5 brothers bring bride to tears with emotional father-daughter dance in honor of their late dad
A bride's siblings make a plan and give their sister a father/daughter dance she thought would be impossible.
Kaley West's father David Jean West passed away in 2015, and the young woman - the only girl in a family of 6 siblings - was particularly close to her father.
Kaley felt her loss even more deeply as she planned her wedding to Andy Young in 2018.
Kaley knew that her dream of dancing with her father at her wedding could never come true. Or could it?
Her 5 brothers decided to make a plan and their sweet surprise was posted on Facebook/WSYXABC6 and has garnered over 16 million views.

“I know people joke about having an out-of-body experience but that is what it truly was being in the middle of the ballroom and surrounded by my family, and my husband’s family, and our friends and people we care about with my brothers stepping up. It was an incredible moment.”

The brothers spliced the snippets of their father's voice talking to Kaley into Michael Bolton's “Fathers and Daughters” and the result was heartbreakingly beautiful.
