I'm happy to share with my friends here that my beautiful daughter became engaged today!

The groom-to-be is a fine young man, and we are very pleased to welcome him to the family

Every daddy hopes his daughter will find the right man to marry, and I believe that to be the case with Rachel.

It has been a good day.

Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all.

You're not losing a daughter... etc., and please pass our best wishes on to the bride and her mom, too!

Having only had daughters, I'm quite glad to finally have a couple of sons in the family.

Acquiring a kid-in-law is a blessing. Watching your kid get married you discover emotions you didn't know you had.

That's why Bill is working all the extra late hours, to pay for both weddings.

Huge congratulations. It's a great thing she brought home someone you like.

I don't know that my eldest will ever tie the knot. But who knows, she keeps pretty quiet about her personal life, and she's in Toronto. Middle daughter is just 18, and in no hurry. I'm good with that. The youngest is a ways away from even thinking about it yet. I hope.

I reminded my friend that "officially" he now only has a son-in-law. So actually Shannon, I think you are a father-in-medicine.
