If your father doesn't shy away from expressing his feelings and getting all emotional with the mere mention of your upcoming Vidaai ceremony, here are some apt Father's Day quotes you must try using on his card:

"Every day since forever, you've forgiven my mistakes. If there is one person I know I can always come back to, it's you. Because you're the strongest pillar of hope, love, and compassion I'll ever know in life. Happy Father's Day papa...and thank you for teaching me through your actions."
"You said, "no gifts, no cards". So, here I am telling you face to face. There hasn't been a single day when you didn't make me feel loved. Not a single moment when you didn't make me feel special. Happy Father's Day, Papa!"
"They say, 'A father doesn’t tell you that he loves you. He shows you.' Thank you for always showing me how much you love and care for me through the little things you do. Happy Father's Day, Appa."
"A daughter's first love, Papa, no words can do justice to the way I feel for you. Thank you for always being there for me, Happy Father's Day."
"You are my everything. Be it fixing my tricycle wheels, or healing my scraped knees, from bringing me ice cream after my first breakup to walking me down the aisle - there can never be another you. Happy Father's Day, Baba."
"For all the times you have picked from school or dropped me at a friend's party. For all the times that you held my hand when I was scared. For all the times when you celebrated my insignificant wins. Happy Father's Day dad, you're my hero."

If any of these Father's Day quotes resonate with you and the bond with your father, make this day special for him. Sometimes, we don't say things out loud or express our deepest emotions, especially to the people who are closest to us. We assume they know. Well, this Father's Day, how about you make a big deal out of it. Say out loud. Or sing a song...exclusively for your Dad. Strengthen your bond by adding a little extra. Bake a cake or cook for him. Show him in your own way how much you respect and appreciate his presence in your life!
