“For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment,” Harrison said in his speech. “I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.”
“Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,” he continued.
He then focused on his wife: “I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and mother. I’m on this stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.”
As for her unrealized professional ambitions, he said, “Isabelle‘s dream of having a career might not have come true. But if you ask her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud without hesitation and say, ‘Heck no.’”
