About the Movie
He asked for her hand. Dad made him go toe-to-toe.

She won’t marry without her dad’s blessing. He’s not ready to give it. Then her boyfriend shows up uninvited on the family vacation.

As a dad of four daughters, I thought I knew this story. Then I walked my oldest daughter down the aisle, and it got a lot more personal. That experience changed how I wrote So You Want to Marry My Daughter—a comedy about a protective dad learning to let go and trust God.

—Seth Himes, Filmmaker
