You know, the Lord has blessed me every day with the best family a man could ever have.
The Lord felt sorry for me about 27 and a half years ago, and blessed me with a wonderful
wife, whom I don't deserve, a son, who I consider my best friend, and of course, the young lady
I'm proud to call my daughter.
Taylor, I'm proud to be your dad, and you, my sweets, will always be my princess.
Oh my gosh, Taylor.
We're getting married.
I love you.
I love you so much.
You look so beautiful.
Oh, Taylor, this is amazing.
The night they met, it was love at first sight.
Anyone in that room could've told you that.
It was exciting to get to be there that night, and it's also exciting to get to watch their
love grow.
My earliest memory of Taylor and Ernie was four years ago to this day, over Christmas
break, during our freshman year of college.
Taylor called me the morning after meeting Ernie, and she was absolutely smitten.
Ernie started coming around more, and I was able to kind of watch them together and see
how it just made sense.
It wasn't weird.
It wasn't like, "Oh, your boyfriend's here.
I'm going to go so you all can hang out."
It wasn't like that.
Ernie and Taylor together just worked, and I think that I speak for everyone when I say
that you guys are a perfect match.
It really came to full fruition when we all lived in Norman the same summer, and I really
got to see the depth of the relationship.
What they have for each other, I think it's something very special, and something that's
one of a kind.
Ernie, Taylor still speaks about you with the same excitement and same giddiness, as
when she first met you.
Your love has been my favorite to watch, because it has only gotten that much better over the
years.
I Taylor.
Take you Ernie.
To be my wedded husband.
And promise before God and these friends.
To be your loving and faithful husband.
To be your loving and faithful husband, as long as we both shall live.
What makes him special, is that he will always put the needs and desires of his wife first.
When they're in a crowd, there won't be a single person who doesn't recognize that they're
together, and there will never be any question in Taylor's mind that she is the love of his
life.
