Daughter left fuming as dad refuses to walk her down the aisle after affair

The bride-to-be’s parents have contributed equally to their daughters’ various weddings but a dad refused to go any further with one daughter after an affair led to marriage

A father has faced backlash from his daughter after refusing to walk her down the aisle at her upcoming wedding. The unnamed dad took to Reddit to explain that he has three daughters and became upset to find that the man one of his daughters was in a relationship with had been seeing another of his daughters behind their backs.

The dad explained: “One of my daughters dated a man for over a year before she found out he and my other daughter were together. Of course no one in our family was impressed with this and I’ve made it clear I don’t support that relationship, because of what they did to my other daughter. They both distanced themselves a bit from us after that.”

This happened over five years ago and since then the relationship has led to an engagement with the two of them due to get married and the other daughter is now married to another man with a child.

The dad explained: “I told all three of my girls previously if they get married, I’ll contribute xyz amount to their weddings. I did so for the daughter with a kid and they covered the rest.”

But the relationship which grew from the affair has made things difficult in the family.

“They are still together and engaged. I’ve offered the same xyz amount to their wedding, but that’s the extent of my involvement,” stated the dad.

“I won’t be walking her down the aisle. She is upset, saying that we’re belittling their long term relationship and I’m holding something that happened years ago over her head.”

However, the dad has stayed firm and says he will not walk her down the aisle as he does not accept their relationship.

Many have sided with the dad in response, as one person wrote: “She is facing the long term consequences of her own actions. Her actions affected everyone, not just her sister.”

While another said: “She knew what she was doing when she had an affair with her sister’s boyfriend. She made her choice. Despite her actions, you’re upholding your promise from years ago, to provide x amount of funding to the wedding. But you are not required to walk her down the aisle.”
