Dad’s treasure

I think I speak for all father’s when I say walking a daughter down the aisle on her wedding day is or will be a bittersweet moment.Erica and Kate, 2010

I was recently sent a fantastic YouTube video from my Aunt Rose that offered a recording of a bride’s father speaking to the groom just before vows were exchanged. His words and thoughts were honest, truthful and no doubt memorable to all those present.

I think — maybe I hope — I have some time before I’m actually put in this situation, but watching the video got me to wondering. How will I react when it’s my turn to walk my girls down the aisle. I hope it’s not with a baseball bat! I hope it’s like this.

Here is the video:

While I’m on the subject of my daughters, I want to congratulate them both on a splendid job in their respective roles for shows that were recently held at their schools.

Katie was part of the ensemble in “Sweet Charity” at Cranford HS and Erica played the role of Jo Jo in “Seussical” at The Boston Conservatory. They both had a lot of fun and worked extremely hard. We’re proud of both of them.
