And while the Today star can't wait to walk his firstborn down the aisle, he recently revealed there was one thing he was nervous about.

In a recent appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, the popular weatherman was chatting to host Tamron Hall, who asked the father-of-the-bride if he was nervous.

He then went on to say that he didn't want guests to complain about the weather or compare his daughter's big day to theirs.

"Like, don't make me take you out at my daughter's wedding," he joked.
