When 21-year-old bride, Brittany Peck, woke up on the morning of her wedding day, she figured she’d be walking down the aisle with her dad. Little did she know, her dad had a plan.
Todd Bachman, the bride’s biological father, literally stopped the procession and grabbed Brittany’s stepdad, Todd Cendrosky, to join them. Cendrosky told TODAY.com:
“All of a sudden, at the last second, he turned his head to me and grabbed my hand. He said, ‘Hey, come with me. You’ve had just as big of a part in raising this child. It’s time you and me walk our daughter down the aisle together.'”

“It meant the world to me. I’ve dreamed of this, ever since I knew that my stepdad was going to be my second dad. But I always knew in the back of my head that it wouldn’t happen because of the situation in my family and how no one ever got along.”
