It’s wonderful to celebrate the start of a new life with a loved one by attending their wedding.
Guests from USMC Sgt. Joshua Newville and Senior Airman Emily Leehan’s wedding expected to have a good time, and they got it, but they also saw one of the most unforgettable scenes in history.
Leehan had also written wishes for her stepson Gage, which she began reading aloud.
The adorable little child couldn’t contain his excitement to see his father’s wedding, and it was clear that not only was he accepting of his mother-to-be, but he was also thrilled with his father’s choice.
Leehan, seeing Gage’s wide eyes on her, turned to him and began reading their wedding vows.
Everyone in the room said “awww” at the end of his speech because he was so sincere.
Everyone was crying with happiness, but it was Gage’s adorable reaction that everyone was talking about.
He sobbed uncontrollably as he clung to his mother-in-law and listened to her remarks.
“I want you to be safe, do your best and be a good person,” Leehan said. She then said, “Don’t cry baby,” because she noticed that the emotional moment was too much for this child to bear.
“The last thing I hope you learn is that you’re a special boy,” Leehan continued.
“You are extremely intelligent, beautiful and kind to others. You have helped make me the woman I am today and I may not have given you the gift of life, but life has surely given me the gift of you.
After taking a moment to compose themselves, the couple said their vows.
It was clarified that the newlyweds returned to work immediately after the ceremony.
They were both scheduled to report to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, so the honeymoon had to be put on hold.
