Introduction
đ¸ Indiana Feek â The Little Girl Who Stole Everyoneâs Heart đ¸
Country artist Rory Feekâone half of the beloved duo Joey + Roryârecently got remarried in a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. But the most touching part of the day wasnât the vows or the romantic song he performedâit was the quiet magic brought by his daughter, Indiana, affectionately known as Indie.
Born in 2014 with Down syndrome, Indie became a symbol of hope and strength as her mother, Joey Feek, bravely fought cancer before passing away in 2016. Since then, Rory has dedicated himself to raising Indie with love, faith, and honesty, sharing their journey with fans through his heartfelt blog.
What no one expected was that it would be little Indie who would lead her father back to love. One spring day, she turned to Rebecca, a teacher at the one-room schoolhouse on Roryâs farm, and said:
âMiss Rebecca, I think you should marry my Papa.â
Then she added, âMy mama’s been gone a long time⌠if you marry him, maybe you could be my new mama.â
Children just know, donât they?
Rory and Rebeccaâs wedding was deeply personalâcaptured in a music video for a song Rory wrote called âI Do.â Rebecca didnât even know it was coming. But the most moving moment wasnât the music or the ceremonyâit was when Indie was given the gift of a mother again. And Rebecca, in turn, received the precious gift of becoming a mom.
đ âI think by far my and her favorite moment of the wedding was this one⌠when Indiana was given the gift of having a mama in her life again, and Rebecca was given the gift of being a mother.â â Rory Feek
