Redditors Descend On Man Who Refused To Walk His Daughter Down The Aisle Because She Didn’t Ask First

Weddings are beautiful occasions, and they are a significant event for the couple who are becoming tied together for life. Every bride would love for her dad to be the one to walk her down the aisle and hand her over to her spouse, but what happens when your dad refuses to oblige that request?

Well, that is exactly what this Redditor named u/throw_dad7755 did to his own daughter. He became confused about his decision along the way and decided to share his story with the AITA subreddit community to get their verdict.

According to the story, the OP has two daughters: one is his biological daughter, Marie, who lives with his ex-wife, and the other is his present wife’s daughter, Julie, who is his stepdaughter. The OP helped raise Julie as his own daughter, so when it was time for her to get married, she asked him to walk her down the aisle, which he gladly accepted.

Then he received a call from Marie, and they hung out. During their time together, Marie told him that she was pregnant and would soon be getting married, so he had to walk her down the aisle, to which the OP said he’d think about it.

When he told his family about it, they asked the OP to tell his daughter to wait because Julie wanted to be walked down the aisle first. Did the OP do as he was told?

The edit...

There’s a lot that goes into planning a wedding, not to mention all the family dramas that were sorted out before D-Day. When a wedding goes perfectly without any problems, the couple breathes a sigh of relief at the end of the day.
