Kirk Franklin and the bride Carrington walking down the isle (Instagram) |
October
1st Was a special day for renown and multiple award winning artist gospel singer, Kirk
Franklin and his family as his beautiful daughter, Carrington married her
college heart rob, Maxx Nakwaasah.
Kirk
Franklin message on his Instagram page wrote a very beautiful and honest letter
to Carrington, where he expressed the difficulty of letting go.
In
his words, “She’s getting married
today…..and I’ve spent an hour and a half rewriting this. Crying, smiling, and
preparing to let go, ….of my little girl. I will walk her down the isle, then I
will officiate the wedding. Why? Because I’m selfish, for my little girl. And
she asked her daddy to! How could I say no?! I pray I don’t make a fool of
myself and cry more than I speak.
The singer was also the officiating at the ceremony, Kirk Franklin

God, it’s so hard
to release her. If I could I would keep her a little girl, FOREVER. Selfish, I
know. But at this moment, I want to be. I want to go go- kart riding, jet
skiing, middle school basketball games, movies over and over again….just me and
her. This is hard as Hell. She has no idea, cause she’s not a daddy. I am. A
proud one. I hope I was a good one. I’m sorry for that one spanking you got
that killed me more than it did you! I’m proud and love your future husband.
Jealous, but proud. He comes first now. I’ll have to get use to that, cause I’m
selfish, for you.
Only pictures get
stuck in time, not people. They grow, and need to be let go…. I’m going to try
really hard,…but please, when I see you with your new life, let me hold you
every now and then, and pretend….that I’m never letting go. Forever daddy’s
girl. Signed, A girl’s daddy.”
Kirk
walked his baby down the aisle, officiated the wedding, and ripped up the dance
floor with Carrington during their father/daughter dance.
