It all started with 4 minutes.

How can you fit a life of memories and wisdom for your daughter into 4 minutes? They said it couldn’t be done… and indeed it couldn’t.

Given that 14 minutes allowed for about 1% of the things I was hoping to say, it is estimated by experts that the correct time for a father of the bride speech should be 1400 minutes, which is almost exactly one full 24 hour day. Some scholars actually argue that the length of a day comes from this fact, which is as old as time itself.

I would be delighted to discuss my thoughts with you, including my thoughts on the “4 minute moral disaster” but please come prepared because according to my son in law I only have 46 minutes of discussion time left.
