The man began his post by proudly sharing that he had raised his daughter to be an \u201cindependent thinker.\u201d However, he was offended when she expressed her desire to extinguish his role of walking her down the aisle on her big day. After getting engaged, the girl told her parents she wanted to walk down the aisle alone. The father says, \u201cShe argues that her mother and I don\u2019t \u2018own\u2019 her. Therefore we have no right to \u2018give her away.’\u201d The man was upset upon learning what his daughter thought about her parents and explained:<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel hurt by this because we never treated her like an object or piece of property. Instead, we\u2019ve tried our best to provide her with a wonderful life.\u201d Before posting about his conflict on Reddit, the man with the username Live_Appointment4219 calmly talked to his daughter, trying to make her understand why he disagreed with her decision. However, she did not rethink her decision. She was sure about walking down the aisle alone. Due to her decision, the parent chose not to pay for her special day. He reasoned that he respected his daughter\u2019s choices but felt she completely disregarded his and his wife\u2019s feelings. However, because he was unsure of his decision, Live_Appointment4219 shared his story on Reddit, asking netizens if he did the right thing. According to him, what bothered him the most was:\u201dShe\u2019s had every opportunity in life so far, and to exclude us from this day is a spit in the face.\u201d He saw her choice as rejecting everything her parents had done, sacrificed, and given her \u2014 which he saw as selfish. However, the man clarified that the disagreement between him and his daughter wasn\u2019t so significant that it would ruin their relationship. He said he would attend her wedding regardless of her decision and never kick her out of his life because of this issue. Live_Appointment4219 also came up with a solution, which was to give his daughter money equal to the sum he spent on his other daughter\u2019s wedding. He believed that was a fair decision since giving her money would allow her to spend it however she wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man\u2019s daughter told him she didn\u2019t want him to walk her down the aisle on her wedding…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[7],"class_list":{"0":"post-1281","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"cs-entry"},"authors":[{"term_id":7,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"admin","display_name":"Arya Roberts","avatar_url":{"url":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/q6.jpg","url2x":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/q6.jpg"},"author_category":"","first_name":"","last_name":"","user_url":"https:\/\/americapwd.com","job_title":"","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1281"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1283,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1281\/revisions\/1283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1281"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/americapwd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fppma_author&post=1281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
