As a father of two daughters, I completely get what he means. No matter how old or famous you are, that moment hits you differently. Ethan seems like a genuine guy - nice to see Hollywood stars talking about family values. Stranger Things cast attending makes it even more special!

It's sweet but honestly, I find it a bit odd that they're sharing such intimate wedding details publicly. Some things should remain private, no? Still, happy for Maya and Christian - she seems like a grounded young woman despite her famous parents.

The way Ethan describes feeling like he was 13 again - absolutely poetic! 🥺 This is such a universal father-daughter bond moment. Also, Maya's wedding look with that feathery coat is so unique and elegant. Hope the newlyweds have a beautiful life together!

It's nice to see a celebrity dad so emotionally invested. In our Indian culture, we often see weddings as big social events with lots of pressure. Ethan's genuine joy reminds us what truly matters - the love between family members. Kudos to him for being so open! 🙏

Not a huge fan of Ethan Hawke's movies but this speaks well of him as a father. Uma Thurman was also there - that must have been interesting considering their past relationship. But for their daughter's sake, I'm glad they came together. Family first always.
