Letter To My Daughter On Her Wedding Day From Dad

Dear [daughter’s name],

Today is a day of celebration. You’ve found someone who loves you and will be your partner for life, and we couldn’t be more excited for you.

I know that this is an overwhelming day for you, so I’ll keep this letter short. But I also want to let you know that I’m thinking about you and how much joy this day holds for me. My wish for you on this special occasion is that you will always be surrounded by love and happiness in your marriage. May your lives together be filled with joy and laughter and may our family grow in the coming years.

Love always,

Dad

Dear [daughter’s name],

I know we’ve been through a lot together and you’ve grown up to be an amazing woman. I’m so proud of you, and I want to thank you for letting me be part of your life.

I know there are lots of things that make up a family: blood, love, and shared experiences. But being a parent also means knowing that your kids will always be there for you and that you’ll always be there for them. That’s what makes a family and it’s something we share with each other as parents and children.

I love all of the memories we’ve made over the years, but today is my favorite one yet: seeing how happy you are, knowing that this kind of happiness is something that lasts forever. The way you look at [spouse’s name] makes me feel like everything is going to work out just fine and it gives me hope for the future.

Dear [daughter’s name],

On this day, I want to tell you how proud I am of you. You’ve done so much in your life, you’ve been an incredible daughter, a wonderful friend, and an excellent student. Now, as you enter into this new chapter of your life, with [groom’s name] by your side, I know that you will continue to be all those things and more. You’re about to embark on the first day of a shared journey with someone who loves you deeply, and I can’t wait to see how that love takes shape as you two grow together.

I’m so glad that we were able to get together for dinner last week before your big day,  It was great to talk about all the amazing things that are happening in our family right now and it was especially fun to hear about some of the funny stories from when your brother was growing up (like the time he tried to recreate a scene from Lord of The Rings with his Legos). He seemed so happy when we talked about them together.

Dear [daughter’s name],

Today is the day you’ve been waiting for. It’s your wedding day, and there is no one else who deserves it more than you. You are kind and loving, hard-working and passionate about everything you do. You’re also beautiful inside and out and that’s why I’m so happy to see you getting married to [bridegroom’s name].

[Bridegroom’s name] is a lucky man to have found someone like you, who brings so much joy into his life. I know he will be a good husband for you, and will support you no matter what life throws at him together. He’ll always be there for you when times get tough, because he knows how important family is to both of us. And he’ll always be there for our family as well, which means he’ll be by your side through all the ups and downs of life, just like we have been these past 20 years.

So today on this beautiful day of your wedding, I want to congratulate both of you on finding each other, and wish each of you great happiness in your future together.

Dear Daughter,

Today is a day that I have been waiting for since the moment you were born. You have grown into a beautiful young woman, and it is time for you to share your life with another person. You deserve to be happy, and I will always support you in any way I can.

I hope that today brings you all of the joy and happiness that this world has to offer. May your life be filled with love, laughter, and good health.

Love Always

Darling daughter,

You are the light of my life. You make me feel like I am the luckiest man in the world. Every day I wake up and think about how lucky I am to have you as my daughter.

I didn’t get to see much of you growing up, but now that you’re grown up, we’ve spent so many amazing moments together. And today is another one of those days that I will cherish forever.

You are such a beautiful bride and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful daughter. You look so beautiful today, and it makes me so happy to see you looking so happy today, Your smile alone makes my heart skip a beat.

I couldn’t be prouder of you or happier for all your accomplishments in life. You’ve done so much with your life already, but today is another great milestone for us both (and for our family). We are so excited for this new journey together.

Dear [daughter’s name],

I’m so happy you’re getting married today. I know you’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, and I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you walk down that aisle.

There are so many things I want to say to you today, but most of them are going to have to wait until later, when we’re together and get some quiet time. So for now, I’ll just say this:

You will always be my little girl even when you’re my big girl! And even though it seems like only yesterday that you were sitting in my lap, reading me bedtime stories at night, or running around the house yelling “Dad! Dad!” while I was trying to work on the computer,  Now here we are. Getting married! It’s pretty amazing when something like this happens (and if it’s not amazing yet, it will be soon).

