Minime

Dear Tiny Wedding Planner,

I love my father, he’s generally a good guy.  He is a little irritating sometimes.  My family, and I include myself in this, rarely discuss emotions and weddings involve emotions.  He thinks spending money on a wedding is a complete waste of time so we have not gotten along well.

Problems are twofold.

1. Should my dad walk me down the aisle? Do I need someone to walk me down the aisle? For stability in outrageous heels perhaps? If he cares not for the way in which I am to be married should he have the honor?

2. Should he be allowed to orate? I worry he will drink too much and that he will say mean or grumpy things that will hurt my feelings or slur his words.

I know I should probably have made up my own mind but I really know not what to do. Please do tell me what you think I should do.
Sincerely,


Dear Anna,
Thank you for your letter.  You should have somebody else walk you down the aisle.  You need someone to walk you down the aisle because you need to hold somebody’s hand.  I would be nervous if I was walking down the aisle and everybody at the wedding was looking at me and I would want someone to walk with me.  Your dad should not walk you down the aisle because your dad says mean things sometimes that hurt your feelings.  He cannot give a speech either because he says mean things and grumpy things sometimes.
From,
Tiny Wedding Planner
