[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last time I checked the wedding was about the bride and groom. Who cares what the dad thinks/wants. ITA with the PP who said that her dad would be upset if she compromised her beliefs for his ego. [/quote] It is not just about the bride and groom (or bride and bride, or groom and groom). It is about both of them leaving their families or origin and creating a new family. There is beautiful symbolism in that and nothing wrong with honoring your family and involving them in your wedding in meaningful ways. We found ways to incorporate nearly everyone who was truly meaningful to us - family AND friends. This narcissistic "it's my/our day" crap really bothers me. If you don't think it holds powerful meaning for parents, you either have no children or have no feelings. I dread the thought of my son marrying a woman who has your attitude and values her own family and future family with such disdain.[/quote]
