“Listen to me, I’ve cried enough,” he said. “Baby Girl got married. When I say that, it’s a great feeling... It was a moment where, yes, I was letting her go, but I was also gaining a family. The family is getting huge right about now, but we are happy.”
The singer shared an emotional moment with his 24-year-old daughter before walking her down the aisle. “She spent the whole time walking down the aisle: ‘I love you dad, I love you dad, I love you dad,’ and I go... ‘You’re killing me. You’re killing me.’ But that’s what a dad wants to hear, and I love Baby Girl so much, and the family was there to root her on.”
Lionel also talked about his relationship with his new son-in-law, as he has known him since he was nine years old. “I know the groom really well. There’s a thing down South we always say: ‘Whos your people?’ Well, I know his people, so it really is a real wonder to see them in love and just as happy as I’ve ever seen my little girl and Elliot.”
