All through the movie, it portrayed how close Annie was with her father and it was obvious George felt the same way towards her. Hell, I wish that my dad and I could be like that George and Annie. No way. If I ever announced to my father that I was getting married, he would shout for joy and sing Hallelujah. He would then help me pack my things! lol
I've always been a bit of a Daddy's girl, and that's mostly why I love this movie too! It makes me cry from start to finish just seeing how gorgeous Annie and George's relationship is! My father and I don't have the exact same relationship as they do (their father/daughter relationship is very American in my eyes, and I'm from the UK), but we've always got along very well, he was always my model for what a man should be, and I know he will get hugely over emotional at my wedding some day!
Actually, I first watched this movie with my dad, when I was a little girl, and I remember in the scene where Annie tells her parents she's engaged, and George sees her saying it as a tiny girl, I asked my dad 'who's that girl?' (not getting the scene because i was very young, and my dad says 'That's how daddy's always see their daughters. You're always going to be my little girl'
I know it sounds mushy, but it makes me tear up every time!
I had that same relationship with my father as well. This was one of "our" movies that we would watch together, and it even featured our song "The Way You Look Tonight." I was always a daddy's girl, and this movie will always have a special place in my heart.
But since his death(July 2013) I haven't been able to watch the movie, I tried once, and even with the commentary I could barely make it through without turning into an emotional wreck( I can't even listen to our song anymore), and it's so hard to imagine myself getting married without him walking me down the aisle. Whenever I do decide to get married, my brother has offered to walk me down the aisle. It won't be the same of course, but at least I won't be walking alone.
