Weddings are known for stirring emotions – and a recent one has captured hearts worldwide as a groom received a surprise message from his daughter.
As he awaited his bride’s entrance at Hawkstone Hall in Shropshire, a voice message from his little girl, Evie, was played, moving the groom and guests to tears. The touching moment, filmed by JOL videography, has become a sensation with more than 83 million views on TikTok.
In her message, Evie says: “Hello daddy, it’s me, Evie. I’m walking down the aisle and will see you now because you’re going to marry my mummy and she looks beautiful like me.” She continued: “We love you so, so much to the moon and back. And we love you lots and lots like Jelly Tots.”
The crowd chuckled as the sweet girl concluded with: “See you in a minute. See ya don’t want to be ya. See you later, alligator.” Overwhelmed by emotion, the groom was handed a handkerchief by a groomsman.
The heartwarming video has touched many online, with one TikTok user commenting: “Cutest thing I’ve ever heard.” While another posted: “I just want to see this daddy see beautiful Evie when she starts down the aisle.”
“This sounds straight from a movie scene,” one person commented. Another viewer, moved by the clip, suggested: “Please play this at her wedding before you leave a message to her about walking her down the aisle… I cannot handle this.”
Others praised the groom’s life as “rich” due to his wonderful daughter and partner. “That was the sweetest little voice ever – crying,” another user wrote.
