Stacey said, if you start crying, I’ll start crying too. Then I started crying, which led to her crying. Either way, it was a beautiful moment.
The song I picked for the father-daughter dance was “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw, sung live by the wedding band. Here are some of the words that make that song so special to me. Thanks Tim McGraw and Tom Douglas for such heart-warming lyrics [I’m tearing up now.]:
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Going to tell you how much I love you.
Though you think you already know,
I remember I thought you looked like an angel.
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm.
You've had me wrapped around your finger,
Since the day you were born
You're beautiful baby, from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again.
Go on, take on this old world but to me,
You know you'll always be my little girl.
Sometimes when you're asleep,
I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say,
Daddy love you more. 19
There must have been a million desserts, or at least several dozen. Sugar-free desserts were there for me and others with blood sugar issues. Guests also enjoyed various coffees and liquors. And the band played on until nearly 2 AM. I was there to the every end!!
