\u201cI\u2019m a 48-year-old man and my 19-year-old daughter has always been an independent thinker. I raised her to be independent and think for herself, which I\u2019ve always appreciated. However, we recently hit a bit of a snag.\u201d The father had started to tell his story.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe got engaged and decided that she doesn\u2019t want me to walk her down the aisle at her wedding. She argues that her mother and I don\u2019t \u201cown\u201d her, therefore we have no right to \u201cgive her away\u201d. I feel hurt by this because we never treated her like an object or piece of property, rather we\u2019ve tried our best to provide her with a wonderful life.\u201d He said about the problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer stance seems extreme to me and despite discussions, she\u2019s refusing to budge on the issue. I respect her choices, but I feel she\u2019s disregarding our feelings completely. As a response, I told her that if she feels that way, then I won\u2019t be paying for her wedding.\u201d He then continued that if she will insist on her opinion, he will not pay for the wedding.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to come across as controlling or manipulative. It\u2019s true, I don\u2019t \u201cown\u201d her, I also don\u2019t owe her a fully-funded wedding. She can pay for her own wedding if she\u2019s insistent on this stance. I\u2019m feeling quite conflicted about this.\u201d He then concluded his post, and later on added some more information to his post.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdit: So, this isn\u2019t about making the wedding about me. Walking her down the aisle (while all eyes are on her anyway) and then sitting down is hardly making the wedding about me. It\u2019s about her attitude. She\u2019s had every opportunity in life so far, and to exclude us from this day is a spit in the face. It\u2019s a rejection of everything we\u2019ve done for her, sacrificed for her, given her. It\u2019s selfish.\u201d He had explained his intentions and continued,<\/p>\n
\u201c\u201d90% of wedding traditions and symbolism had roots in things we don\u2019t acknowledge today. Should we stop all of them? The rings, the flowers, the dress, the wedding party, the cake, the flower girls\u2026 a father walking his daughter down the aisle has been about respect, pride, love and honoring the father\/daughter relationship for far longer than it was about ownership.\u201d\u201d He added.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor all the YTA people out there, I\u2019ve decided to give my daughter a gift in the same amount as her older sister\u2019s wedding cost. She can use this for whatever she wants. For the NTA people out there, thanks, most of you get it. My daughter has also agreed to figure out a way to include us in a way that doesn\u2019t involve \u201cgiving her away.\u201d We are still in the early wedding planning stages, and she is almost 20. So she will likely be 21 before the actual marriage. Thanks for the concern, I guess. I approve of the groom-to-be if that matters to anyone.\u201d He had added and concluded as,<\/p>\n
\u201cWe disagree, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s a relationship-ending event. My daughter is laughing hilariously at all of you that are saying she will disinvite us from the wedding or cut us off from grandkids. I just feel sorry for you all. THAT is petty and manipulative, and regardless of what you all say, I\u2019ve raised her better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
