Age 4: "Daddy, this boy is being mean to me!" "It's ok baby girl, he likes you, I swear."

Age 10: "Dad, no, boys are gross!" "Good girl, keep thinking that way."

Age 13: "Dad, I don't understand why no one thinks I'm pretty enough?" "Baby, you are too pretty and too good for them, I promise."

Age 15: "I'm scared for this date Dad. What do I do? What do I say?" "Be yourself sweet girl, if he doesn't like that, there's something wrong with him."

Age 15 ... about 2 months later: "What did I do wrong? Why did he break up with me?" "Because he is an idiot."

Age 18: "Dad, boys are too much work, I'm done with them, I'm done trying. That's it! I'm swearing them off." "Ok, we will see about that.'

Age 19: "So...theres this boy. He is everything I wanted and at times, everything I don't but...I think I love him..." "I can't wait to meet him, don't rush baby."

Age 20: "Is this right? Am I crazy? Dad, you know boys, what do I do? Is this real?" "He makes you happy sweetheart, seems right to me. He is a good guy, I think you've done good."

Age 22 (Behind two french doors leading down an aisle): "This is crazy! How are we here? Daddy, I'm scared. What if he hurts me? What if it ends up wrong? Daddy, don't give me away." "Oh babygirl, I'll never give you away, you were mine first, and you will always be my babygirl. But, for some crazy reason, I trust this man standing at the end of the aisle. You're gonna be fine my sweet goofball. I love you."
