When Vivian and I arrived that afternoon, a gentleman greeted us in the hall with a huge smile and an even bigger hug. It was Dana’s dad, a man I had never met until that very moment, but just like Dana he did know a stranger. I’m BIG on hugs. But I have never been randomly hugged by a father before on a wedding day and I remember thinking “Yeah, this is good stuff right here! Let’s get this party started!”
