“I feel hurt by this because we never treated her like an object or piece of property. Instead, we’ve tried our best to provide her with a wonderful life.”
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’s choices but felt she completely disregarded his and his wife’s 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:”She’s had every opportunity in life so far, and to exclude us from this day is a spit in the face.”
He saw her choice as rejecting everything her parents had done, sacrificed, and given her — which he saw as selfish.
However, the man clarified that the disagreement between him and his daughter wasn’t 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’s wedding.
He believed that was a fair decision since giving her money would allow her to spend it however she wanted.
