There is a lot that can be said about dads on wedding days. In honor of their day this Sunday, here is a look at what a few dads have said through their photographs on their children’s biggest days.

They are so happy to see you be yourself on your big day.

Dads are always ready to dance!

Dads on wedding days love a first look with you…remember: They loved you first.

Sometimes the Daddy-Daughter dance is the first of new memories, but it *is* the end of an era to them. You have a whole new dance partner for life.

Your dad will likely be all smiles on your wedding day, from the first look to the walk down the aisle to the dance…

…but really, they just want to see you smile. Your happiness is their happiness.

Dads on wedding days are always so excited to see you in your weddingwear. Even if they don’t say it outloud, they are excited to see you as a bride or groom.

Because of this, they will always be game for one more kiss on your cheek.

Sometimes they will be all jokes (as a dad should be).

And sometimes, they will be super sentimental.

Trust me when I say you will appreciate that sentimentality.

They might only be there in your memory…but they ARE there with you. Always.

Happy Fathers’ Day to all the dads, step-dads, honorary dads, and mommas who pull double duty!
