Default Proud Father

Happy Father's Day - to me!

I was a very proud dad yesterday. My beautiful little girls were the Flower Girls in a wedding yesterday afternoon, and they were SO pretty and SO well behaved! Their mom and I were invited to the wedding as well of course, and we had a nice time.

(I have to admit that I felt a little awkward there - this huge celebration of marriage 'between a man and a woman' with over 100 other 'heterosexual' couples there, and not a sign of a gay person around... but that's for another thread! )

Here's a picture of the little princesses:

Well, there's nothing wrong with you going to a wedding.
Good to hear you've taught them how to behave. Too many little bastards running around with no manners. Makes me wanna punt them so bad. Parents seem too relaxed now a days...or they just don't care.

Aww, they look adorable! You're right to be proud, and I'm glad you had a good time.

(I know exactly what you mean- my cousin got married at the beginning of the month and I couldn't count how many times they said 'a man and a woman' and people kept telling me "you'll be getting married before you know it!")

Happy father's day from another father. Unfortunately I did not get to see my "children" (aged 22 and 24) today as they live too far away. Your l'il ones look lovely.

They don't know yet... That 'talk' is scheduled for next weekend. TBH - I'm freaking out a little over all of that. I'll update that thread - maybe it will be theraputic.
