My father is getting married in June 2007. They are having a big formal wedding. He has been with her for about 18 years. . My issue is that I am not sure my role in anything. Is there anything I should be doing. And what about a speech. I have searched all over online and find nothing about a 27 year old womans father getting married
There are no daughter of the groom shirts, speeches, etc.
Any suggestions would be awesome

There are no rules to follow, if you get along with both your dad and his fiance let them know you would like to play a part. Ask them what they envision. Perhaps you could prepare a toast. Or ask to dance with your dad. It's really up to them.

My guess is if you haven't been asked for anything your role is very much that of an observer. If you have had this woman in your life I'm sure there a re a few stories you may have like how she put up with you in your wild years etc. Do something special that recognizes the special bond you have formed after the last 18 years and how much you appreciate that she has made it through everything you and your siblings could put her Thur and how happy you are to know she will be there to watch out for your old man. If you really want a daughter of the bride t shirt go get one made. I would probably ask your new mom if there is anyway you can help her out your dad is a man and they usually don't have a full grasp of what goes into these type of deals. Please stop looking for an on line speech my maid of Honor based her speech to me on one and it was great until a CSI episode about a murdered mother of a bride and the bridesmaids reason for doing her in was almost the same as the toast I received (actually its kind of a funny coincidence but still it upset my mom ).

Typically, there is no role that you have. If you were your father's son, he probably would have asked you to be one of his groomsmen, however, since you are his daughter (and I'm assuming his only daughter), then out of courtesy, the bride to be really should have asked you to be in her wedding party, then you would have had a role in the wedding. As for speeches, you certainly can say something well wishing to your father and new stepmother. The right time is after the bestman gives his speech.

um there's the father/daughter dance....so just make sure you're there for that!! wait..is that only for the daughters wedding? I don't know. ask him if he's doing that.
other than that dance I don't know...you could always say a little speech about welcoming her into the family and how glad you are for her to be your step mother. but since they've been together 18 years Im sure you've looked at her as a mother since you were a teen....so that doesn't really work.
talk to your dad and ask him if there's anything he'd like you to so and ask your step mother to be as well...
just remember it's their day not yours so don't step on any toes with anything!

How about starting off making it into a joke that your dad wanted to make sure your step mom was the right women he wanted in his life. It only took 18 years for him to decide that she was the one. LOL! Then talk about how your dad and future step mom were there for you in your life and you are there for them in there decision to get married and finally wish them there happiness .
The speech is something simple.

you do no longer say her age yet in my age variety (50 +/_ 10 years) in basic terms having 50 fanatics ought to easily positioned you on the low end. i comprehend girls my age with below 10 yet I additionally comprehend ones that suitable one hundred. The style of companions isn't what i might designate as what makes a woman a "ho" yet her character in how and who she is doing. even in spite of the shown fact that she could be a gold digger such as you think of, supply her a great gamble to a minimum of be well mannered to you and additionally you be well mannered to her. you do no longer might desire to be her perfect pal, in basic terms friendly for Dad's sake. Her actual colorings will prepare out over the years. stable good fortune and permit's wish there is no longer a style 6!

Why don't you ask your dad or his fiance' if there is anything they would like you to do? This will put everything at ease for all of you. Also, speeches are completly up to you... if you feel inspired to give one, do so, if not, just enjoy the toast. (I might have something simple planned just in case... Like after so many years, I am so happy to see you take that leap, welcome officially to the family.. or something.

you better ask your father what is really expected of you and then start searching speeches, etc.
