Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) walked Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) down the aisle during her wedding in the Fuller House series finale — not her father Danny (Bob Saget). Netflix's sequel spin-off to Full House opted to end its run with DJ (Candace Cameron-Bure), Kimmy (Andrea Barber), and Stephanie all tying the knot for a feel-good finale. However, instead of the Tanner patriarch sending off both of his older daughters, he only walked with DJ, leaving Stepanie with her uncle instead.

In Full House, Danny treated all three kids equally. That said, given the girls' ages, he had more emotional interactions with Stephanie throughout the original show's eight-year-run. As the oldest, DJ grew to be independent quickly and didn't latch onto her dad in the same way, while Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) was too young in the early seasons to really have a connection with him. Stephanie, on the other hand, was at the perfect age to be more attached to Danny.

Given this, many fans expected Danny to walk both DJ and Stephanie down the aisle during their wedding day, but that wasn't the case. Instead, Joey (Dave Coulier) was partnered up with Kimmy, Danny with DJ, and Stephanie with Jesse. In hindsight, it's understandable from a storytelling perspective why Fuller House would want all three older cast members from the original series to play a pivotal part in the finale, considering the men raised the girls — even Kimmy.

It's the reason why they went out of their way to establish a connection between Kimmy and Joey during the midseason premiere as a set-up for the former escorting the latter during her wedding. The thing is, Jesse and Stephanie didn't have that kind of lead-in. Although the characters spent eight years together in Full House, the show never demonstrated that Jesse had a special relationship with Stephanie; in fact, he was particularly close to Michelle instead.
