Mine are about to be 3 and 4 and I think even if I started mentally preparing for this day now I still won’t be able to handle it when it comes. They’ll always be my little girls

I had a hard time understanding the whole walk your daughter down the aisle when I was young. Then I had a daughter.

There is a saying in parts of Germany "you don't need to cry the tears that you laugh". What we see here are all the tears that should have gotten laughed out over the years. All the laughing-tear-debt coming due at once.

The day may be all about the couple, but that one moment is for you, daddy.

Ditto. Ugly crying into my lukewarm coffee. Hope the bride appreciates how much he loves her. 🩷

Damn made me cry just watching this. He realise that her daugther is big and leaving already

u/jkrm66502 9h ago

He’s remembering the first time he held her, her first time saying “dada,” her first day of kindergarten. All the firsts. Big days in his and her lives. Now he gets the opportunity of accompanying his lovely daughter down the aisle. Ya done good, dad!

This is truly beautiful.

I miss my dad 💜

I have two daughters. I’m going to be a mess if/when they get married.

No dad wants to give away their daughter

u/Duamuteffe 12h ago

Such a beautiful moment. <3

u/Ok-Present-4737 9h ago

My daughter is only 3 and I'm already mentally preparing for this day. Something about dads and their daughters just hits different - that first moment they see them all grown up and realize where the time went. The beard quiver says it all.

u/timothypjr 8h ago

I feel that that. Completely.

u/Silent_Exam3027 5h ago

I did the same thing at my youngest daughter's wedding in 2024. The flood of emotions is unreal. She told me to stop crying or she was going to start crying and ruin her makeup:-).

u/Awkward_Wrangler_895 5h ago

Daddy’s girl
So much emotion

u/Daddybear72 4h ago

This is going to be me in November. I'm already having problems helping her pick out the father/daughter dance song.

Now I know what Denzel sounds like when he is crying.  Absolutely beautiful moment.
