Dad Refuses to Pay For Daughter’s Wedding Because She Doesn’t Want Him to Walk Her Down the Aisle: ‘It’s Selfish’

A 48-year-old father faced disappointment when his 19-year-old daughter expressed her wish to walk down the aisle alone at her wedding. Feeling hurt, the father, posting on Reddit, explained that his daughter believed her parents didn’t “own” her and, therefore, had no right to “give her away.” Despite calmly discussing the matter with her, the daughter remained firm in her decision.

In response, the father decided not to financially contribute to her wedding, feeling that her choice disregarded his and his wife’s feelings. He sought validation for his decision on Reddit, where the post garnered over 12,000 upvotes and sparked a debate. Some criticized the father, while others sympathized with his feelings.

The father clarified that the disagreement wouldn’t ruin their relationship, expressing his intention to attend her wedding. To address the financial aspect, he proposed giving her an amount equal to what he spent on his other daughter’s wedding, allowing her to spend it as she wished. The father highlighted his hurt feelings, perceiving her decision as a rejection of everything they had done for her.

Despite the emotional turmoil, he emphasized his commitment to maintaining a relationship with his daughter, acknowledging the disagreement as significant but not a reason to sever ties. The Reddit post provided a platform for discussion on parental expectations, independence, and the complexities of familial relationships.
