- So, my fiance' and I are getting
ready to get married soon.
But, my dad passed away when I was 18
and his family wants to have a formal wedding.
And I just want to elope and get it over with.
I don't want to go through walking down the aisle by myself
or not having a father-daughter dance
like all my other friends do.
Am I being unfair to him?
- Well, not really its your day.
Everybody got to understand your feelings about your loss.
But, weddings are done different nowadays.
Why don't you just do it a little bit different?
How 'bout this?
How 'bout y'all walk down the aisle together?

That way you still get a wedding.
You don't have to just go elope
because you had this thing that happened in your past.

and you want to get married.
