It was the father-daughter dance at Emily Ferris' wedding in July 2016.

Emily wore a white satin dress.

Her proud father towered over her in a black suit as they swayed back and forth to the music. All right, let's give it up for Gary and Emily.

They took a sweet bow toward each other and ended the magical moment.

Here's Emily.

It was a good wedding.

I was the bride, so I was a little,

I was like probably in another world compared to everyone

else. You're hearing, Emily, answering questions from prosecutors in 2024. By then, the

investigation of Gary Ferris's murder had gone to trial. A wedding is a milestone event, a memorable day where everyone's eyes are on the bride and

groom.

But some eyes at the reception turned from Emily to her mother, Melody, as she spent the night

on the arm of a man who wasn't her husband, Gary.

From what I understand, they were, like, dancing together, like canoodling, if you will, during the reception.

Emily was on the stand, recounting the shock of her wedding day when her mother openly flirted with a man named Rusty Barton.

The interactions between the two were of a couple.

Like there was, like I felt like under the table leg touching, like getting really close together to talk,

just like whispering to each other, like into each other's ears.

She said the scene left the whole family shaken and ashamed.

And Daddy said that's the last time, that's the last time she's ever going to embarrass me like that.

Again, I mean, I can only imagine how devastated he was by that.

Prior to her wedding day, Emily said she had suspected Rusty could be more than just a friend to her mother.
