Duggar Wedding and Overly Sentimental Dad

Heidi and our girls are watching the Duggar Wedding on TV right now. They are the stars of the 17 and Counting show on TLC. This is the family with all the kids that live in Springdale. It sounds like they are enjoying the show, but I just can't do it. I know that Maylee is only 11, but I struggle with weddings now. I have been a crier for some time now, but all the more when it involves my girls. Some day that will be me walking my girls down an aisle and handing them over to some boy.

Heidi thinks there is no way I will be able to perform their weddings. She says I will be a blubbering mess. She is probably right.

How cool is this family though? This couple never kissed until the wedding and are so committed to purity and to each other. I wonder if TLC is subtly attempting to mock them, but this family's commitment to God and to each other is really unmockable. (Obviously I am watching some of it, but I head out if I feel sentimantility creeping in.
