"I just went to the back of my car and grabbed my backpack -- and off I went on foot," David Jones told "Good Morning America" of his decision to walk from South Carolina to Tennessee through the hurricane aftermath to get to his daughter Elizabeth Marquez's nuptials. Despite the challenges, his determination to reach his daughter exemplified the lengths a father will go for his child's happiness.
"I sunk down in the mud. It was like quicksand, right down to my knees -- trapped, can't move -- and then slowly moved each leg until I (could) get back up to more solid ground," Jones recalled. This illustrates the physical and emotional struggles he faced during his journey, highlighting his dedication.
"He walked me down the aisle -- it wasn't until the reception that he -- explained the story of what he had gone through," Marquez told "GMA." The moment brought emotional depth to their special day, showcasing the bond between father and daughter.
"It was an emotional roller coaster for me because I love my dad very much," she added. This statement emphasizes the deep affection and appreciation she has for her father, further highlighting the significance of his journey.
