A couple left their loved ones bawling and breathless during a video call. Not only did they surprise them with something, but rather someone and their family and friends were beyond confused as to how they hadn't known about this all along.
At 30 years old, Alexis DelChiaro VanHooser and her husband Gabriel VanHooser said their "I do's." Since then, they have had three children, but the journey to parenthood was not your run-of-the-mill.
Alexis suffered from miscarriages, after which the couple went through a variety of treatments that didn't work, so they eventually adopted.
