Bride Brings Her Dad to Tears with Surprise Audio of Great-Grandfather

A bride brought her dad to tears with a surprise audio recording of her great-grandfather. Given his emotional reaction, the young woman's father was not expecting what his daughter found. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to see and hear what the bride found and her father's response.

Weddings are often very emotional occasions where people shed a tear or two. Anyone who has ever attended a wedding and a reception knows there are plenty of opportunities to become emotional. There's the moment the bride enters the sanctuary and starts making her way down the aisle, when the happy couple begins exchanging vows and is pronounced husband and wife.

The reception also offers plenty of chances to become teary-eyed. There are the best man and maid of honor speeches and the father-daughter and mother-son dances. A clip posted on YouTube captures a father and his daughter, who has just gotten hitched, during the father-daughter dance at her reception when he unexpectedly becomes emotional, but not for the reason you might think.

Before her wedding day, the bride started going through old home movies when she made a startling discovery. She came across an old audio recording of her great-grandfather, her father's grandfather, singing. The clip also mentions that on the recording were her grandmother, her father's mother, and him singing as a child. Her father had no idea that recording even existed.

Seconds after the song begins, the bride's father is overcome with emotion and unable to stop himself from crying.

"Folks will begin to, maybe, record those special moments today and realize how special they'll be for years down the road," the father of the bride said.

What a lovely and unexpected gift the young woman gave her father on a day intended to be about her and the new chapter in her life.

Exodus 20:12 "Give honor to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your Give is giving you."
