Most brides have their father or another close family member walk them down the aisle to wed their new husband. However, one furious bride-to-be was told by her fiancé to ''look for someone else'' to fill the sentimental role because he doesn't want her dad to be play such a significant part in their wedding day, the Mirror reports.
The woman who claims to be on ''great terms'' with her father said her fiancé dislikes him because of a range of disagreements they've had in the past including his issue with the fact her dad refused to contribute any cost towards their big day. The bride doesn't consider her father's lack of financial support to be an issue as she claims they can comfortably afford their wedding themselves but her bitter husband to be says that her dad ''should be grateful he's still invited''.
In a post on Reddit, she claimed: "My fiancé and I have been together for over two years. I don't have a big family, just my dad and my older sister. My dad has always been a single parent devoting his life to me and my sister and working over 14 jobs in the past 6 years to provide for us.
''I love my dad and we have the best relationship anyone could hope for. However, my fiancé does not get along with him. They have different opinions on so many things. For example, my fiancé one time suggested to my dad to sell the truck he has because it's been sitting [on his drive] for years.
''My dad got offended because this is my grandfather's truck and he has no money to get it fixed. Their recent disagreement was when my dad refused to give my fiancé money to contribute to the wedding.
''My fiancé complained but I said that my dad isn't obligated to pay for the wedding. Yesterday, my fiancé told me to look for 'someone else' to walk me down the aisle and asked why.
''He said that my dad refused to help with the wedding and he should be grateful he's still invited. I got upset and argued that for one, my dad refused to contribute because he has no money, he can not afford to pay. And two, just like any bride, I want my dad to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day.
''He threw a fit saying that I was trying to ruin his mood and get him upset on our wedding day but I called him selfish for wanting to take away the moment I always dreamed of over his disagreements with dad. It's not fair given that me and my dad are on great terms.
''He yelled at me for calling him selfish because it's our wedding not just mine and said that I clearly don't give a hoot if he's uncomfortable then walked out. He's fuming and is insisting I'm being inconsiderate and projecting on him when I called him selfish."
Commenters on the post urged the woman to think about whether going ahead with the wedding is a good idea, especially as her fiancé is showing several signs of "red flags" with his behaviour. One person said: "Every one of the 'disagreements' you listed sounds like your fiancé being a jerk and your dad doing nothing wrong. And now your fiancé is trying to prevent you from having an important moment with your father on your wedding day because of petty nonsense. Your fiancé sounds a lot worse than selfish to me."
While another added: "Why the f**k are you marrying this guy? He doesn’t get along with your only parent for stupid reasons. You can find someone who treats you and your family nicely, so do it. Marrying this guy would be the biggest mistake of your life."
And a third wrote: "Think carefully before marrying someone who wants to alienate you from your father on the most important day of your life. These are red flags."
