Father of a bride stopped when walking his daughter down the aisle to include her stepfather in the wedding.
Bride Kelsey Griffith shared video footage of the emotional moment when her dad took her stepdad by the arm and then asked him to be involved. This video has been watched by more than 5.5 million times on Instagram and Tik Tok.
The video starts with Ms Griffith walking down the aisle slowly with her father on her arm while guests are watching on.
However, when getting halfway down, the aisle the pair stopped, and her father reached out towards her stepfather, Andy, who appeared to think he was getting a handshake.
But Kelsey and her dad pulled him towards them and she locked arms with both of her fathers, before they continued down the aisle.
Ms Griffith wrote: “My dad surprised my step dad by asking him to join us in our walk down the aisle. We had kept it a secret until the ceremony, so everyone was surprised when we included him,”.
She continued: “My stepdad, Andy, has helped raise me since I was nine years old, so he deserved a little moment of recognition on our wedding day.
“It was an incredibly sweet and humble gesture to include him and I’m beyond proud of my dad for doing so. Swipe for the sweetest video!”
