As you may recall I mentioned that my daughter would
be getting married last Saturday. I also mentioned
that it would be the last time that I would be wearing
a suit and male cloths for that matter.
Well that day couldn't have been more perfect. The
weather was great, the ceremony, and reception went
off without a hitch, and the food and entertainment
was the best. Despite being in male mode, it was
truly one of the happiest days of my life.
Now the next big step is for me to come out to my
daughter, before she finds out by accident. More and
more people know about Stephanie and I don't want her
to find out by accident. My wife and I decided to
wait until after the wedding to tell her as we didn't
want to spoil any thing. I'll keep you posted on how
it goes.

steph,
i expect that your daughter already knows that you are lovely, so i wouldn't freak out too much, she likely will take it well, just let the announcement find its natural time; i have told all the people i had to, including some i only know slightly, because it was necessary, but only about 1/2 my friends, because the time hasn't come, but it will soon, and i am looking forward to it.
so good luck with that, you have a strong family, and of course you know best what to do, and when.
xxx ooo

Congrtulations, Stephanie! :icon_bunch: I picked these flowers for you and your daughter :)
I'm very happy to hear things were a success and even happier to know your daughter has found her true love.
As Kitten said, just let your disclosure find it's natural time. Depending on the nature of your relationship with your daughter, you may find her to not be surprised at all and even more so, at how smoothly things will go.
Best of luck and let us know how things turn out.
