There’s something uniquely moving about weddings that often brings tears of joy to everyone involved. Four-year-old Gage learned this lesson in a profound way during his father, US Marine Corps Sergeant Joshua Newville’s wedding to Senior Airman Emily Leehan in Ripley, New York, a few years back.
Little Gage was doing a great job of holding it together until the moment his father’s bride began reciting vows she had personally written for him. That’s when the emotions hit him hard.
As Gage stood proudly by his father’s side during the ceremony, he had no idea that Leehan had prepared a special set of vows just for him. When she began to share them in front of a teary-eyed audience, it quickly became overwhelming for the little boy.
As Leehan started: “I want you to be safe, and to try your hardest and to be a good person”, Gage could no longer contain himself and burst into tears, throwing his arms around her.
The audience collectively gasped, responding with a heartfelt “awww” as Leehan tried to comfort him, saying: “Don’t cry, baby”. At that moment, it was clear that Gage’s emotional outpouring was entirely understandable.
Leehan continued: “The last thing I hope you learn is that you are a special boy. You are so extremely smart, handsome, and kind to others. You have helped shape me into the woman that I am today, and while I may not have given you the gift of life, life certainly gave me the gift of you”.
It wasn’t just Gage who was overcome; both Leehan and Newville shed tears as they continued with their vows. Gage certainly captured the spotlight, not just with his adorable suit and innocent gaze, but also with a reaction that is sure to resonate with viewers everywhere.
According to ABC7, the newlyweds, Leehan and Newville, returned to active duty immediately after their wedding and couldn’t head off for a honeymoon right away. Instead, they went back to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to begin their married life.
Despite the busy schedule, their ceremony was unforgettable. You can watch the heartwarming video of Gage’s reaction to Leehan’s vows below, be sure to have some tissues handy! It was a truly beautiful ceremony and a poignant reminder of love’s incredible power. We wish Joshua and Emily all the best in their journey together.
A Picture from His Wife Leads a Husband to Ask for Divorce. This Is the Strange Reason Why
It was a typical Tuesday afternoon when my phone buzzed with a new message. The sender was none other than my beloved wife, Emma. We had been married for ten years, and our relationship had always been built on trust, love, and mutual respect. But what I was about to discover would shake the very foundations of our marriage.
“Hey, honey! Check this out!” the message read, accompanied by a photo attachment. Curious, I opened the image, expecting to see a cheerful selfie or a picture of something amusing she had encountered during her day. Instead, my eyes widened in disbelief.
The Unimaginable Act
The photo showed Emma with a drastically altered appearance. She had enlarged her chest, something we had never discussed or even considered. My mind raced as I tried to process the image. Why would she do this without talking to me first? We had always made decisions together, especially about something as significant as this.
I called her immediately, my heart pounding. “Emma, what is this? Why did you do this without telling me?” I demanded, struggling to keep my voice steady.
She responded casually, almost nonchalantly, “Oh, I thought it would be a nice surprise. Don’t you like it?”
Trust Shattered
Her nonchalant attitude only fueled my anger and confusion. “A surprise? Emma, this isn’t a new dress or a haircut. This is major surgery! How could you not discuss this with me?” My voice cracked with a mix of frustration and betrayal.
Her words stung. How could she dismiss my feelings so easily? It wasn’t just about the physical change; it was about the trust we had built over a decade of marriage. That trust was now in tatters.
The Decision
I spent the next few days in a haze, trying to understand why Emma had done this. I replayed our conversations in my head, searching for any hint or clue that might explain her decision. But there was nothing. She had acted impulsively, without any regard for my feelings or our relationship.
Emma and I parted ways, each of us trying to rebuild our lives. The pain of betrayal lingered, but with time, I began to heal. I learned the importance of communication and trust in a relationship and vowed never to let those principles be compromised again.
In the end, the lesson was clear: in any relationship, no matter how strong it seems, trust and communication are the pillars that hold it together. Without them, even the strongest bonds can crumble.
