        CONGRATULATIONS TO DAN AND PAIGE PITTS ON THEIR MARRIAGE

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend my son, Dan, was married to 
Paige Overton of Knoxville, Tennessee. So today I would like to talk to 
them.
  Dan and Paige, what a magnificent wedding. We love you and are so 
happy for you. Never forget what the pastor shared; that according to 
the scriptures, the institution of marriage and family was God's idea. 
That is why it is so right and good.
  When you think about family, they are the people that God brings into 
your life. You do not choose your brother or sister, your parents or 
children. God gives them to you.
  So, Paige, we are so delighted to welcome you into our family. You 
are a very special young lady. Dan and Paige, you waited and prayed for 
each other, and God has given you the desires of your heart. His very 
best. Congratulations.
  We love you, we are proud of you, we are grateful for you, and we 
wish you a lifetime of happiness together. And have a great honeymoon.
