There’s something truly special about witnessing two people in love exchange their wedding vows. But what makes this moment even more unforgettable is when the love and commitment are extended to the entire family, including the children.
This was exactly what happened at the wedding of US Marine Corps sergeant Joshua Newville and Senior Airman Emily Leehan. As they exchanged their vows, Emily took a moment to address her stepson, four-year-old Gage. The little boy’s reaction was priceless, and it’s a moment that will warm your heart.
As Emily began reading her vows to Gage, the room fell silent. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the sweet moment unfolding before them. Emily’s words were filled with love, promises, and encouragement for her young stepson. She vowed to always be there for him, to support him, and to help him grow into a kind and compassionate person.
Gage’s eyes welled up with tears as he listened to Emily’s heartfelt words. He was clearly touched by her love and commitment to him. As Emily finished her vows, Gage wrapped his arms around her, and the room erupted in a collective “awww.”
The ceremony was a beautiful celebration of love and family. Despite the challenges that come with being a military family, Joshua and Emily’s love and commitment to each other and to their children are an inspiration to us all.
After the wedding, the newlyweds returned to their duties, postponing their honeymoon until a later date. But for now, they’re basking in the joy and love of their special day.
