My then husband and I created our own ceremony. I had both my parents
stand for/ with me, there was no "walking down the aisle" or " giving
away". Both parents worked throughout my life, both raised me. My
husband and I paid for our wedding --- I cashed in stock to cover
it-- we were both multi-degreed, well traveled adults with careers so
the "traditional" didn't fit for us.
I don't know your circumstance, religion or tradition, but from the
fact you say "his" daughter, then perhaps this is a blended family?
Perhaps there are many other issues for the daughter?
Perhaps it's not about rejection, but about redefinition. Again, I
don't know your circumstance, but for
a number of women, including me, there is much about the
"traditional" wedding that did not reflect my life, lessons, values
or beliefs.
This is the moment for the daughter to define her new life, her
relationships and how she wants
them to be.

To My TM Family,
I need your support today. Right now I am trying to help my husband
deal with his daughter not
wanting him to walk her down the aisle. He is devastated! My heart
bleeds for him.
I will have to continue to pray for the situation. Please pray for
our family ... it is on the verge of never being the same again.
Catherine
