Life Will you lose it when your daughter gets married? - Page 2

ZepSinger · 05-22-2009, 02:39 PM

I don't know if this is normal or not. The thought of any of my daughters (7, 10, and 11 yrs old currently) getting married and leaving home just about makes me come apart. The second I start to picture that day, I instantly feel the ol' lump in the throat. There's a couple of songs out there right now (one is called 'Cinderella') about this very subject, and I have to turn them off whenever they pop up on the radio. If I pay attention to the words, I instantly feel the waterworks building up.

And here's my biggest fear- breaking down like a frickin' girly man during the father/daughter dance at their eventual weddings. Not to mention walking them up the aisle and giving them away. Criminy, I won't be able to croak out the words "her mother and I"- my wife will probably have to do it. I am dreading this embarrassing scenario.

I don't suppose that anyone who doesn't have a daughter will understand. That father/daughter bond- wow, that's a special one. So here's my question- are there any other fathers of daughters in CP land that feel this way? Maybe it's just because they're still young. Who knows, maybe by the time they turn 21 I'll throw a party when they leave..

No. My daughter is a menace. I'll be glad to get rid of her. I might even throw in a dowry.

My dad cried at my wedding. It happens. But I knew at that moment that I was still his little girl, even though I was becoming a woman.

Not an attack chimp I hope, you don't want your future son-in-law to have his hands and face ripped off, do you?

A chimpanzee is not a monkey.

I'm pretty sure I'll be happy for her provided she isn't marrying some dick bag that I want to set on fire. If thats the case she can pay for her own damn wedding.

I might have jumped at an elephant, but chickens won't do it, not in my punjabi wedding.
