Daddy's Girl

It is a well known fact that it is the responsibility and honor of the bride's father to walk his princess down the aisle, presenting her at the altar to her future husband, and then later sharing a dance. Make sure your father's attire is the same as the rest of the wedding party to insure he looks just as fabulous as your groom and groomsmen!!  From your walk down the aisle to the dance, your wedding day will be filled with sentimental moments between you and your dad. Here are a few My Fabulous Day favorite moments!
