There are many things that I remember from my wedding day. One moment that sticks out in my head is the moment that Brad walked Tasha down the isle and gave her away. I remember the smile on his face, the tears in his eyes, and his embrace. I wonder how I’ll hold up if I someday have to give my own daughter away. This is one of my current favorite songs.

Stealing Cinderella
I came to see her daddy for sit down man to man
It wasn't any secret I'd be asking for her hand
I guess that's why he left me waiting in the living room
by myselfwith at least a dozen pictures of her sitting on a shelf
She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes I’m Prince Charming
But to him I’m just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella
I leaned in towards those pictures to get a better look at one
When I heard a voice behind me say "Now, ain't she something, son?"
I said "Yes, she quite a woman" and he just stared at me
Then I realized that in his eyes she would always be
Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
In her eyes I’m Prince Charming
But to him I’m just some fella
riding in and stealing Cinderella
He slapped me on the shoulder
Then he called her in the room
When she threw her arms around him
That's when I could see it too
She was Playing Cinderella
Riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight
Running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad, looking up at him
If he gives me a hard time
I can't blame the fella
I'm the one who's stealing Cinderella

I will always remember my dad walking me down the aisle. It was such a special time. It was hard for me to look at him though, with all those tears. He cried more during my engagement than in all my life, aside from when Tanner died. I know some of those were happy tears, and others were the realization that he'd have to let go of me. I tend to be one that follows others emotions. If someone's crying, it's hard for me not to. The same thing happens with laughter. Why just today as kids were goofing off I found myself smiling, because in reality it was funny. Dealing with quieting everyone down, not quite as funny, but still worth the wide grin.
What a beautiful wedding you two had! Looks like the two of you have wonderful memories, too.:)
I "worry" for generations upcoming. I can hope & pray that there are men of character out there truly willing to take care of some daddy's little girl.:)
