What my daughter gave me on her wedding day:

She gave me a handkerchief. It says: "To My Dad. You are the first man I ever Loved
When you give me away today, know that I will always be your little girl.
Your Loving Daughter."
She had warned me not to get "blubbery", but I almost did when she gave it to me.
So I made a frame and used an old flannel shirt for the border. It now hangs
on my wall.

Hmmm, hope you don't mind if I steal your idea.

My brother in law's daughter is getting married next month. For years, his nickname has been "Bubba". Everybody calls him that.

At a family event last week he started talking about the wedding; and, as Dads will do, he got a little emotional.

New nickname...Blubba!
