It's also when they get a rather large bill for the service and wedding and catering and everything else.
Weddings at least on a big scale cost a LOT of money. And literally there are investment plans that fathers make for their daughters weddings in certain cases.

It has nothing to do with money., or at least very little. It is an issue, but it's not why they dread the day itself.
It has to do with knowing that his daughter is making a new life with a new family.
It has to do with time. He now has to share his time. No matter how you look at it., the daughter will not need him as much, nor will the communication be as much as it used to be.
I'm sure many fathers dread their daughters wedding day also because they know she's marrying a completel moron.
And last but not least., not all men dread the day their daughter gets married. I'm sure there's many who are happy for their daughter(s).
On the lighter side.. it could also be that he's jealous some guy is getting a dam good lookin girl and he's stuck with a fat ugly old hag ;) j/k

honestly they really don't dread the day they are just sad because they are letting go and letting another man take of their job of caring for their baby girl. Men are always protective over women but after they have been with someone long enough to have a daughter that is getting married they really aren't all that protective over their wives anymore and have come to be more protective over their daughters. Once their daughters go off and get married they have no one to be protective over anymore and feel like they are loosing all control and responsibility. they are happy to see that their daughter is doing well and going some where with her life they really aren't dreading it.

I think it is because up to this point Dad has really been the only man in her life that she really counted on and loved. Now you have got to watch her give all of that love to some other guy and you really don't know if she can really depend on him the way that you KNOW your girl can depend on you. But take heart, you have obviously loved her well. Hopefully, she has held this new guy to high standards based on how good you have been to her. Also, I think it is the financial obligation. All of that money you pay if she is not paying for her own wedding and no matter how much you shell out, you may not be sure that she has the wedding of her "dreams".

They dont dread their daughters wedding day but they never want there little girl to grow up .
I remember the first time my daughter went to play with another child and how I felt.I loved her so much and the thought of her not wanting to be with her dad was hard on me
She Is an adult now and I she will always be my little girl and I hope that I did my best for her and that she knows how much I love her and your dad loves you but the loss Is tough to bear,He loves you and Its unbearable to loose you

Many dads dread that their little daughters will no longer have a need for them. Dads believe that once the daughter is married she will forget about him and won't call or ask for advice. Dads are used to protecting their daughters, and now they know that they no longer have to protect them because that is the husbands job. Hopefully if you are getting married that you will remind your dad that you still need him. Be sure to call often and talk to him. (I'm not sure if you are the bride or not.)

If a father has been close to his daughter -the idea of giving her away to 'another man' can be stressful. It means that his child, whom he has loved and cared for is now to be the wife of another man. He might even be afraid and stressed because he knows this 'man' is having sexual relationships with his child. (remember - the girl child in a family somehow never grows up to her dad). Finally, I was told by my friend that the wedding day reminds him of his own and how nervous he was then - this day is a return to that same nervous place. (smile)

Consider that 25 years ago the "average" wedding cost the parents the minimum of $10,000.00 add to that 25 years of inflation and it is probably close to $50,000.00 nowadays...now you tell me why men dread their daughter's wedding day...
