Nice. I hope when I get to that age and give my daughter away that I can speak as truthful and as witty as that.
I'm preparing now
I've got 12 years if I'm lucky. 16 if I'm blessed.
I've got a year, maybe two. My daughter is almost 19 and has been with this guy seriously for a year and a half. They are already talking.
My granddaughters are 12, 9, and 1.
I gave my son in law a t-shirt that says: Guns don't kill people. Fathers with beautiful daughters kill people.
He appreciates it.
I figure I got about 35 years to prepare,
my oldest girl is almost 5, so that's about right.......
......right?
Nice.
When I gave away my oldest daughter at the altar, as I shook the hand of my about-to-be-son-in-law, I pulled him in close and whispered in his ear. LOTS of people thought I was threatening him. What I actually said was, "I present to you the greatest treasure God has placed in my life. I give her into your hands now. Treat her well and always love her."
And he has....
Hmphh
