[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you.  I used to stress out about this kind of thing.  Then my dad died.  I didn't get married 'till I was 40, so there were a lot of weddings I lived through feeling left out and sad.  I have pictures of him dancing the "father-daughter" dance with cousins whose dads had died, but none of me doing the same.  But that's because of my own life decisions.  I guess I could have gotten married at 21, or at least tried to make it a priority, if that's what I absolutely wanted.

Now he's dead.  I walked myself down the aisle.  I had a beautiful wedding and missed my dad.  None of the joy that he gave to other female relatives at their weddings detracted from the joy of my wedding day, I promise you.  I missed him, but the memory of him making other brides happy did not in any way take away from mine.  I hope it will be the same for you.

I'm sorry you missed so much with your dad.  There is lots of love left, though; please don't push it away while you can still love each other.[/quote]
