Hey ladies, ever since my engagement my father has become a pretty awful father. Right after getting engaged, I got a job in Texas and moved 1400 miles away from home. This is also where my fiancés family lives. Since then, he says that he is only coming to the wedding to help my grandparents get there. He also ignores my calls and texts.. He even blames it on my fiancé for choosing to have the wedding during hunting season and takin me 1400 miles away from "home". He even told me he didnt like our engagement pictures. Anyway, I had asked him to walk me down the aisle months ago but am having a very hard time with this now because of the way he has acted towards me. Does anyone have any advise? Is it okay to walk down the aisle by myself?

Maybe it's time to settle down and have a very in-depth heart heart with him. It's time to let him know that this is a very important time for you and that you want him to be more supportive. Remind him that you are in love with your future husband and that you are happy. Remind him that you will always love him even if you are far away. It's really important that does not be a fight and not feel like you're accusing him or criticizing him but actually speaking from your heart. I hope that it helps and that you guys work it out because this is a very special moment in your life and no one should regret anything

I would hate to have a falling out with my dad and choose to not have him walk down the isle. Then patch things up and have missed that once in a life time moment with him. Have a real heart to heart with him first. He may just be having a hard time having you so far away and does not know how to express that.

My parents went through an ugly divorce and I was always scared that my dad wouldn't walk me down the aisle due to the fact the my wedding is held at my mothers venue, so I would have my grandfather who I am very close with walk me down the aisle or lastly I would choose my brother. Thankfully my dad will be walking me down the aisle with no hesitation!! That is such a hard situation and I hope your dad can put his hatred aside and be apart of your special day.

How was your relationship prior to your engagement? I would definitely have a heart to heart with him. He may hold some animosity because you moved so far away to someone else's family. I'm sure it's hard to have your little girl leave home.

So sorry your going through this
Unfortunately your not alone
My father told me he was too embarrassed to walk Piggy petunia down the isle
So after crying my eyes out realized I do have other options
My son said he is not embarrassed of me at all and would be proud to walk me down the isle
Or you can go with out an escort or walk down the isle with Mom . Just wanted you to know your Not alone God is with YOU and he truly loves you and will NOT forsake you Keep your chin up.
