A wedding day is filled with special moments between a father and his daughter — the emotional walk down the aisle, an mhilis (nó greannmhar!) father-daughter dance, the dad’s toast or blessing at the reception. The mother of the groom has her moments, too — who doesn’t love watching the mother-son dance? — but what about the father of the groom? They may not have that all-eyes-on-us moment, but these special men deserve some recognition, freisin. Seo, a few of our favorite photos of grooms and their dads:
