Aniyah Gordon surprised wedding guests by incorporating her late mother's poignant final voicemail message to her in her ceremony.

When attending someone's wedding, there are always going to be guests who wonder if the bride or groom will end up crying during the ceremony, but most do not expect the happy couple to make their friends and family cry.

But that's exactly what bride Aniyah Gordon did when she played a voicemail that she had saved, dating back to 2021, that she had received from her late mother, who died from a heart attack at the age of 41.


After her father walked her down the aisle, before he handed her away to her future husband, the voicemail was played for all to hear, her late mother's voice touching everyone in attendance.

The bride put her head back, trying to steady herself, while guests dried tears from their eyes as her mother said:

"I love you so much. You're such an awesome kid. You make me proud every day."

In the caption of the video, the bride wrote:

"Hearing my mom's voice on my wedding day was the reassurance I needed."

She also captioned what her father had whispered to her while she listened:

"My dad's whispering, 'I love you. You got this. I'm always gonna be here [for you].'"

Though a person's wedding day is already packed with emotions and is most certainly a day to remember on its own, wedding days can be made particularly special when they involve all of the most important loved ones in a person's life.

Everyone might have found themselves to be holding back tears in this moment, but with the positive message sent by the bride's late mother and all of the sweet memories it prompted of her, this was a beautiful way to keep her memory alive and to involve her on a day where she'd undoubtedly not want to be anywhere else.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.
