Take Care of Her
I attended a female coworker’s wedding. She and the groom were both very young (teenagers) and very religious.
The father walks the bride down the aisle, and it looks like we’re in for a beautiful ceremony. But once they arrive next to the groom, the father proceeds to give the groom a lecture on how he will now be responsible for the spiritual well being of the bride. How he (the father) has been her “spiritual leader” her whole life up to now, but the groom is taking over.
While giving this speech, the father managed to strike a terrifying figure, one of those, “You take care of my daughter or I will kill you” types, only the message was “If my daughter falls off her Christian path, I’m coming after you, buddy.” The groom began to sob as he was being lectured, and it could not have been more awkward for the entire congregation.
We watched the father dress down the groom, speak as if the bride had no control over her own life, and cause the poor boy to spend the rest of his wedding red-eyed and runny-nosed.
