KWR: You your dad (or the person walking down the aisle)

Aww, what an amazing Daddy! I can't post any pics from my phone. But I have always been a Daddy's girl. He always watched Saturday morning cartoons with us, would ride the roller coaster or Ferris wheel with us when he took us to the fair. He would save his tips up from work to make sure we got money to go to the movies or get our yearbooks. When I didn't think I was going to get to go to prom ( because I couldn't afford the dress) I woke up the next morning with the money next to my bed. After having my third child I brought him home and was sitting there in my parents couch. My Dad was staring at me with this proud smile. When I looked up at him he told me how proud of me he was. That I had three beautiful kids and worked hard to go back to school and had just finished up getting my Dental Assisting Certificate. Needless to say he made me cry and so did writing this comment. I LOVE MY DADDY!

My momma!!! My mom has basically single handedly raised me with spurts of the sperm donner (aka father) kind of helping at random times in my life. She is my best friend (even tho she drives me crazy most of the time), my co-worker and supervisor and i couldnt think of anyone else to walk me down the isle!

Audra, that is so sweet. You just put tears in my eyes.

Tasha....What a wonderful tribute!

Heather - Bravo! I was so flattered when Cate asked me to walk her down the aisle w/ her father. She told me she would not have it any other way. Her father & I divorced when she was 8.

My daddy is 73 years old. This wasn't the first time he has given me away. Throughout my life, he has worked 2 & 3 jobs just to make ends meet & send us to decent schools. He wasn't always perfect & is very much a typical Italian father. Whenever I have needed him, he has been there for me both as an adult and as a child. I would have never survived the 7 years before DH when I was a single parent with a 3 month old and an 8 year old without both of my parents, but my father always went above and beyond.

I am 50 years old and he will always be my, "Daddy". I am proud to say I am "Daddy's Little Girl" and that is the song we danced to for a 2nd time.

Awww! Your stories are amazing!!

My step-dad, kinda, lol mom and he are divorced now.. but anyway he has been the only person that has stuck with me through my teenage mistakes and my tears and everything.

He came into my life when i was 14 right after my mom divorced the first time. I was not happy bout the transition at first. Then i got in some bigggg trouble and he was the only one there. My first step dad, of 10 years mind you, decided he didnt want to be apart of my life anymore after this trouble. (just a MIP like any other kid) My 'dad' now has never been disappointed in anything i have ever done, even when my mom was. He is the perfect picture of a dad. He loves me like he is the one that gave birth to me! He cannot wait to give me away and neither can I!!

( I have never known my sperm donor )

Well my father isnt even invited lol my Gma and my uncle will stand up with my mom and "give me away" although they arent saying that, they are going to say something else. but the three of them have basically raised me and are most of the family i have

@GBAC - i LOVE that story! i always hoped for that but my mom didnt get re-married until after i had moved out of the house and her husband and i dont have that great of a relationsip! it really shows you how much of a MAN he is that he is still a big part of your life even though he is not longer married to momma! your lucky

My older brother is giving me away. I've been a daddy's girl my whole life and unfortunately for him, he's not invited. He chose to abandon me at the tender age of 30 for a new ex wife!

Since my parents divorced when I was 7, I have not had contact with my biological father, save for a brief peiod of time after my younger brother turned 18 when he was trying to get out of all of the back child support he still owed my mother. We still didn't see him then, but he wrote to us.

Needless to say, he was not an option to walk me down the aisle. Many years ago, my brother mentioned to me (I think I was about 17, so he would have been 16 at the time) that when I got married, he would be honored to give me away.

Although it took 14 years for me to finally take the plunge, I could not imagine walking down the aisle with anyone else. Although we were terrors to each other when we were small, we are very close now. We talk about everything and see each other as often as possible. Having him walk me down the aisle was the perfect decision. He even got a little emotional - more so when he hugged me after ward and told me how proud he was I love my "little" brother

My crazy older brother is walking me down the aisle, butt length long hair and all... though I think he'll actually wear a suit if I buy if for him. Our dad wasn't in our life after we were 2 and 4 and he died when I was 10. My mom raised us as a single mom and if my brother didn't want to walk me down she would.

I dont have a pic of my dad with me right now. But he is a wonderful guy. Hes always been so protective over me and was a little iffy with me getting married at first. Now he is excited. <3 And he looks adorable in his suit, mind you my dad hardly dresses up lol.

My dad is walking me down the aisle. He and I get along more then my mother and I. I think this is due to sharing similar interests....politics, news, history. We both majored in the same thing in university (Political Science). He helps out whenever I ask and is paying for the majority of our wedding. I am and will always be "Daddy's Little Girl".

I am blessed with three great kids all who are in my second wedding. My older two will be stepchildren to my FH. My older son is walking me down the aisle. He's father and I seperated when he was just a baby so he's closer to me than his father and a bit of a momma's boy. I am proud of all the things he's overcame being severely underweight due to medical issues. This is him and his little brother when we were going on a scout camping trip last summer. The little one will be our ring bearer.

Thanks heather!! he is the best!!

Well my sperm donor is not invited but my mom's ex-boyfriend was "dad" to me since I was about 9. He and my mom will be sharing the honor. The photo is my mom, my "step"dad (they were never actually married), my younger brother and me.

And my fsil just asked fh if he would give her away. Their dad is in the final stages of pancreatic cancer right now and they don't think he'll be able to make it to her wedding in May, nor ours in June. I thought it was very sweet of her to ask him to give her away and though he won't admit it I'm pretty sure he feels pretty touched by her request.

Me and my Dad have had a lot of ups and downs in our life. He has a temper which came out on many occasions growing up and there have been many occasions that I haven't been proud of his words or actions. There were times in high school and college when I would think about the day that I get married and think about if I even wanted him to walk me down the aisle. When it all boils down though, he is my father and I know that he loves me and my family more than anything else. He worked hard his entire life to provide me and my family with everything we could need and want. Our relationship has improved greatly over the past few years, and I am proud to have him walk me down the aisle next month.

Jesi H. - your story about your FSIL brought tears to my eyes!

This is me and my dad. My mom left when I was 1, and he has raised me my entire life. He worked during the day, went to school at night, and always made sure I was taken care of. He would tell me stories of how he had $5 to his name raising a baby girl and it makes me tear up every time. I don't know what I would do without him.

My dad has always been a huge inspiration in my life. I am is youngest daughter and his last to walk down the aisle. He has shown me that no matter what your age is or background, you can do whatever you put your mind to. He has done many things in his life: race car driver, truck driver, college student, surgical technician, and karate instructor. My dad went back to school when I was a sophomore and graduated with a degree in surgical technology a month before I graduated high school. He now owns his own karate studio. He showed me that you can overcome any obstacles that life brings. He has come along way from being in a foster home and not graduating high school. I love my dad and can't wait for him to walk me down the aisle.

Although my dad will be in attendance, my son my first born will be giving me away. I chose my son over my dad for the simple reason that for a 12 yr old he's very mature smart and through all my trials and tribulations he's always there to say those three beautiful words I LOVE YOU. I had to leave him when he was three to go serve over in Afghanistan it was the longest seperation ever. And when I came home we were inseperable, I love my Boy !!!!!!

Both of my dads will be walking me down the isle. My "Step" dad and mom divorced 4 years ago, but no matter what a piece of paper says he will always be one of my dads. He has raised me since I was 4 years old. I have a great relationship with both of my dads and It wouldn't feel right to me to have only one of them walk me down the isle and give me away.

Here is a picture of my actual dad and I. I dont have any pictures of my other one on hand.
