When Brooke Zugg was just 18 months old, her adoptive mother wrote her a simple and loving letter but she wasn’t allowed to open it yet. In the video, Sherry explains, ”Being adopted, I wanted her to know how much I loved her. And I thought it would be extremely precious when she opened it up and read it on her wedding day.” WARNING: You WILL need tissues.

 

On March 7, 2015 Brooke tied the knot with Tyler Zugg in Mississippi. Wedding videographers The Film Poets caught the moment when the bride finally read the words her parents Sherry and Craig Blackledge wrote 20 years ago.

To make it even more special, the mother of the bride had the letter printed onto a piece of her own wedding dress.

December 15, 1994  Our Dear Little Baby Brooke,

 

As I write this you are sleeping soundly in your baby bed. You are 18 months old.
We just want you to know how very much love and happiness you have brought to us. You have made us a truly great family. A little precious baby girl to me and Daddy and a baby sister to Brian.
Before me and Daddy were married we always said we wanted a little boy and a little girl. When we were dating, we said if we had a little girl she would be a little Brooke. You are our little Baby Brooke.
Brooke, we just want you to know that you are very special to us and that God picked you extra special and he sent you to Mommy, Daddy and Brian.
We love you
Mommy and Daddy
