"On a wedding-videos-that-will-make-you-cry scale of 1 to 10, this clip is a solid SOBBING NOISILY, NEED TISSUES AND CAKE ASAP. The footage was filmed at NASCAR driver Brian Scott and his now-wife Whitney's wedding in Idaho last year, but is having a well-deserved viral moment right now [H/T The Huffington Post]. It's beautiful footage throughout — I mean, there's banjo music and chandeliers, come on now — but the scene capturing everyone's attention in particular comes at the 4:10 mark, when a choked-up Scott offers some special wedding vows to his new stepdaughter, 3-year-old Brielle. That speech in full:
Brielle, can I tell you something? I promise to always hold your hand and skip with you down the street and bring comfort to your life. I vow to make you say your prayers before you eat. I promise to read you stories at night and to always tuck you in real tight. I vow to show you how a man should treat a woman in my relationship with your mother. And above all else, I vow to protect you, care for you and love you forever.
