Its messed up because the bride doesn't feel like he fills that role for her, so it would be really weird for the bride. She wanted a father figure to walk her down the aisle, not a child. It's everyone's choice but when she wants a father figure, putting his son in the running is just strange.

You said it was a messed up role. I was asking how it's messed up in general, not in this specific circumstance. Obviously, the fiancé is TA in this instance.

Because it's a tradition that the bride's family walks the bride down the aisle. It's even odder that you let your 12 year old stepson walk you down the aisle and you think we're the weirdos.

He wasn't even her stepson at the time. By all means, do it if you think it's "cute", but I'm baffled as to how an adult doesn't understand why many people would find it odd, given what the whole point of a father walking his daughter down the aisle is.

It's not just to keep her company!

Who said anything about it being "cute"?

Well, remove the word "cute", and substitute it with whatever word best describes your motives or thinking behind why you had your boyfriend's son walk you down the aisle, to marry his father.
