Idaho Groom reads vows to his new stepdaughter at wedding

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.
Knowing an emotional crescendo when they see one, the wedding videographers then cut right to the big wedding kiss moment. In her vows, crying bride Whitney said that she "had prayed to God every night that he would find the perfect man to not only love me, but to love my little girl, and he has more than answered my prayers." Scott told The Huffington Post it was those vows to Brielle that affected him the most on the big day, moreso even than the ones to his bride. "You're living in the moment," he said. "You get engulfed by it." As do all of us now.

He and Whitney welcomed their first child together, a boy called Joseph, last November.
