Could be worse. I asked one of my co-workers if he would feel better if his daughter was ugly and no one liked her.
At least she is marrying the opposite sex and a decent man. That is something to be thankful for nowadays.

Congratulations. Consider yourself fortunate you have one to “give” and the blessings she gives are going to keep on coming.

Congrats, cousin! That is awesome news.
I’m sure both you and her have quite a few more trips and moments together. Who knows, before long ya might just have another generation to introduce to the old ways.
Having a couple boys, I can’t imagine what it’d be to hand off a daughter. Sounds like she did good though.
Congrats and Hellos to the fam from all of us! Thank you much, it's appreciated. Weren't you at a wedding recently?

Took off today, just sitting here wasting time. My wife and daughters are out getting themselves beautified. In a bit we go to the church and get the food prep taken care of, last night we decorated up there until late.
Tomorrow, I have to take that walk. The one that's made me misty just thinking about for the last 21 years.
I'm gonna shake hands with a good young man, solid Christian, worker, hunter and obsessed fisherman. (I like him.) Then I have to give away one of the most important things I've ever done, or had.
Her cat, who usually only plays with me, jumped on me and laid down purring. I think he senses my mood. Really wish I hadn't started this post, it's getting worse, not better.
What a puss! Wouldn't post it, but to hide it would be even more pussified.
Gonna be glad for the craziness tomorrow, but I'm dreading the drive home tomorrow night. You have my sympathies, and congratulations. Best wishes for your daughter and new son for a bright happy future.

Might be a tough day, but that’s the best way to get to have grand kids, so a small price to pay!

Sounds to me like it's a good day, she was taught well and found a good man. we can't wish for much more than that for our daughters.

I had two great fears the day I gave my daughter away. 1) We had to walk down a grand staircase and I was scared to death of tripping and both of us tumbling all the day down. 2) Blowing my one and only line. “Her mother and I do”. I survived and you will too. Best wishes!!!

Best of luck tomorrow OP. It sounds like she’s marrying a good guy so congrats. I’m sure that day when it comes will be bittersweet for me too.
It’s a tough deal with daughters, knowing that you raised her right and that she’s the center of your world and that you are her’s but that she’ll grow up and start her own family, as she should but that things will change. I didn’t have that same feeling with my son.

Congrats DB. Always celebrate raising productive members of society and their steps through our culture (whatever remains of it).
I've got 3 girls, one might be getting close. Maybe.
Exciting times.
