On her wedding day, a bride made the unusual decision and had not one or two but 15 different men walk her down the aisle.
Weddings are momentous and often emotional occasions where two people exchange vows, promising to remain together through the good and the bad. While most of the attention remains focused on the couple getting hitched, weddings are about more than those two.
A video posted on YouTube shows how weddings are also about the people who have played a role in our lives until that point. A bride had 15 different men – her brother, her in-laws, childhood coaches and others – walk her down the aisle on her big day.
As she reached the altar, the minister asked, “Who gives this woman to marry this man?” In a show of support and love, all the men answered, “We do.”
These men stepped up and played a pivotal role in this young woman’s life. They all filled a void left by her biological father.
As the narrator in the clip explains, the woman grew up with an abusive father. When she was only 16 years old, the woman helped put her father behind bars.
The short clip states that the woman, who now works in law enforcement as a police officer, married the love of her life on July 15, 2023. The video ends by informing viewers that her husband is also a member of law enforcement. He is a sheriff’s deputy, according to the video.
Yes, weddings are about the love between the couple standing at the altar and saying, “I do.” But as the video shows, this young woman used her wedding day to thank the men who stepped up, loved and supported her throughout life.
What a beautiful and precious moment! It’s one that the bride and the many men who walked her down the aisle will never forget.
1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”
