The fact that he requested a hug at the end tells that her dad was hurt by her request but played it cool for her sake.

[Lissy]

I’m sure he felt sad inside and didn’t say anything. 😢

[isabelespino]

I understand wanting that moment to yourself, but I could never ever ever imagine doing it without my dad by my side. He has been here more than anybody in the entire world for me. He deserves that shine too.

[JoelEmmettMcGarrity]

That’s got to be really hard for her dad.

[Kin_Kin]

See when I got married last month I had my dad walk me down the isle, but instead of my dad “giving me away” the pastor said “Who is it that celebrates the coming together of these two families?” And then both of our parents said “we do”. And I love that so much more.
So my dad still got to walk me down the isle, but it wasn’t exactly traditional where I was like “property”.

In my culture, the bride actually walks by herself first and then meets both parents at the middle of the aisle and they all walk together and meet the groom with his parents at the end of the aisle. I’m just typing this out there for anyone who might like to try this idea ❤

[threadhoney]

She has no idea how many daughters wish they could have a father walk them down the aisle.

[krislivingston]

Even with ur dad walking you down the aisle…the moment is still all about you. Nobody was looking at my dad when I got married. All eyes were on me.

[Ash-]

This makes me cry, I wish my dad could walk me down the aisle one day, he passed in January 2023

[IsabellaRoss-hlqd]

Walking down the aisle with your dad is a very proud moment for him, I’m sure it hurt that was taken away. You can leave out the part about who gives this woman to this man and just hug at the end of the aisle, and still let him have that special moment with his daughter.

[bphifer]

I would bet money this dad was crushed, but men have learned to try and exude strength. This is not sweet. It’s heartbreaking

[nicolemarie]

This is actually super sad and I feel bad for the dad. Dads can’t wait to have that special moment with their daughters.

[toxiclovee]

My dad passed less than a year after I got married and I know he waited his whole life for that moment and I'd do it the same all over again. You never know when you may loose them ❤

[FaithieFroggy]

One thing I've always found interesting is how differently people feel about all sorts of things. I personally couldn't imagine not sharing that special moment with my dad and he would agree. I'm glad she got what she wanted and her dad was so respectful of her wishes, though ❤ so sweet!

[jennaimgrund]

I had both my parents walk me down the aisle. They both raised me, so they both got to give me away. 🥰 My mom cried when I told her I wanted her to give me away too, not just my dad. I could tell it meant a lot to her.

[werethewilsons]

I love Matt and Abbey and have been with them for years, across all of their moments rooting for them. So sad they support somone this awful

[i_do_]

I know for a fact that hurt the dad . Like I know she wanted that moment for herself but sometimes I feel like shared moments like these is what makes it memorable and more meaningful I know walking yourself down is empowering or a moment for other to appreciate you or you to appreciate yourself but yeah your dad was truly hurt

[stefanygarcia]

My dad passed away in October 2022. It hurts me so bad to watch and listen to this. 😢💔

[amandatransformed]

I needed my dad there to hold me up, because it was such an emotional moment for me. It was important for me to have him there for that, I've always felt close to my dad so it was a must for me! It also probably also the case for some dads, to be able to feel needed by their kid in such a important moment in their lives. Allowing them to walk you down the isle for that can be so meaningful for some fathers. I am so happy I will always have that memory.

[TexasbyStorm]

Dad will have the memories with all his other daughters. And this one will never fully understand what she missed out on. One day she will regret this decision. Those quiet moments before walking down the aisle, just the two of us, he had a sentimental little speech that only he and I shared. We could hear the quiet chatter in the other room, we looked at each other and smiled, he told me I was so beautiful and he was proud of me. I was his only little girl. It was such special, precious, priceless moment. I wouldn't trade it for anything, especially since he passed in 2019.
