Telling my dad i don't want him to officiate

I would just be honest!

I thought about my dad officiating it but knew he would be too emotional to make it through the ceremony.

View Quoted Comment My dad has like no emotions that you can read. He only talks about his diet and im scared he would work that in hahaha

My dad is officiating us he asked and i thought it wrked out 4me cuz i wanted my brother to walk me down the aisle and my dad and brother would give me away.. But just let your dad know how u feel i know its hard but have that talk with him hopefully he understands his job is2walk you down and have fun...

Is he walking you down the aisle or doing the father daughter? Other than those two things he should just relax and have fun.

Tell him you think he should be able to enjoy the night and you think the role of bride's father is a very important one you'd like him to concentrate on. Maybe you could think about having him a give a toast or do the welcoming after the ceremony? Something that's still important but not overwhelming

I asked my dad to officiate and he said no. He was worried he wouldn't be able to get through the ceremony because of the emotions. Will he be walking you down the aisle? If so, that is his job and to enjoy and relax.

I would just be honest with him! It's not unrealistic to want your father to just be dad for a day However, if he is really wanting something to do, maybe give him a task like being the point of contact for vendors on the day of, or something like that. But I would just be up front and honest and tell him "Dad, love you, and I want you to not do anything on this day but show up and enjoy!"
