When Lily was five, I held onto the back of her bike seat in the school car park for two straight hours one Saturday morning while she shouted 'don't let go!' every few seconds. I let go anyway, eventually, without telling her. She rode thirty feet before she noticed, and then she was furious and proud in exactly the same breath.
That's more or less how it's gone ever since. Lily has always wanted a hand to hold — right up until the moment she realizes she doesn't need it, and by then she's already off ahead of me, long before I've managed to tell her she can.
A little while ago I walked her into the entrance hall, ready to give her away, for lack of a better phrase — because that's not really how it feels. It feels more like letting go of the handlebars all over again. I know she can do this. I've known it for a long time. But it isn't any easier today than it was in that car park.

The father's speech to the bride is one of the most emotional moments of the wedding day. It's the moment when the whole room holds its breath – and your words can move everyone to tears and smiles.
Start with a specific memory. Her first day at school, the time she surprised you, the moment you realised she was no longer your little girl.
Speak directly to your daughter. Look her in the eyes and say what you might never say on an ordinary day: that you're proud, that you love her, that she's the best thing in your life.
Welcome the groom into the family. It's an important gesture showing that you're opening your heart and home to a new person.
Remember: it's okay to get emotional. A father shedding a tear shows the words come from the heart. Practise beforehand so you feel confident, but allow yourself to feel in the moment.
A father typically shares a personal childhood memory, expresses pride, welcomes the groom into the family and finishes with loving wishes and a toast.
The father's speech is typically early in the order – often the first speech during dinner.
3-5 minutes is ideal. Enough to say something meaningful without dragging on.
