To give you a hint of what goes into his mind at the wedding of his daughter, we have prepared this list. Try to read it without getting overwhelmed.
1. Is she old enough?
When a father gives his blessings to his daughter and future son-in-law, he feels incredible and all set to get his daughter married but when the day finally comes, this is the question that runs inside his head on a loop. For the father of the bride, his daughter is never old enough. He will always imagine her in her pigtails.
2. She is so beautiful
Yes, you are the most beautiful girl in the world for him but watching you for the first time as bride will give him goose bumps. We know he won’t say it out loud but he thinks that no bride can look better than his daughter. This is a surreal feeling for him.
3. I hope he’s worthy of her
This is something that bothers every father. Although a papa turns into a CID officer to find out every bit of information about his future son-in-law, he is never really satisfied. He wants to be sure that the man who will be her daughter’s husband is worthy of her.

At your wedding, your dad will be just as happy, petrified, sad and excited as your mother would be but you won’t be able to identify it. Why? Because he is constantly reminding himself that he has to maintain a straight face. It’s just a camouflage which he thinks is necessary so that his family doesn’t lose their calm.
9. What is this piercing pain?
He knows that you will be moving out but this man has given you his whole life and the thought of you leaving him is painful. It’s the first time that he is going through this which makes it difficult for him to get a hold of this wrenching pain. He is happy for you but he cannot part with this pain.
