I have 3 great daughters and the youngest is the last to get married, which is going to be very hard for me. She has been away from home since going off to college but came home often to be with me especially was special as I was trying to survive a cheating wife who I chose to divorce which was so hard but that little girl was there for dad. She loved showing pigs at the fairs and loved FFA in high school but is not marrying a farmer but he is a really great guy.
 
You have done something great, if, when you look at your children and feel proud of them.
 
For those that chose to have children, life changes at that point and their happiness and well being move to the head of the line or priorities. She made it, you helped get her there. Congratulations to you, and congratulations especially to her. Give her a big hug from all of us and wish her our best. And one last thing. Now that you're officially an empty nester, tomorrow go out scouting for an old tractor to take in and work on, maybe restore.

Dave you have had a rough time of it in the last year or so. Look at the other side of your daughter getting married. If she has done a good job of choosing her mate them you will gain another good person in your family. I have five kids and all of them are married so I now have ten kids. LOL

So Dad cry a few tears of joy when you walk her down that isle. Then celebrate your "new" family.
 
Congratulations to the bride & groom... and to you! Just remember you are not losing your daughter, you are gaining a "son". (But hey, we both got teary eyed at our daughter's wedding.)

I saw a plaque I really liked at a store - so I replicated it so I can hang it up at home. Thought is contained a bit of wisdom:

Good friend of mine had three daughters. When the youngest one got married. We just about put him in the hospital. His little girl was starting a new life. Couldn't be around as much anymore. But she brought him three great grandkids and a great son in law. Hope your daughter does the same.
 
Congrats on the wedding.
Grin I hope it wasnt like my fathers wedding, shotgun type, Mom was 6 months pregnant at the wedding. LOL Mind you, that was 1956.
 
After you watch the video I linked below, if theres any Kleenex left watch this with your daughter........

Congrats and condolences Dave,
I'm "kinda" learning to know how you feel! Our little (and only) girl started college last year and is home this summer but likes her freedom and I don't get to see her as much as I would like.
Guess like SweetFeet says Roots and Wings make a good beginning.
Purty sure glennster might chime in!
Yer phreind,
Jim
 
Your story made me get a little misty-eyed, myself. I truly am blessed with a great wife and two wonderful kids.

God's blessings to you and the new couple.

I like the project tractor idea.
 
Congratulations, mine got married 2 weeks ago today, was kind of tuff giving her away.
 
Congratulations Dad. I went through that two times my self. The youngest was the last to leave. It was kind of hard all right. Stan
 
Kruser your turn is coming and it happens sooner than you think. Its always great when your daughter at their age still choose to do things with us and enjoy going places with us old guys.
 
It's very hard to let go, especially in your situation. We have the feeling we are giving up control of our child and now she is in someone else's hands. I sang for my daughter's wedding. We stood face to face in front of everyone and I sang to her, I wasn't emotional because of the nerves but she couldn't look at me for fear of breaking down. It is a special time.
 
Speaking from the other side of the aisle(we have three sons), I have three far better daughters than I'd have if I tried to raise them. They married very well, three great women.
