15-year-old surprises his sister with a wedding dance and there’s not a dry eye anywhere

Weddings are often catalysts for happy tears, but sometimes an extra special moment or gesture pushes it into “everybody grab a tissue” territory.

This video is one of those. Don’t say we didn’t warn ya.

Avery Albrecht shared a clip from her wedding reception in which her baby brother asked her for a dance. But Albrecht had no idea what kind of surprise the 15-year-old and her parents had in store for her. As the music begins, we hear children’s voices singing—the two of them singing Phil Collins’ “You’ll Be in My Heart” together as children. And then the real song begins, with the bride and her brother—along with everyone watching—in a puddle.

Watch all the way to the end:


“There wasn’t a dry eye in the house,” Albrecht shared. There doesn’t appear to be a dry eye on the internet, either.

“Stop it!! It’s 4 am in Sydney, and I’m a 43-year-old man sobbing while hiding under a blanket with my wife and 2 kids on the same bed, 😭” shared one person. “Family is the most important precious thing in the world!! ❤️”

“I went from cracking up about a stupid Hello Kitty video to sobbing in under three minutes. That must be so confusing to my central nervous system,” shared another.

“I have to stop watching these things at work… people are thinking I am depressed, 😂” wrote another.

Some people shared how much it reminded them of their close sibling relationships:

“One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen. And being a much older big sister of littles (not little anymore by a long shot), I know the exact place this came from.”

“I don’t know if she’ll read this but sweetheart you are so lucky! Please give your baby brother a hug for me. I lost my little brother 19 years ago this past June while I was pregnant with my first born son. I named him after him. And miss him so very much. 😢❤️”

“My little brother had a severe case of cerebral palsy and Down syndrome. He’s gone, but as I am watching this video, I can’t stop wondering what my life would be if he was healthy and still around… same about my older sister, who had also passed away. Crying my heart out now.”

“Awwwwwwwe! The sweetest! You can tell how close you both are! Me and my sister are 12 years apart and she got married when I was 12 and she moved out and I had THE HARDEST time and cried almost everyday for a month!! ! I still would go over to her house and spend the night all the time… and then when she had children I became the built in babysitter for my nieces and nephew (also my fave ppl on the planet) She’s always was and still my very best friend. ♥️♥️”

Here’s to the beautiful bond siblings can share, the families that nurture those bonds and this sweet brother-sister pair who gave us all the cleansing cry we needed.
