Posted September 24, 2023 So my baby girl is getting married to a very nice guy tomorrow. They get along good and are in love with one of other. Wondering why this makes me kind of sad, maybe not sad but melancholily. Tomorrow is going to be filled with a lot of drama, which I'm not comfortable with at all. Exes, and extended families I thought I'd never see again. I'm uncomfortable with this to say the least! Something happy that I thought I'd be looking forward to. I'm now thinking I could ship it all together. But I wont. I'll give her away like a proper father does. .Still feeling melancholy to say the least. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 24, 2023 Feeling mixed emotions can be a part of big life events. Hopefully the drama will be at a minimum with your extended family and you are able to enjoy this special day. Sending you good thoughts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 24, 2023 Focus on your daughter. It’s her day after all. Let the others & their drama fade into the background. Try to not imbibe too much, and thus become part of the drama. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm kind of an introvert apart from my job, where I kind of have to be in "killer mode" so things like this makes me feel uncomfortable. All of my anxiety seemed to fall away when I was driving to the wedding venue. I was 100% relaxed and thus had a very nice time. Today my daughter called me and thanked me for walking her down the aisle and for the gift I had given to the bride and groom. She is a very good kiddo and gets me despite all of my faults. Her Husband is a nice young man that loves her a lot. I'm content in knowing this. Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate them as always! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's natural to feel bittersweet about your daughter’s wedding. It’s a big change, and the drama can be tough. Focus on the love and happiness she’s finding. You’ll give her away with pride, and that’s what matters most. Embrace the moment! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Dad takes care of he daughter for a long time. I had to realize that I had to give up that protection to her new man, her husband. He is a good and an honorable man who I respect deeply. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Letting go of your protective role for your daughter isn't easy, but it shows how much you care about her happiness. Respecting her husband is a great step. It's wonderful that you're supportive of their relationship. How are you feeling about this change? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 17 As a father, I only had sons. But now I have two little granddaughters. I tell you, the level of protectivity (my new made up word) goes to a whole new level when we're talking about little girls. Don't know if I'll be around for their weddings or now, but I'm sure I'd be a mess. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
