In a sweet wedding day moment, the father of the bride grabbed his daughter's stepdad and pulled him to his feet so they could both walk her down the aisle.

Bride Amy Walkinshaw was raised by both her dad, Andy Collins, and her stepdad, Jeff Bennett, who has been in her life for the past two decades.

The 31-year-old knew as soon as she got engaged that she wanted both men to be involved in giving her away.

So she came up with a sweet surprise for her wedding day, scheduled for June 24 at Prested Hall in Colchester, England-a way to honor both father figures.

She asked her father to go over and surprise Jeff by grabbing him from his seat in the audience to join the wedding march.

"Jeff is basically a second dad to me," said Amy. "I always imagined if I got married I'd ask him to walk me down the aisle, as well as my dad.

"Jeff didn't know it was coming either-you can tell in the video the shock on Jeff's face, I knew how much it meant to him.

"The main thing to come out of it is to show there doesn't have to be animosity. You can ask a step-parent without upsetting your biological dad too."

Amy said Jeff and Andy didn't know each other, but Andy "agreed straight away" to Jeff being involved.

On the day, Amy's younger half-sister, Macenzie Collins, watched with emotion.

"Me and my sister have lived 150 miles from each other since I was born so we don't see each other a lot. So, it was really nice to share that moment with each other.
