His favorite moment during the wedding
Patton said that one of his best moments during his wedding with Meredith was while he was standing up at the altar and his daughter came down the aisle with a bunch of flowers and hugged him.
“My favorite moment was when I was standing up at the altar and my daughter came down the aisle — she was a flower girl. And she just spontaneously gave me this huge hug. It was like, we’re safe now. Things are OK. I almost started crying. I was so happy the way that she held me. Like, things are OK now. It felt amazing. That moment.”
