This is the first wedding I've been to in a long long time, and it has brought me tears of joy. Thank you so much for bringing this to our lives. In his last days, my beloved veteran was blind in one eye. Leo reminds me why I loved my veteran for so long. We met in high school before he went to Vietnam. He died in a VA hospital in 2008 after suffering for for 37 years from PTSD, as well as drug addiction and alcoholism. We weren't married in a traditional way, but we were married for 40 years. I was with him in the ICU in the last week of his life. Leo and Alex are dear to my heart! May love bless and keep them and their generation always.

Today I've nothing pithy, nothing snarky to say, just thanks. Beautiful wedding, beautiful reminder that life goes on.

Curse you, GBT! I didn’t think you could make this week’s series any more poignant, and you just did. My handkerchief drawer may never be the same; at least until my own daughters get married.

I am a bachelor of 48 who just returned from a 400-mile drive after visiting a family with a daughter graduating high school. I get home and read a week's worth of strips in one sitting. God is laughing at me for staying single.

To paraphrase John Kennedy, "Let the word go forth from this time and place that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Doonesbury characters." Congratulations, Alex and Leo. May God bless your marriage.

Until Alex called Toggle "honey" in a recent strip, I have failed to see any affection between them. Somehow, this takes all the happiness of their wedding away from me. I wish them the best, but fear the worst.

I've been reading Doonesbury in real time since just about Alex's birth, so not only do I love the sentimentality expressed in today's strip, but now I also feel just as old as Mike does. Surely, today's will be remembered as one of your Top 100 strips of all time.

Am glad to see from this thread that I wasn't alone in having misty eyes (well, a little more than that) from today's strip. I don't always get the US political references, but today's strip was universal, covering feelings experienced by parents everywhere. A masterpiece.

I tried in many ways to write out how today's strip resonated with me. I am still decades away from ever seeing a child of my own wed, but the emotion you infused this scene with has tears of joy, triumph and loss running down my face.

This morning's strip has stayed with me all day. Long-time Doonesbury readers have watched Alex grow up, always being her father's shining light, always there to protect him in his time of need. This is an emotional moment for many Doonesbury readers.

Beautiful, a  simply beautiful series. I feel for Mike -- today's scene where he talks to Alex, the child, will strike a chord in any father. Thank you.

Today's strip was spot on. I had exactly the same moment two years ago today when my oldest daughter got married. Now I am getting all misty-eyed.

My daughter just got married four weeks ago. This is all resonating so strongly. Grown men all over the world, myself included, are getting choked up over today's strip. You are amazing in your ability to capture our lives so succinctly.

I don't think I've ever been moved by a comic strip before. Today's literally made me cry. It was so sweet and touching.

Today's strip made me cry. I've been dreading my kids' wedding days since I brought them home from the hospital. (Still crying...)

Sunrise, sunset...

I'm a Republican operative, disagree with many policy views GBT espouses (though chuckling), and have never posted on here. But I needed to come on and say thank you for the wedding in general and today's strip in particular. Having read over 30 years worth of the these characters (meanwhile having four kids of my own, daughters are nine and four), this was as good a glimpse as any artistic medium has given me at what awaits me someday when my Becky and Katie are married.

Today's strip is so true. You see a little girl pretending to be a bride and then poof! She is one. One second she's playing with a doll, and then poof! It's not a toy, it's your grandchild.

"You go play." Three words Mike will never say to his daughter again...How heartbreaking!

Poor Mike! In his mind, it is literally his little girl who is getting married. Our children grow up so quickly. But he can hold his head high -- he has been a stand-up dad.
