He’s Refusing To Pay For His Son’s Wedding Because His Son Wants To Be Walked Down The Aisle By Both Him And His Stepdad

From the time this man’s son, Karter, was between 5 and 10-years-old, he was serving in the Army.
But, even though he and his ex-wife– Karter’s mom– had gotten divorced, he made every effort to be involved in his son’s life. He really tried to be a good dad and spent as much time with Karter as he could while he was away on leave.
“And when I left the Army, I’ve spent every moment I could with my boy,” he added.
Today, Karter is 23-years-old, and he says that they still have a good relationship.
However, following his divorce from his ex-wife, his ex wound up getting remarried rather quickly to a pretty nice guy named Steven.
Now, he clarified that Steven has actually treated his son really well.
“And I’m not knocking that even though we don’t get along, but I’m his actual dad,” he said.
But, since Karter is getting married to his 25-year-old fiancé, Clark, at the end of next month, his strained relationship with Steven has started to cause some issues.
Apparently, his son and Clark are pretty strapped for cash for the wedding since Clark’s family is not very wealthy.

So, Karter and his soon-to-be son-in-law recently asked if he would be willing to foot the bill.
He immediately agreed to help them out, too, because he claimed he would do anything for his son.
Well, he later found out that Karter actually wanted to be walked down the aisle by both him and Steven. And that seriously rubbed him the wrong way.
“I’m Karter’s actual dad, and I’m paying for everything. And I’ve always been there for him,” he explained.
So, he was genuinely hurt that his son also wanted his step-parent to take part in that sentimental wedding tradition.
Anyway, this wound up prompting a huge fight between him and Karter. Then, he ultimately told his son that he would no longer be paying for the wedding if Steven was also walking down the aisle.
Since then, his ex-wife has been furious with him and believes he is being seriously selfish.
“But my dad thinks I should push harder,” he vented.
So now, he’s been left wondering whether refusing to pay for Karter’s wedding if he has to walk his son down the aisle with Steven makes him a jerk or not.
Can you understand why his son might want both him and Steven to walk down the aisle? Is the decision up to him, or should it be up to his son? How do you think he should handle this situation?
