Engaged?!?!


Question Posted Tuesday March 27 2007, 1:02 pm

Well I am 23 and got engaged when I was 17. My mom has been very supportive of this and happy for the two of us. Then my Dad isnt very happy he hasn't talked to me since I told him I was engaged. I know I have never been close to him but it has been really bugging me since I am to be getting married in May. I know that he is not going to be the one to walk me down the isle I told him that along time ago that it would be my brother that is going to. But what I am trying to see is should I get married without my dads approval?

Hi.

Congradulations.

I, am also engaged, and fortunatly have very supportive parents. Although the first thoughts of it really bothered my dad. He has finially came around.

I think, that if you sat down with your dad and had a true heart to heart talk with him, he would understand. He is a dad, its his job. Of course, he isn't gonna want to give away his daughter. All dads are going to be hesitant for a while.

As for getting married without your dads approval, you are an adult. Do what your heart wants you to do.

Good Luck.

Hi,
i think that you should get married and if your dad really loves you he will be there for your big day!
Im sure he will be there and now your 23 so i dont think thats a bad age to be getting married. he should be happy for you because your happy. he might not walk you down the isle but im sure he will come around and be there. You never know he might come around and end up getting there and he might walk you down the isle. I dont think he would miss his little girl's wedding. Im sur he wont be happy but i know he will get over it so dont worry bout it and talk to him. Try to see if he will walk you down and tell him that your happy and he should be happy for you like everyone else is. he should be happy your with teh same guy i mean i think i would be happy for my daughter to be with one guy all her life so i wouldnt worry about some other guy. Does your dad like him?? Has your dad known him for awhile? if he has then i dont see the problem. soooo if you want to get married GET MARRIED!! BE HAPPY !!!!!
xoxo BEST WISHES!!

Six years?
In my opinion, stop waiting for your dad's approval. It doesn't seem like you're going to get it. But, seeing as you already have someone else lined up for the job of the escourting-- don't wait for it.
He doesn't have to approve of it, but he does have to accept it. He needs to know that he can't control it.
His baby's grown up, you're legal and in love. If he hasn't talked to you in six years, hun, I think it's safe to say that all future relationships between the two of you are totally up to you. Your father's not going to come around, so move on or take it into your own hands.

Congratulations on the wedding--
