My Dad...

It's Father's Day... I don't get to hang out with my dad for another few weeks, which sucks... I need to get myself closer to the fam.  Just need a job to get us there...

The wedding we went to yesterday and the fact that today is father's day has caused me to think a lot about my dad at my wedding.  I'm an only child, and I wouldn't call myself a "Daddy's Girl", but he has always been the first person I called when I needed to know how to do something, or when I wanted someone to tell me what I should do.

I went to a wedding last night and watched my friend's dad with tears in his eyes all night, from the moment he walked her down the aisle.  As soon as he started to tear up, J said, "that's going to be your dad", and it made me think about the fact that I have not really talked to my dad about the wedding day.  I know he loves J, and I know that he was excited (and appreciative) when J asked his permission to ask me to marry him.  He's excited about the wedding in the sense that he is inheriting a "son", but it makes me wonder if he feels like he's losing his little girl.  I don't know if he's excited about the fact that I'm going traditional (dad walks bride down the aisle, father daughter dance) or if he doesn't want all that pressure  :)

I know it will be an emotional day for me... I cried 3-4 times last night watching my friends get married... but I am really starting to wonder how my dad will handle it.
