Walking your daughter down the aisle

This is her day.

It's bigger than her birthday or her graduation.

It's the one day she's been planning for years.

Aside from your monetary obligation, your daughter will probably be asking you all kinds of questions over the months it takes to plan and budget a wedding.

She may be giving you a list of things to do for her wedding. If she does give you a list, try only to do the things on the list and not to become involved in any other areas.

A side note: You may also want to brush up for your first dance with your daughter at her wedding.

As a parent you know how to handle her questions and her stress. Here are some pointers of things to come that could help know what will be expected of you in the months leading up to the wedding

Before the Wedding
 - Offer to help plan any part of the wedding and/or honeymoon
 - Attend the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner
 - At the rehearsal dinner, present a toast to the groom

The Wedding Day - The Ceremony
 - Travel to the ceremony with your daughter
 - Walk your daughter down the aisle
 - Attend the photo shoot

The Wedding Day - The Reception
 - You and your daughter’s mother are the official hosts of the reception
 - Stand in the receiving line beside your daughter
 - Mingle with guests and thank them for coming
 - Make a short toast to welcome the guests

Present a speech
 - Dance with the mother of your daughter during the official “first dance”
 - Dance with your daughter
 - Bid farewell to the departing guests
 - You are traditionally the last person to leave the reception
