A FATHER’S DAY

I subscribe to your magazine because, at the age of 43, I enjoy reading about beauty, fashion and health as much as I did 20 years ago! And I appreciate that it’s Canadian and I can actually purchase the products mentioned. I have never written to a magazine before, but after reading “Dress Code” by Marilisa Racco, I had to. When the author described the honour of having her father walk her down the aisle at her wedding as an “antiquated rite” and said that she wasn’t “wild about the idea” because she viewed it as “being passed from one man to another,” it made me so angry. There are many of us who never had the chance—my dad passed away when I was 20. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I walked myself down the aisle at my wedding. This article demonstrates a strong lack of compassion. Kristine Bell, Calgary
