The bride's name is Megan Becker-Towns, she is 29 years old and she recently celebrated her wedding - a magical and unique moment that was also graced by the presence of her father, Glenn. The elderly man presented himself at the ceremony - not only in an elegant suit (as befits an auspicious, happy event like this) - but he wore a very special tie. It was a tie that had been made from cardboard by Megan when she was only 5 years old. Glenn kept his daughter's creation and 24 years later, he decided this beautiful, childhood memory could be brought back to life again: Years earlier, Glenn made himself a promise - if Megan got married one day, he would wear the cardboard tie to the event. And this is exactly what he did!
When Megan saw her father approach her on that special day wearing the cardboard tie, the best memories of her childhood came back to the surface and warm tears of emotion filled her eyes. Megan said: "I remember he always hung the tie I made him on the mirror in his bedroom where dust accumulated on it over the years. He often dusted it off and always said to me:" I'll wear this at your wedding." I was a teenager and at that time I used to roll my eyes and I could only answer him, 'OK dad, alright, sure, whatever!' "
Over the years, Megan believed that the cardboard tie she had made for her father had been lost during the last time they moved home, but at her wedding, she found out that this was not the case. Glenn had jealously guarded and preseved his daughter's gift - a gift that was so very important for him because he knew that the promise he had made to his daughter all those years ago, had to be kept.
And what better time to dust off your old, cardboard tie than on your daughter's wedding day? This was an unexpected surprise that not only moved the girl to her tears, but which showed her once again that her father's love was infinite and knew no bounds for her.
What a moving story!
