@wedding_magazine_russia A wedding is one of the key events in the life of every person. But it is such not only for newlyweds. To create a happy family, the bride and groom need the blessing of the people who gave them life - their parents. Many people are interested in the question of congratulating a father at his daughter’s wedding - what should be emphasized and what is better not to say in a congratulation.
Father's responsibilities at a wedding
The father, like the mother, plays a significant role in the daughter’s life. As for the wedding, he can take on a significant part of the organizational and financial issues.
The father has the responsibility of moral support for his daughter and blessing the groom.
In many families, it is customary to support the newlyweds in preparation for this festive event. First of all, this is financial assistance, and if the young people cannot cope, finding a place, a leader and other organizational issues.
On the wedding day, dad must conduct a blessing ceremony, and can also help in maintaining the schedule of all key events and seating the guests in the reception hall.
But the main task awaits from the moment the celebration begins - giving a speech to the father at his daughter’s wedding. Since dad makes the very first toast, his words and sincerity influence the further mood of everyone present.
Also, due attention should be paid to the preparation of the father-daughter dance.
Rite of blessing
Despite the fact that the blessing ceremony is not mandatory, newlyweds continue to support this tradition. It occurs after the bride is bought by the groom at her home. The only condition is that the young people and parents must be baptized.
During the blessing, the bride and groom kneel. Parents take with towels the icons of Christ the Savior for the young man and the Mother of God for the young man. When giving a parting speech, parents must baptize their children three times.
Parting words
The main thing in the speech is the sincerity of what is desired for the future family. The main attention should be paid to what accompanies family happiness and home comfort.
Example of parting words:
“Dear newlyweds! Advice and love to you! You have made an important and wonderful decision in your life - to build a family. We wish you love, patience, great happiness. May you be able to create home comfort and share the brightest emotions and feelings. And may there always be a place for care, understanding and children’s laughter in your home.”

Wedding congratulations from parents in prose
Dear children!
You are standing on the threshold of a new life together, in which there will be everything: joy and sorrow, good luck and disappointment. And the reason for everything is love. Love is always patient, not jealous, not boastful, not vain, does not act basely, does not seek personal interests, is not irritated, does not remember evil, does not rejoice at injustice, but delights in the truth. Love always forgives, believes everything, always waits and endures everything. Love never gives up. Let these words always be present in your marriage and become its foundation. And may your love grow and prosper every year. Endless congratulations. Our dear, dear, beloved children, we congratulate you on your wedding day.
