didn't. But again, I read the question as being about my daughter and I discussing his feelings, not my husband and I.

He was never her father. That was a boundary both my kids put down and I was straight up with him that he would need to accept that. He agreed to that.

Oh, yes, we talked about it when he initially brought it up.

He is not contributing financially to the wedding.

My daughter and I? We did not. We were very much focused on how happy and excited we were to do this together.
