Legend has it that every woman dreams of their wedding day ever since they were young. A Cinderella-like event that would leave anyone attending breathless. Andrea had everything ready and planned for her wedding. The venue was booked and the catering was set. It all came together perfectly. She was very excited to share her special day with all of her loved ones. What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately, her father, Mark, had been fighting pancreatic cancer and passed away a few days before Andrea’s wedding day. He was going to walk her down the aisle.
One of her brothers made an announcement during the reception. He began to discuss the father-bride dance and the loss their family faced saying “We’re missing someone pretty important… so, I decided I wanted to do something special for Andrea and not only for Andrea but for dad.”
Andrea and her father had a special song. Andrea’s brother recorded himself singing the song, “Butterfly Kisses”, and played it during what would have been the father-bride dance.
The special song was not the only wonderful surprise at Andrea’s wedding. The bride’s brother asked each of the men in the family to dance with Andrea. She burst into tears when the older gentlemen came to dance with her. The wedding attendees were in tears as the dance took place. The last dance was saved for Andrea’s brother.
She completely lost her composure when she took to the dance floor with her sibling.
Thanks to her family and friends, she was able to honor her father and her wedding day was truly special.
