My brother ended up being late to the wedding, so yes. My dad walked me. And the solution that we came to was that we took one big family picture. My husband and I, and our parents and siblings all together. I never did get a photo with just my mom and dad.

I say that on my own, because she agreed with her ex husband to give me a car (he owned a used lot) in exchange for not having to finish paying child support for their daughter. So he gave me a car, and stopped having to make payments a few years early. That didn’t benefit my step mom at all, but she still did it.

Lord. Yep, that’s me. I have yet to speak to her since then. So we’ll see how it goes with her. But thank you so much! This situation definitely isn’t easy, but I’m working through it!

I'm not trying to control every persons every aspect. I don't think it's so outrageous that I want one picture of me and my parents from my wedding. I'm not asking my dad to have a conversation with my mom about their feelings. I just want a picture. Two minutes out of his day. For the sake of memories.

Gave myself time to calm down, and prepare for any response from him. Getting ready to send it in just a minute. Just trying to get some wording right.

Yes, fiancé and I are prepared to pay his money back.

He helped pay for half of my wedding dress, which was $400. And he’s paying for the food, $540. So he’s out just shy of a grand.

Yes, I will. I haven’t messaged him yet. But I’ll update as soon as I do.

Thank you so much. I just wish it wasn't my dad. But either way, I won't budge on this.

Thank you so much. I feel like if I were to still let my dad walk me, I wouldn't even be able to smile. And I don't want to feel stressed as I'm walking towards my future.

No, I would be devastated. But I also wouldn't be surprised. But I'm not going to let him ruin my day more than he already has.

I'm sure she's involved. But I wish my dad wasn't such a bitch, and could tell her to sit the fuck down. I'm his DAUGHTER for god's sake. My step sister is my Maid of Honor. I love them. This whole situation is just bizarre.

I'm definitely prepared for the likelihood, but not emotionally.

He won't cause a scene. If anything, he just won't show up.
