“My mom just replied, “Oh, you’re getting married?” And my dad just said, “Oh, ok.” Despite our differences in opinions, my mom did agree to help me plan the wedding, and my dad agreed to walk me down the aisle.”

When her dad heard the news that her sister wanted him to walk her down the aisle, he started tearing up, and he also cried when her sister discussed the rest of the plans for the wedding day.

In contrast, she feels her dad showed no emotion when she asked if he would be the one to walk her down the aisle, and she feels “cheated.”

Her sister clearly was hurt by her acting like this, and she did offer up an apology. As soon as those words left her mouth, she turned around and accused her mom of not taking that same level of interest when she was shopping for wedding dresses.
