Watch a groom cry happy tears at a 3-letter word from his stepdaughter on his wedding day

A three-letter word from his stepdaughter brought Vincent to tears on his wedding day.

Vincent, who's also dad to four boys, had become a father figure to 7-year-old London, but she'd never called him "Dad." However, that changed at the reception following his wedding to her mom.

As they shared a father-daughter dance, London leaned in and whispered the word Vincent had longed to hear, and it melted his heart.

“There were no thoughts, just a rush of emotions,” Vincent said of that moment. After the wedding, he shared that his bond with London had completely transformed.

“London gave me a perspective I wasn’t equipped with,” he reflected. “Life has changed for me - I'm now more intentional about connecting with each of my kids individually and making sure I set an example I’m proud for them to follow.”
