Derek and Katie Smith, two Americans, celebrated their wedding towards the end of November 2019, during which the young girl prepared a magnificent gift for her husband, capturing the attention of all the ceremony guests.
The surprise turned out to be so touching that Derek couldn’t hold back his feelings and burst into tears in front of everyone.
But the spectators were also compelled to reach for tissues in their pockets, as behind the bride’s gift lies a whole story that deeply moved the groom.
In truth, Derek had a brother named Jake who passed away at the age of 12. His disappearance was due to a road accident where he was hit by a vehicle.
This loss had a considerable impact on him, and throughout his life, Derek couldn’t believe that what had happened was a reality.
The boy’s family made the decision to donate his organs to those in need.
Thus, his brother’s heart was given to a young girl named Gracie. Katie, of course, knew this story, so just before the wedding, she came up with the idea of making this day even more special and pleasant.
She was determined to find this person and invite her to the wedding ceremony so that Derek could listen to his brother’s heart.
Gracie was delighted with this contact and declared that she would be thrilled to participate in the wedding.
On the wedding day, the girl came to the designated place and was introduced to Derek by Katie, who told him that his brother’s heart was beating inside her.
Then she handed the groom a stethoscope so he could hear those sounds. His emotions are impossible to describe…
