That Sounded Much Better In My Head

This past weekend my wife and I joined friends and family to celebrate our son's wedding.  The ceremony was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the company was lively.  We did not only gain a daughter-in-law but a large, free-spirited, extended family.

As I have mentioned in the past he is my wife's son (my step-son) but I call him our son.  However, I have never tried to play the role of father, after all he was a full grown adult when I first met him.  But I decided that on this momentous occasion I would share a little fatherly advice.

That did not go quite as planned.  It sounded very sage-like and wise in my head but got lost in translation somewhere on the way out of my mouth.  Although I am pretty sure the point was there, the message was a little garbled.
