A father-of-the-bride took the opportunity to interrupt his daughter's wedding entrance so both he and her stepdad could walk her down the aisle. When it comes to big family events, stepparents can sometimes be overlooked, but that doesn't mean that their part in raising a child is any less significant. Now, one heartwarming video has gone viral on social media after a bride's father took the time to show some recognition and appreciation to his daughter's stepdad. The video was shared to TikTok by user Kelsey Griffith (<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@griffithk5/">@griffithk5</a>), who captioned the touching post: "My dad surprised my stepdad by including him in our walk down the aisle." Watch the moment below (grab the tissues, you're gonna need them): [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@griffithk5/video/7013875799656795397]] The video shows Kelsey and her father walking down the aisle on her big day, but when they are halfway down, the father-of-the-bride reaches over to grab his daughter's stepfather. It appears as if her stepdad simply thinks he is reaching in for a handshake, but Kelsey's father pulls him into the aisle, and they both lock arms with her and continue walking her down the aisle. The three of them then proceed to the altar. After the video amassed over 5 million views on TikTok, people flooded to the comments section to praise the healthy family dynamic and congratulate the father for loving his Kelsey "unselfishly" one person wrote. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263133652" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-04-at-12.16.57-1024x226.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="226" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] A second commented: "Dad didn't make it about him.

Good job everyone." And a fifth added: "If this doesn't serve as a lesson to all divorced and or additional parents, I don't know what does. Congrats to all of you. More parents could learn!"
