After dinner, Mr. Socks and I had asked Sister Socks and Groomsman Matt to deliver toasts. Matt went first and kept it short, funny and sweet. Apparently, he was nervous to deliver the speech, but did so well that I would have never known!

Sister Socks went next and she delivered a funny, wonderful speech that mostly encompassed how much she used to dupe me when I was a kid. It was so touching and heartfelt…I should ask her for a copy of it!

After her speech, Dad Socks and I kicked the rest of the night off with our father/daughter dance.

Let me tell you guys…Dad Socks can DANCE. He took ballroom dancing classes a few times in college and took Momma Socks for lessons a few years back. He’s never lost his moves! He worked so hard to come up with the right dance moves for our song, which was  Daughter by Loudin Wainwright.

The song was a little difficult to dance to since it speeds up and slows down, but Dad Socks led me effortlessly and all of our practicing paid off!

At one point, we did a double spin, where he twirled me first, and then he twirled! It was definitely a crowd pleaser.

I didn’t get emotional during this dance, but I remember thinking to myself to truly cherish the moment and just have fun with my dad. It was definitely a special moment, and I feel so lucky to have the close relationship that I do with Dad Socks.

I love you, dad!
