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.
Your Brain Will Tell Your Secret When You See This Image
The brain is absolutely amazing and at times, we may not be using it to the full. That is why it is so important to ensure that you are exercising your mental abilities because it will pay off in the long run.
They often say that a picture is worth a thousand words but sometimes we may look at an image and determine there is more behind it that we may have first thought.
That is the case with this image that is an abstract stain and an unusual pattern. When you look at it, you may see one thing but somebody else may see something else. Letting us know what you see first tells us a lot about whether you are a left brained or right brained individual.
If you see a hot air balloon, you are more of a left brained individual. This means that you think logically and you tend to analyze every portion of what you are seeing. You aren’t afraid to look for detail.
If you see a jellyfish, you may be more of a right brained individual. These are people who are more creative and use their intuition to think outside of the box. You often have an artistic and visual skill that others don’t have.
The left brain versus right brain is nothing new. People in the psychology field have been talking about it for years because they realize that different sections of the brain produce different thoughts and thought patterns.
So what jumped out at you when you first saw the image? Are you a left brain or right brain person and more importantly, does this describe you?
