The night before I got married, he told me that from the day I was born he loved me and thanked God for giving him a beautiful daughter. That he was proud of the woman I had become and that he had mixed emotions about giving me up, but mainly he wanted me to have a good marriage.

Then a few ground rules to remember, don't try to change my husband, I fell in love with him just as he is .
Love my parents, but love him more.
Don't be daddy's cute little girl with him. He needs a wife, not a princess.
Don't close the lines of communication.

I can't remember all of it, but it must have been good advice, we.re still very happy.
Good luck and and congratulations on your new family member.

Tell her to be happy. Tell her of all the good things that life will have to offer her down the line - home ,children and such. Remind her that you are gaining a son and not losing a daughter.
She needs to know that you will always be there for her but not ever in the middle of it. Let her know that you are always just a hug away and that everything will work out no matter how things seem to pile up. As somebody said before....be happy, don't worry !

I don't think the fatherly advice is as important as you letting her know that although she is about to step into a new dimension of her life - that you will always be there for her. Let her know that just as she has grown so has your love for her grown. Let her know how proud you are of her and the things that she has accomplished in her life and the things she has yet to accomplish. My father was never able to express himself affectionately through word or deed and I know it would have meant the world to me if he could have told me what was in his heart - tell your daughter what is in yours.

Tell her you want her to be happy, and that marriage is something that you have to work at that you have to learn to give and take. That she will have rough times and not to give up as all marriages go thru bad times, hang in there and stay faithful and strong, don't give up easily, never go to bed angry with each other, say I'm sorry when you are at fault, and always remember saying I love you can mend alot of quarrels.

Tell her above all to BE HAPPY. You must truly love her and must tell her never to forget that. You, like her Husband will always be there for her.
OK, I know there are some sick bastards out there....so like her Husband not with her husband or any sexual way!!!!

now that being said. I always tell my daughter that I Love her and how proud I am of her and how truly blessed I am to have her. and she'll ALWAYS be daddy's little girl

this probably isn't what you are looking for, but I will remember it forever. When I was walking down the aisle with my father he said, "you look beautiful." I said thank you and we kept walking then he turns to me and says,"Keep your hand over it." I started to laugh and rolled my eyes, this was so my dad. It broke up the tension and stress. I love my daddy.

tell her that shell always be your little girl, youve watched her grow up all these years and she means the world to you. tell her if she ever needs anythign, youll be there for her. tell her how proud you are of her and how great of a man shes found. but most of all dont forget to tell her I LOVE YOU.

Show her how you feel as well as telling her and her husband to be. Let them know you will always be there.
