I'm getting married in May and I would like my dad to be happy for me and all but I don't knw how he feels about it or why he want talk about it. In a way I could care less what he thinks b/c it's always negative thinking but I just wish he would be happy for us and know that I will be around and that I'm nt going to leave like my sister did. I just would like to knw why he's nt happy for us and why some other ppl like my soon to be husband's brother who's in the wedding by the way thinks we won't go through with it. How can we prove everyone wrong and really let them know that in May this will happen and we will be so happy with each other.

Well, the only way to prove everyone wrong is to actually go through with it. Once you say the "I do's" it's official, family will either accept it or not.

if your dad has a problem with you getting married, it is his problem, not yours so do not try to fix it maybe he is just miserable by nature, any way do not worry he either will accept it or he won't, but you are an adult, so behave like on let him find a cure for himself and you have a beautiful day no matter what

I tried to find - in that long, rambling question - any statements about whether your boyfriend is working? Is he responsible enough?
If I were your parent, I'd want this boyfriend to be someone who could hold down a job and provide for a family. I would also want for you both to be old enogh to be responsible.

Wrong question. "Your premise is all wrong".
Ask first what he feels, and then why he feels it. Dont tell him what he is feeling and expect him to fit to it.
Try reading "He calls me daddy" to see what goes on in a mans heart when his daughters get married. Its not a small thing, and its certainly not anger. This is deep passionate powerful stuff written in the foundations of his heart and the fundamental wiring of his brain. Dont casually invalidate him.

He will accept it after the wedding. Some people are just that thick and stubborn about it.

Are you young? Maybe he's concerned about how hard it is going to be for you.
