A DADS SPEECH AT HIS DAUGHTERS WEDDING---- I thought I would start my speech by addressing you as the new family of my daughter. But I think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married, you are the family for her. Believe me I dont have any problem with that. I, in fact, want my daughter to have you as her priority now. Its time for us to take a backseat in her life. We would happily accept it but we would surely request one thing- please keep her happy! I am more than sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps be happier than what she used to be here. But like all fathers, I obsess over my daughters happiness which is making me say this over and over again- please keep her happy! She never was and will never be a burden for me. She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I am getting her married because this is what law of nature demands. I am helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home. She was the happiness of my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my world to you. Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving my princess to you. Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect. For all the care, love, beauty and warmth my daughter will bring to your lives, I just want her happiness in return- please keep her happy! If at times you feel my daughter has said or done something wrong feel free to scold her. But her with love. She is very fragile. If at times she feels low, be with her. She needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick, show her your care. Its the medicine that works for her. If at times she fails to fulfil a responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathise with her. She is still learning. Do understand her- please keep her happy! I dont mind if I dont get to see her for months. I dont mind if I am not able to talk to her on daily basis. I would be more than happy if she doesnt remember me much. But, my only motive in life has been my daughters happiness which is now in your hands. I beg you, please keep her happy. Dear son-in-law these words may not mean much to you now but if you are lucky enough to father a daughter someday, you will appreciate them better when you will find every beat of your heart shouting- please keep her happy!
