In this particular case, the dad dutifully walked his daughter down the isle and permitted a few tears in the church. Once the ceremony was over, however, he didn’t anticipate anymore waterworks.
Of course, little did he know that his not-so-little girl had a special surprise for him…
When it came time for the traditional father-daughter dance, he and his daughter walked out onto the dance floor. Their special song started to play and all seemed in order, until halfway through the song the music changed and the lyrics were replaced by a certain familiar voice.
Even the guests began to choke up when they realised what the bride had done, and what it meant to her dad.
The bride had swapped out the lyrics, replacing them with the three-year-old version of herself singing, “I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family.”
It didn’t take long for dad’s facade of composure to crack. He rested his head on his daughter’s shoulder and simply wept.

What an incredible video, and certainly an inspiring one! Any parent out there will know just how tough it is to let go of your children when they grow up.
