I Paid for Stepdaughter’s Wedding but She Chose Bio Dad to Give Her Away, So I Made Declaration during Toast

A stepfather, who funded his stepdaughter’s wedding after supporting her for 10 years, felt hurt when she chose her biological father to walk her down the aisle. Despite his contributions, including paying for her education and car, his role was diminished—his name was left off invitations, and his guest list was ignored. During the wedding toast, he expressed his feelings, stepping back as host and toasting to the couple’s happiness. Shocked guests stayed silent, and the next day, he learned the father-daughter dance also favored the biological father. After a confrontation, his girlfriend and stepdaughter moved out, leaving him with closure.
