    Maybe that practice rooted in a dad ceremoniously giving their daughter to someone else is kind of fucking weird and unnecessary.

    I mean i like the Egyptian angle, but have you also considered teaming them like huskies and hiring a sled?

    Or even doing that scene from Malcolm in the Middle

      While having a family brawl with a bunch of clowns might be a hilarious way to start a wedding, how does it help with the 5 dads thing?

      Just don’t use a full weight litter/coffin. He’s not a vampire, so the whole ‘rising from the coffin to seize the woman wearing white and force them to marry the vampire’ thing doesn’t have to happen. They could use a very light rug with poles shoved through to carry the offspring. If five grown men can’t dance beneath the weight of four poles building a frame with a rug carrying a person, either they need more protein, or the kid needs less.

    Each does it alone she just has to run around the outside real quick after each time or they do it relay style and pass her off to the next one.

        50m worth of aisle is a pretty frickin’ huge wedding venue. I guess 5 dads implies a lot of extended family, but still, just how many guests are you suggesting?!

        Those 5 dads had better be splitting the catering bill…

        the math

        Assuming each row is 1m deep (which is apparently typical according to a quick web search), and a minimum of 10 guests on each side of the aisle (which is still pretty long and skinny), you’re talking about 50×20=1000 guests, minimum!

      It’s a net twenty, your biological mother transitions you now have 6 dads. You are being carried on your palanquin down the aisle. One of your dads almost slips on one of the rose petals, but otherwise everything is exactly like you hoped for. You look to your groom/bride, they smile at you. Just as you are being slowly put down, you notice something is off. Do you roll for perception or ignore it?

          You roll a 12+2=14. You look around for a moment, trying to figure what’s wrong, then it strikes you like a lightning bolt. When looking closely at your fiancé(e)s smile you notice that their canines are unnaturally long and pointed. You also can’t seem to spot a single cross in the church. The groom/bride holds their hand out for you, the palanquin now fully resting on the limestone floor. Just for a moment their smile seems to lack the kindness you know of your partner and looks almost like a grin.

          What do you do?

              They flinch at the garlic, their arm twitching back. They make a hissing sound, almost like you accidentally kicked a cat. You hop off the palanquin and make a run for it. Before you can reach the entrance two men that you didn’t see before that are standing to the sides of it shut the door. Your fiancé(e) having quickly recovered is making their way towards you. You can now see their animalistic teeth clearly.

                  You didn’t notice that the piece of wood was actually firmly attached to the bench. Strength check: 16+4=20. You pick up the lighter than expected bench and smash it against their heart region, hurling them backwards. They hit a tinted window of the church, shattering it and letting sunlight shine directly into the building. They let out a bloodcurdling scream as their skin burns as if it were submerged in boiling oil. They slowly sink to their knees, leaving only a charred corpse.

                  You wake up. “You fell a sleep for a moment.” your therapist says, “We were just talking about your time in Vietnam”. It is the eleventh September 2001. You look out of the window, just in time to see that a plain has hit the World Trade Center.

                  The end?

    2 flower dads in front (adopted dad + step dad)

    Bio dad and bride (if she has a good relationship with him and wants that)

    2 flower dads in back (other adopted dad + step dad)

    Or make them all sit and let bio mom do it, if bride’s relationship with bio mom is good.

    But I like the planenquine suggestion from the meme best, she should do that. When else will she have a chance to do that?

    Why can’t they all walk with her? Except for the one who gave her up.
