George Clooney’s Father’s Wedding Speech Will Bring a Tear To Your Eye

George Clooney’s father, Nick, officially brought a lil tear to our eyes this morning as the details of his speech at their wedding was revealed. George and Amal Alamuddin got married last Saturday in Venice, and Nick wowed the crowds with a beautiful and emotional dedication to his son and his new wife. “The loveliest, most intriguing city on the planet. Check. A glittering assembly of accomplished people. Check. A beautiful bride. Check. A nervous groom. Check,” he began. The couple pictured in Venice. “We are deep in the age of irony. We cherish our guilty pleasure of scepticism.  Then here comes George, the crown prince of irony, getting down on one basketball-battered knee and asking the savvy Amal to marry him. And if you think that’s crazy, Amal said ‘Yes!’ “In their tidal wave of generosity, Amal and George present us with one more gift. Hope. No, it’s more than hope. Hope is too ephemeral…It is belief that in this place and at this moment, love is alive and well.” Take note Dads everywhere...*wipes away tear*
