Father's love is as strong as a mountain: When a father thinks of his daughter getting married, he breaks through his defenses and cries loudly
On an occasion full of joy and blessings like a wedding, a father's emotions are often complex and contradictory. When a daughter wears a pure white wedding dress and walks into the marriage hall holding the groom's hand, many fathers feel an indescribable emotional impact at this moment. This emotion contains both the satisfaction of my daughter's happiness and the reluctance and concern that she is about to leave the house.
A father recalled every little moment of his daughter's childhood at a wedding, from her first time learning to walk unsteadily to now standing tall and graceful, filled with pride and emotion. However, as his daughter was about to become a member of someone else's family, the father couldn't help but shed tears. He realized that from now on, his daughter would no longer rely on herself as before, but would start living independently. This emotional transformation made him feel extremely sad, and even choked up at the wedding venue.
At another wedding, the bride's father had originally agreed to control his emotions, but in the moment he looked at his daughter, he could no longer suppress his emotions and burst into tears. The bride was also infected by her father's emotions and cried uncontrollably. This scene moved everyone present, and some even expressed that they couldn't help but shed tears when they saw it.
Many fathers choose to silently shed tears when their daughters get married, because they know that if they show too much sadness at the wedding, it may make their daughters feel uneasy or stressed. However, when faced with memories alone, they cannot control their emotions. For example, a father secretly wiped away tears on his way home after the wedding. He recalled his daughter's growth process from childhood to adulthood, and his heart was filled with reluctance and sadness.
At the same time, fathers also worry about whether their daughters' married life will be happy and fulfilling. They hope their daughter can find a truly loving partner and receive happiness and support in their married life. Therefore, in wedding speeches, many fathers will remind their daughters to be filial to their parents in law, respect their husbands, and hope that they can spend the rest of their lives together.
Nevertheless, fathers will also feel happy and gratified for their daughters. After all, her daughter's marriage is an important milestone in her life, which means she has grown up and found her own happiness. At weddings, fathers usually express their blessings with a simple yet profound phrase: "I have entrusted my little cotton jacket to you, please cherish her." This sentence is not only a blessing for their daughter, but also a trust and expectation for their son-in-law.
However, for some fathers, the moment their daughters get married is still a difficult reality to accept. They may feel lost and lonely when they suddenly realize that 'there will only be an old couple left in the future'. The complexity of this emotion makes many fathers appear unusually quiet and reserved at weddings, and even unable to calm down for a long time after the ceremony.
Whether at the wedding venue or in private, fathers' emotional expressions towards their daughters' marriage are full of depth and complexity. They feel both gratified by their daughter's growth and saddened by the imminent loss of this' little cotton jacket '. This interweaving of emotions makes the wedding a special moment filled with love and tears. As a netizen once said, "As a father, the happiest thing is the day when his daughter comes into the world, and the most reluctant thing is the day when his daughter gets married." This sentence expresses the feelings of countless fathers.
