'Her stance seems extreme to me': Domineering Dad Refuses to Pay for Daughter's Wedding Because She Won't Let Him Give Her Away

Personally, I'm skeptical at the idea of getting married. There are many reasons for this, and one of them lies in the stress of wedding planning. Don't get me wrong, I adore being a wedding guest. When it's your turn, though, there is so much pressure to appease yourself and everyone else that it often becomes more of a headache than it's worth.

One issue I have with weddings is that the meaning behind the traditions can be pretty misogynistic. Wearing white to symbolize your (usually pretend) virginity is icky. Also, while I would want my dad to be an active part of my wedding if I had one, I wouldn't want to be treated like his property by being given away at the altar.

This is an issue one man and his daughter have come up against. The teenage bride-to-be disagrees with the concept of being given away, and in response, her dad is refusing to help fund the nuptials. Complaining about his predicament to Reddit, the stubborn father received a mix of opinions on the issue. Perhaps there isn't an easy answer to this one.
