My little girl got married yesterday afternoon. I made it thru my father daughter speech and halfway thru the father daughter dance before I cried. I know it sounds like I am ten ply soft but I challenge any father with a daughter to not shed a tear in that situation.
I'm a softy ( go figure?) I cried at me and my wife's wedding because I was so happy, and she was so beautiful in her wedding dress. I don't have a daughter, but I know I'd be crying. Congratulations to you and the family! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It was my little girls wedding cut me some slack. I was actually surprised I made it thru my speech, the days leading up to the wedding when I was coming up with what I was going to say it was hard not to get emotional. The father daughter dance was to Paul Simons father daughter song. When I brought her to college 5 years ago I sent her a You tube link to her college email to the song. At the time she never said anything about it. 2 weeks ago she texted me what song I wanted for the dance, I replied right away because I knew I wanted that song, she texted back I figured you did because of the video you sent me when I was a freshman. Like I said a little girl can her dad melt.
This is how I used to think of Sota. And NOW.............. Congrats Sota. Thats a special day I will never have and Im jealous.
Congrats Sota. I cried at my daughter's wedding, and during the speech, and during the dance. It just means you love her and are happy for her. Just wait till they hand you your first grandchild! Did you use the joke in the speech?
No I decided to go a different route, no joke. I saved a card my daughter made for me when she was 4. I stated what was written in the card amounted to being a binding contract, it was written by my daughters hand, it was witnessed by her mother and not under duress evident by the heart she drew next to her signature. The card pretty much said I will not always be little but I will always be your little girl.
As a father of a daughter, I can imagine that I will be shedding some tears in the years to come. I vividly remember when she was born and we found out that it was a girl. It was like her whole life flashed before my eyes and I realized how big of a deal it is to be a father to a daughter. Glad that she got to see how much you care for her and she certainly will always be Daddy's girl...
Thanks Fitz. I know that you are a parent of a young one I always tell a new parent that you will not believe how fast your kids grow up. It seems like you blink they are teenagers and that the process speeds up at that point until before you know it they are grown.
