A wedding day is filled with special moments between a father and his daughter — the emotional walk down the aisle, the sweet (or funny!) father-daughter dance, the dad’s toast or blessing at the reception. The mother of the groom has her moments, too — who doesn’t love watching the mother-son dance? — but what about the father of the groom? They may not have that all-eyes-on-us moment, but these special men deserve some recognition, too. Here, a few of our favorite photos of grooms and their dads:

The relationship between a groom and his father-in-law is so important to the bride; she wants her dad to love her chosen one just as much as she does, after all.

And sometimes, the groom himself is the most important father in the room. Here, a precious shot of a dad with his son:
