This is a bit of a weird topic... please bear with me!
I've noticed that many traditional weddings feature the father of the bride a bit more... perhaps a lot more... than the mother of the bride. The mother gets walked in, and a pretty corsage, and a place in the program, and that's about it. The father, however, gets to walk the bride down the aisle, give her away, and also gets to take part in the very first / second dance of the evening with the bride.
I don't really have any problems with this as it is. The thing is... I'm not quite Daddy's little girl. My wonderful big sister is (and the relationship they have is very adorable! No jealousy on my end.) In fact, I actually think of myself as Mommy's girl instead. Ever since I went to college, I've been able to bond so well with her, and there are so many things that we share with each other. I tried on her wedding dress back in July, and it fit perfectly... even though I don't plan on wearing it, it was still so special to wear the dress my mother had for her big day. I don't think I'd get quite the feeling from my father's tux.
I love my parents both very much. I couldn't honestly tell you which one I love "more." However, I do know that I feel closer to my mother, and it bothers me a bit because, well, the wedding seems to showcase my father a lot more. I wish there was some way to feature my mother a bit better as a result. My father definitely wants to be the one giving me away, though, and I think some eyebrows would be raised if I did my first dance with my mother....
Does anyone else have the same thoughts or feelings, or am I just off?
