Father of the bride forgets his own daughter in wedding-day ‘fumble’
A father of the bride accidentally left his daughter at the back of the aisle on her wedding day.
Neil Crossley is the 60-year-old dad of daughter Amy Totty, who recently got married in Yorkshire, England.
The father of the bride accidentally had a standout moment during the big day as he started walking down the aisle toward the altar — without the bride.

In what ended up being a moment of miscommunication between the father of the bride and the event staff, Crossley was stopped about halfway down the aisle by staff and told he needed to go back to walk with his daughter.
The moment, caught on camera, had guests at the wedding laughing as Crossley turned around and walked back to escort the bride.

He told SWNS that the “initial fumble” was funny to everyone in the room, and that he was even able to joke about it in his father-of-the-bride speech at the wedding reception.
