Not all of us have great dads. When we don't, sometimes it makes us jealous of our friends who do have great dads. I was thinking about this the other day and thought I'd make a video call as if I were YOUR dad; just calling to say I love you, I'm proud of you.. and maybe to remind you of some important life things you should always remember. So, if you have a sucky dad and never get calls like this, please accept this call from me. It's my digital hug for YOU. If you're ever down, or stuck, or just need someone in your corner, watch this. Much love, ~ Dad

Right after my Father-of-the-Bride speech, I faked a story about my wife sharing some beautiful words about our baby girl (the bride). I awkwardly called her up to share (and she NEVER speaks in front of a crowd). Then, we blew our daughter's mind with a specially prepared version of Bye Bye Bye, as we celebrated being empty nesters. Enjoy #comedy #byebyebyeparody #nsync #fatherofthebride #weddingspeech We obviously do not own the rights to the original song. Lyrics: We’ve been prayin all your life That you'd find Mr. Right And it’s gonna happen tonight yeah Kodi come on We have loved you endlessly But you’re way past 23 So it’s time for you to leave And make it alone I know that we can’t take no more It ain’t no lie We wanna see you out that door Kodi bye bye bye Don’t wanna be a maid for you Not another minute cleaning up your room We still love you but it ain’t no lie Kodi bye bye bye Don’t really wanna make it tough We just wanna say we’ve had enough.
