Going to a loved one’s wedding is a celebration of a fresh start. One wedding, though, has won hearts all over the world because of a touching moment between a stepmother and her four-year-old grandson.
Senior Airman Emily Leehan and USMC Sgt. Joshua Newville’s wedding day was made even more memorable when Emily read her own vows to Joshua’s son Gage.
There were tears in the room as Emily read Gage her promises. It was clear that the boy was happy and comfortable with his new mom.
The room was filled with happy tears, but Gage’s response stole the show. Everyone felt better when he accepted Emily no matter what.
After calming down, the pair said their vows to each other, making their love official. Because they were in the military, they went back to work right after the wedding, so their honeymoon had to be put off.
With this moving movie, we can see how beautiful blended families can be and how powerful love and acceptance can be.
Emily’s generous promises to Gage show that family isn’t just shared genes, but also love and a close bond between people. This touching story makes us remember that love lives in families.
