01:00You may be seated.

01:07Welcome. Thank you for being here today.

01:11We're gathered to celebrate the marriage of Kevin and Lisa.

01:15Two souls that have found each other to create the awesome power that is their beautiful blended family.

01:23The bride and groom would like to thank their family and friends for being here to witness their love today,

01:28but especially to thank their four beautiful daughters, Gianna, Leanne, Daphne, and Emerson, for being a part of this very special day.

01:39One thing that strikes me about this pairing is the love they share for those four girls.

01:49We just need to take a quick moment of silence in honor of Kevin, because he rarely gets one.

01:54I got you.

01:55As a new parent, I understand the difficulties that come with parenting.

02:02It's a whole new ballgame that tests and pushes the boundaries of a marriage.

02:07But you two have decided to make a vow in front of God, your friends and family, and of course, in front of X to You Nation,

02:15to solidify and say, we will always be mom and dad, but now also, we will forever be husband and wife.

02:26Whether they are standing on this stage with all of us, or did it in a courthouse, or decided to go to somebody's backyard,

02:34they always said that this is it would be their wedding song.

02:38And we're very lucky to have Scotty McCreary here today, after we say our vows, to sing so they can dance together to that song.

02:48But the song, This Is It, the one they have chosen, is a song that speaks to love never ending.

02:54On top of the world here together is one of the lyrics, and that's where you guys are right now.

03:00On top of the world here together.

03:02Lisa is a teacher. She works day in, day out with kids who are deaf and hard of hearing.

03:09She herself is fluent in sign language.

03:11Now, when I found this out, I called a friend of mine who is a sign language interpreter.

03:16And I told her, man, how cool would it be if I signed some of the song for them, right?

03:22And she was saying, okay, well, the difficult part of that is sign language is not a direct translation.

03:30It's actually an interpretation.

03:33She said, I can't just tell you how to sign the words, this is it, this is now.

03:38Because we need to sign what that actually means in the context of the song.

03:44For example, out of context, This Is It could be like, hey, babe, did you find your favorite hard seltzer flavor?

03:50Yeah, this is it.

03:53Or you have one of the four beautiful girls maybe misbehaving a little bit and throws food off the table.

03:58And you say, this is it, go to your room.

04:01Two very different contexts.

04:04So my sign language interpreter friend and I talked and talked and talked through what the song means.

04:10What does This Is It mean when it comes to this incredible hit song from Scotty McCreary?

04:15In the song, This Is It, it means cherish this.

04:23This is forever.

04:26And forever starts now.

04:28And it's kind of fitting because in music, that's what lyrics are, right?

04:34They're not just words on paper.

04:36They mean so much more.

04:38And the marriage between sign language and music and country music, especially with the great storytelling, is perfect.

04:46This is it.

04:48This is now.

04:51This is forever.

04:53And forever starts now.

04:57Are you guys ready?

05:03Gianna, could you please present the rings to your father?

05:06Kevin, please take Lisa's ring, and I'll hold the box for you.

05:15There you go.

05:19And please grab her left hand and repeat after me.

05:23I, Kevin, take you Lisa.
