A girl's father does something totally unexpected at her wedding, he stopped the procession, ran to the front row and grabbed her stepdad in order to share the honor of walking their daughter down the aisle.
After all, her stepdad had helped raise her said her father.
It is one of the most compassionate gestures toward a stepparent I've ever seen and the bride was in tears and overcome with emotion as was the stepfather.
The stepdad said he was totally taken aback by her father's kind gesture.
He came and grabbed my hand and said: 'You worked as hard as I have.
You'll help us walk our daughter down the aisle,.
"I got weak in the knees and lost it. Nothing better in my life, the most impactful moment in my life."

Lending credence to the truth of "It takes a village to raise a child," no?

I wish more men were like this man. Leave the ego and macho crap behind. That is nice.

Not many would do what the brides father did so you have to give him a thumbs up for being a good guy.

I saw this earlier, can't imagine this happening to anyone I know, it takes a special kind of person to be get over their past and share this moment with someone who is now married to their ex...

@Marcyaz I remember watching Don't Tell the Bride and the bride wanted both her dad and step dad to walk her down the aisle but her dad refused was sad that he couldn't put his issues aside for one day... But this story restores my faith in humanity

That is great when a child has two grown men who did right by her. She shows them both love by walking her down the isle when she was older to marry.

This is so touching. What a beautiful surprise for their daughter.
I'm sure she was very happy to have both of her fathers with her on such an important day..
