This past Saturday I was blessed with the honor of officiating the marriage of my son Dillon to Megan Anderson. This day was one of the highlights of my life.
The part that I will remember most is watching my son’s face as Megan walked down the aisle towards him. I don’t remember ever seeing him so happy. As Megan and her father approached where Dillon and I were standing I began to well up with emotion myself. I took a deep breath and thought to myself “This isn’t going to be easy”.
The brief ceremony went well, and I only had to be corrected once during the reading of the vows. I managed to hold back ant tears until after the bride and groom walked back down the aisle. Then, as I hugged my wife, my sister, and my aunt I allowed the moisture to well up in my eyes.
My son is married. We have a wonderful new member to our family. I am a blessed man.
Beautifully expressed by a proud dad. Your son and his new wife are blessed to have you in their lives.
