The bride leaves an empty seat for her deceased son, unable to stop crying when she sees who is sitting there. After Becky tragically lost her 19-year-old son, her future husband gave her the best surprise ever at their wedding.
A bride named Becky received the most wonderful surprise from her future husband on their wedding day. As a mother, Becky lived through her worst nightmare when she lost her son Triston at the tender age of 19.
At that time, his heart, along with other organs, was donated to those in need.
Although Becky was in great emotional turmoil, she soldiered on, and two years later, she had the opportunity to marry Kelly, the man of her dreams.
At their wedding, she planned the sweetest surprise ever that left her in tears she simply couldn’t control.
At their wedding, Becky and Kelly had reserved an empty seat in loving memory of her late son.
They placed a sign on the seat that read: “I am in heaven for your wedding, so what do I do? I’ll come down to Earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just one empty chair.
You might not see me, but I’ll be there.” While this message was touching in itself, Kelly had something even more poignant in mind.
Just before the wedding ceremony, the affectionate groom let Becky know that there was someone she had to meet. At that moment, a 21-year-old man named Jacob appeared, and Becky knew exactly who he was.
Two years ago, Becky’s son had donated his heart to Jacob. The heart recipient had flown from San Diego to be there for her special day.
It’s no surprise that the beautiful bride couldn’t help but collapse and cry uncontrollably. She even listened to her deceased son’s heartbeat with a stethoscope.
Becky couldn’t contain her excitement; she jumped up and down as her guests cried tears of happiness. Her story went viral when shared on the Facebook social media platform. As a result, her journey touched thousands of hearts worldwide.
Judith Cleek commented: “This speaks volumes about her new husband. What a wonderful display of care and love, so touching and moving.” Helen Burnett added:
“This is such a beautiful thing… An act of selfless love… It shows us that all things are possible… God bless this family.”
Tara Sorensen observed: “Why can’t we have a single news channel dedicated to sharing positive and uplifting stories like this?
There is so much kindness and goodness in the world that could evoke the same if only it were shared.”
While Becky and Kelly had to say goodbye to Triston, this is a moment they will cherish forever as they continue to love and support each other in the face of loss and adversity.
