Please tell me I am!

So I have just watched the wedding, and me and my dp have never wanted to get married, neither of us have ever expressed an interest in getting married. (I have a Claddagh ring (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claddagh_ring, that I wear as a wedding band).

It has only just occurred to me that I am my fathers only daughter, and that he might want to 'give me away' (even though this is the part I hate).

Should I consider an informal ceremony so that he can 'give me away', or something similar.

I would feel a little guilty if i didn't. [csmile]

That isnt really a good enough reason to get married. :)

Agree with squeaky.

Marriage isn't something to be taken lightly and to please your dad! :)

Have a look on the feminist threads about how dreadful it is to be "given away".

It's about you, not your dad.

It sounds like you might be pre-empting being worried - has your Dad actually ever said he's bothered by this? Tbh - even if he was, to 'give' someone away is stupid, so am sure if you nicely explained how you felt about it he'd be OK.

Thank you!!! no really I was starting to think that I 'had' to get married (to please an old man).

Seriously thank you [csmile].
