Teary daughter, newly wed, hugging you repeatedly (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
dewy-eyed
'teary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'daughter newly wed hugging you repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'newly' indicates an anagram.
'hugging' indicates putting letters inside.
'you' becomes 'ye'.
'repeatedly' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'wed' with letters rearranged gives 'ewd'.
'ye' duplicated is 'yeye'.
'ewd' going around 'yeye' is 'ewyeyed'.
'd'+'ewyeyed'='DEWY-EYED'
(Other definitions for dewy-eyed that I've seen before include "Exhibiting childlike credulity" , "Affected by nostalgic or sentimental tears?" , "Teary" , "Seeming rather tearful" , "Innocent" .)