But here’s what I want to tell you right now: You are strong and capable. You have always had a deep sense of who you are and what is important to you and that’s never going.

Dear [daughter’s name],

Today is a day of joy and celebration. You are marrying the love of your life, and I couldn’t be more excited for you. I know that you’ve been waiting for this day since you were a little girl, and it seems like it’s finally here.

I’m so happy that you found someone who makes you as happy as [husband’s name] does. He’s such a kind person, and he clearly adores you. It’s clear that the two of you were made for each other.

I want to thank you for being such an amazing daughter. You’ve always been there for us when we needed you, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Thank you for being such a strong woman with such good values, it makes me proud every day to see how well-rounded you are.

You’ve grown into an incredible woman who will undoubtedly make your family proud today, tomorrow, and always.

Dear [daughter’s name],

Congratulations on your wedding day, I’m so happy for you, and I can’t wait to see how you look in your dress.

You know what? You remind me a lot of your mom. She was always so kind, and she never forgot to say thank you or please. And she loved her family more than anything else in the world and that included me, even though we argue sometimes (like any good mother/son relationship). But she always knew what was important: family.

That’s why I hope that one day, when you’re married and have children of your own, you’ll remember to show them how much they mean to you every single day. Because it’s easy to get caught up in life and forget how lucky we are just to be here on this earth together. And it’s so important not only that we show our love for each other every day but also that we show it for others who need help whether that means giving money or volunteering at a soup kitchen or even just saying hello when someone looks sad.

Dear [daughter]

I know you’re probably not reading this, but I wanted to write it anyway. You’re getting married today and I wanted to let you know how proud I am of you for taking this step into adulthood with someone who clearly loves you. Even though you’ve been an adult for a long time, I’m still your dad and I’ll always be here for you.

There’s no one else in the world like you, you’re the best version of yourself that anyone could ever hope to be. You are kind and compassionate and honest, even when it’s hard, which is why we love you so much. We know that when you find someone who makes a promise to love and honor, they’ll keep that promise forever because they love you too. We couldn’t have picked a better man than [groom] to be your husband today, he’s such a great guy.

You’re going to have an amazing life together (and we’ll be here every step of the way). We can’t wait to see what kind of changes come next.

Dear [daughter],

Today is the day you’ve been waiting for, and I’m so excited for you. You know how much I love you, but today is a day that goes beyond just love, it’s a day of celebration.

I remember when we were kids, and you would always be the one who was crying because your mom and I were getting ready to go out without you. I feel like my heart was breaking then, because I knew what it felt like to want something so badly and not get it. But now that I look back on it, those times were the best because they made me feel closer to you and your mom.

So today is our day,  It’s my favorite day of all time, the day when my two favorite people in the world get married (and make me an uncle). And as much as this means for all of us as a family unit together forever more… It also means something special for each one of us individually. You are about to embark on a journey with someone who will love you unconditionally for the rest of your life, which means that now is the time for you to do whatever makes you happy, Go out there and live life,  Have fun, Take risks.

Dear [daughter’s name],

Today is a day that I have been waiting for since the moment you were born. The day when my little girl would grow up and become a woman. The day when she would find love and get married. And now that it’s finally here, I’m so proud of you!

I know that this day was a long time coming, you met your husband-to-be years ago, and together you’ve had many experiences that have brought you to this point in your life. And now, he is your husband and you are his wife.

I want to tell you that I am so happy for you! You’ve found someone who loves you just as much as I do and even though I will never be able to replace him in your heart, knowing that he is out there somewhere makes me feel better about not being around anymore.

Congratulations on making such an important decision in your life! Now be happy with each other and don’t forget about us when you’re busy planning your wedding reception or honeymoon trip.

Love always, Daddy
