So my daughter is getting married.

[OldDevilDawg]

Seems that her "boyfriend" of 10 years and the father of my grandchildren decided to "man up". I been waiting on this for years. How should a father feel about "giving his daughter away"? I'm kind of emotional right now.

I wouldnt know, I have a son.. but what was the sumbitch waiting for.. dayum...

 

[Nod4Eight]

Did he do the right thing and ask your blessing?

I'd like to think that he was waiting until he was sure that he was mature enough to not fuck it up. Us guys are really good at not doing that. Great kid that I like a lot.

He asked for that years ago. My answer was, "you won't have to ask when you know for sure."

Not rushing into it,speaks volumes.

Anybody experienced this? I'm struggling y'all.

Nope not yet. Our daughter does some job in the AF literally underground in N. Mexico. She doesn't talk about it really.

I did about 3.5 years ago. I was good with it as I knew that if my daughter thought he was good enough for her then he was good enough for me. She's very particular and was never into dating unless she thought it could go somewhere.
We both did breakdown the day of the wedding when the first time I saw her in her wedding dress.
If he's a good man and he loves your daughter, your daughter loves him. and he's a good father then your struggles should fade rather quickly.

I already know for sure that I'm gonna "get something in my eye".

He's a good man with all the usual problems of a "young" man. I know I am gaining a son that I will be proud of.

I understand. The fact that she doesn't talk about what she's not allowed to talk about speaks volumes about you and Marla as parents. You taught her well.

Hell, the oldest son is in the AF too. Look up the E4 B by Boeing. That's where his job is.

Intel is a formidable job. Having both of your kids in a job that requires a TS clearance is something to be proud of, bro. It's not easy for them. Be a supportive parent to kids that can't talk about what they do. You made them.

I have two sons and I can’t wait to give those fuckers away....... I will not experience the father/daughter relationship.

Good advice. Thanks bro.

Good advice. Thanks bro.

We are planning a get together up above Ashville, NC around July of next year. Mark your calendar. If I can drive 8 hours to be there, you can drive 3.
