Just kidding.
Here's one place to look: Mayve she could do her dance with your dad. She's gaining a father on this day too. He's not a substitute for her own father, of course, but having her have her dance with your dad will symbolize her joining your family, everyone becoming part of each others' lives.
I dunno. It's a thought. Probably not a great one...
This is the worst side of weddings--the godawful balancing act that's necessary to keep everybody happy and have everybody be peaceful and fine with everything. Everyone loses sight of what the event is really about, and it becomes a pissing contest over whose dress gets worn and who got to choose the food and who else gets their own petty little shit.
There's this whole wonderful, amazing, great side to weddings too. Don't get me wrong about that. This is just the part that rankles me about it.
