You walk her down the aisle, "give her away", dance with her at the reception and give her all the support you can. Good luck.

Nothing too hard. You'll walk arm in arm down the aisle, at the last row of chairs you'll stop, the minister will ask "Who gives this woman away?" You'll answer, she'll probably kiss you, and then she'll take the hand or her future husband. At the reception, you may make a toast and dance with the bride. There might not be a rehearsal (I spared the expense and just had the minister explain it the day of, and that only covers the ceremony) If you want to know what she's got planned for the reception, ask.

Relax! You are going to be just fine.
There is almost always a rehearsal for a wedding. The coordinator will show you what you need to do, but basically you walk your daughter down the aisle and join her hands with her husband.
As for the reception, ask your daughter what she has planned and what she would like to have you involved in.
Other than that, enjoy the day and the happiness of your daughter and son-in-law!

Just walk her down the aisle and don't forget to let go of her arm at the end.
At the reception, the parents usually make a speech of some kind blessing the union and wishing them good luck.

Easy peasey... at the church you will walk her down the ailse. When you get there the vicar will ask 'who gives this woman to be wed' and you answer 'i do'...end of your job here...
At reception you will just have to give a speach about her and her life and how you are proud to be giving her away to such a nice guy etc... look on the internet for the father of the bride speeches.

You will walk her down the aisle & give her hand to her husband to be. The preacher will ask Who giveth this lady away & you will say I do or I & her mother do. That will be it at the wedding but then at the reception you will give a very sweet small speech. Good Luck & don't sweat it.

You just walk your daughter down to the end of the aisle, kiss her and go sit down. At the reception, you thank everyone for coming and you wish the newlyweds much happiness. You probably also pay the bills???

Its easy, you will accompany her to the church, walk her down the aisle and at the reception you need to do a speech about her. These speeches are available free on the internet too, you just need to modify a little.

leave the shot gun in the trunk,
Just keep this in mind if he treats her and the baby well,
then everything will be OK.
if he is rude and unfriendly kick him to the road.
remember he is your grandchild's father and your Daughters future husband he may turn out to be a very cool man and a great son in law. just enjoy the ride ask your Daughter whats up and what is expected of you good luck we all have been there for sure.

From what I've seen at weddings, the father walks his daughter down the aile, gives her a kiss on thte cheek and lets her go to her soon to be hubby.
Just take a deep breath and smile as you know she will be happy
Hope this helps!

not alot
walk her down the isle and hand her over to her husband to be...
say a speach at the reception.. basically thank everyone for attending and to have a really good evening one that the new married couple can look back on with a smile..
