this past weekend my son, Dan, was married to Paige Overton of Knoxville, Tennessee. So today I would like to talk to them. Dan and Paige, what a magnificent wedding. We love you and are so happy for you. Never forget what the pastor shared; that according to the scriptures, the institution of marriage and family was God's idea. That is why it is so right and good. When you think about family, they are the people that God brings into your life. You do not choose your brother or sister, your parents or children. God gives them to you. So, Paige, we are so delighted to welcome you into our family. You are a very special young lady. Dan and Paige, you waited and prayed for each other, and God has given you the desires of your heart. His very best. Congratulations. We love you, we are proud of you, we are grateful for you, and we wish you a lifetime of happiness together. And have a great honeymoon.
