One Down, Two to Go

Posted on January 15, 2018 by

This is the beginning of a few stories (and photos) from my first attempt at being the father of the bride.

Below is a  photo of  the newly minted Mrs. Creech and I having the “Father-Daughter Dance”

Elissa picked out a Darius Rucker song, which you can hear below.

I will note that the gold-framed sunglasses hanging from my pocket were a prop from when we were introduced.  My bad for not removing them for the dance, but I was on autopilot.

For the record, I lost about a half pound yesterday. . .  from lots of happy tears, but I gained a wonderful son-in-law.

    You do look a very proud (and very smart) Daddy there, and who’s that gorgeous lady you are with? Good music choice too. May they have a long, happy, and healthy marriage together.

    Congrats,Ray! To further commemorate your dance with your daughter, I recommend the late Luther Vandross’ song—Dance With My Father.

    What an absolutely heartbreakingly perfect choice of song Elissa made. You look SO proud, she SO happy. I wish her joy and peace and love and laughter in a long long marriage to her one true love. And you I wish the content that comes from knowing you did a wonderful job and you will always be number one in her eyes

    Beautiful song and a wonderful memory to hang on to, and you know, she’ll always belong to her daddy. Warmest wishes to you and many congratulations to Elissa and her new husband.

    By the looks of that photo I’d say that you nailed the gig.
