Wow! Monnie was so beautiful she brought tears to my eyes. I also noticed tears in the Groom's eyes when we stopped at the front of the Chapel. I whispered, "Hang in there, 'cause if you lose it, I know I will." I thought a lot about how to respond to that question, "Who gives this woman?" I even wrote a little song of sorts, and shared it with my wife. She said, "No, you can't do it. You'll cry." So... I just said, "Her mother and I." Here, I will expound a little on what those words mean, and on the advice of my son, Gareth, I have entitled this "Her Mother and I."
"Her Mother and I"
by the father of the bride
I'm not giving my little girl away.
She's here in my heart where forever she'll stay.
The woman on my arm I will trust to your care,
but never forget that I'll always be here.
'Cause I'm not giving my little girl away.
She's in my heart forever and always.
