I of course am going to ask my future father in laws approval. The approval of the family is very important, but the approval of Jesus is the most important for me.
when i was to get married, i chose my father-in-law to be to walk me down the aisle because i wasn’t in a good place with my father. But my FIL told me to walk with my father or i would regret it one day. 34 years later, he was right. I am in a better place with my father and that would have hurt some feelings along the way. When we teach young ones to listen and learn from those with experience, hopefully they can grow and be able to pass on their experience to someone else❤
My father was in England and too ill to travel to my wedding which was officiated by the Mayor of our tiny village. He died shortly afterwards and I did make it to the funeral. That was in the 1980’s I’d give anything to hear his voice. I “Talk” to him every day and tell him about how my day is going, I really feel he is with me giving me love and support.
Trevor the groom reminds me of Colin Jost from Saturday Night Live. Oh- and I would’ve given anything for my dad to still be around on my wedding day to give a toast like this. The love is so apparent. (The shots were a bit much, but hey, who’s counting? 😄). It’s clear how much he loves his daughter- and new “son”. My eyes leaked a little watching this. Must be the allergies……
I passive-aggressively used a father's wedding speech to make fun of my unmarried boss. She was upset I had signed up for a one-person shift. One of our student leader's responsibilities is organizing who works which shifts on the schedule, and my boss scolded him for not noticing I had signed up to go solo. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen" (something like, that, so I'm not perfectly quoting her), and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. A couple hours later, after the bride's dad's speech, I said to him in front of my boss, "That was one nice speech, sir. Made me excided for when I get married someday. [I frowned]. Man, I hope I don't end up in my 50s having _never_ been married...especially if I'm still working these wedding receptions." How obvious is my secret insult?
I have to do this next month for my daughters wedding . Thanks for the great speech . It’s not easy standing up in front of so many people being sober for 15 years . Well done👍
Beautiful. Just one thing. Did he really fix it so his son in law is stationed closer to home? I just wondered if the couple would have wanted that if it was true.
great job sir! i have 2 sons i will be stealing your line about your daughter giving you a son except mine will say about my boys giving me a daughter...
As long as she's not caught, it didn't happen 😀. On a serious note: I'm wondering why the hell everyone thinks that military wifes/girlfriends ( & more and more: female military husbands/boyfriends) wanna sleep with someone else while their man or woman is not around? Maybe you would ... but THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERYONE WOULD.
I'm a father of a bride to be. Keep it under 5 minutes at most. The day is about the bride & groom, not a narcissistic dad. He meant well, but brevity is the soul of wit. They all seemed to enjoy it though.
