This won't be a " I need advice post" rather an encouragement post. Many people will relate others won't and that's OK. This post is specifically for brides/grooms who have had their father walk away from their lives.
After getting engaged I was so excited and soon my excitement got squashed by the looming "Oh I wont have my father walk me down and give me away" And I actually became a bit bitter, I felt like the joy of being engaged was being robbed from me I was so angry! My closest friends couldn't relate and while they were being loving the constant question of "Are you doing okay?" became a trigger.
Here's the harsh truth, we don't get a Hallmark like life. Circumstances in our life won't always conclude in a happy ending and family issues sometimes never get better. BUT here's the beauty in this new chapter in our life we have found our best friend, our lifelong partner in crime the person whom you're going to create a whole life with, a family, memories and traditions! we've been blessed with our loves and that's something that not everyone finds in this lifetime.
Focus, on the people who ARE still in your life, who have been rooting for your since the day they met you, because all those teary eyed faces that will be looking at you on your wedding day have always wanted THE BEST for you, and they love you so much!
It's okay to grieve the loss of that relationship but it's not okay for that to rob you from your joy. Hugs to all, and best wishes for your marriages.
