Father of the Bride
For many brides, showing their love for their fathers is an important -- and super emotional -- part of their wedding day. Sure, your dad can walk you down the aisle, but there are plenty of other ways to include your pops in your wedding.
Ask him to officiate
While he may prefer to be a spectator, your dad would likely be honored if you asked him to lead the ceremony.
Plan a special first dance with him
While a father-daughter dance is often a given, you can make it more special by taking dance lessons together in the months before the wedding or choreographing a special dance that you'll bust into after a minute of slow dancing. Or just choose a first dance song that has meaning for the two of you.
Invite him to do a reading or a blessing
This is a simple way to include your dad, but you can make it more personal by choosing a reading that has meaning to the two of you.
First Look
What a memorable and touching moment it will be when your dad first sees you in your wedding dress...
Get down the aisle in style
Find another creative way to get down the aisle together in a way that represents your relationship.
Tap into his talents
If your dad is musically inclined, ask him to be the accompanist to your wedding singer or sing a short song at your ceremony. If he's a skilled builder, ask him if he'd be willing to construct your wedding backdrop. These kinds of personal contributions are so special and the kind of thing you'll always remember.
Make your "something old" a tribute to him
A lot of brides wear jewelry that has been passed down to them from women in their family or feature a bit of lace from their mother's or grandmother's wedding dress in their bouquet. But you could honor your dad by wearing his watch, fastening his favorite tie pin to your bouquet, or having a pair of his cuff links turned into earrings.
It's Your Day wishes all dads a Happy Father's Day month!!!
