The 31-year-old bride was standing with her father, Andy Collins, all set to walk down the aisle, when her father interrupted the moment. The 58-year-old man, a train driver, left his daughter's side and darted toward her stepfather, Jeff Bennett. He grabbed Bennett's hand and led him to the bride's side so they could walk her down the aisle together.

"Jeff didn't know it was coming either - you can tell in the video the shock on Jeff's face. I knew how much it meant to him," Amy said, referring to the video where she was seen escorted by the two important men in her life.
