Bride's Brothers Step In After Their Dad Refuses To Attend Her Same-Sex Wedding—And It's Everything

TikTokers Cyn & Tessa posted about how Tessa father's refused to attend their wedding due to his conservative religious beliefs—so when it came to the traditional father-daughter dance, her brothers came to the rescue.

Weddings are stressful enough before even factoring in the feelings of everyone else involved.

The months of planning and getting everything absolutely perfect down to the last detail is overwhelming in and of itself (don't get us wrong, totally worth the trouble).


But every wedding also has its drama, though usually it can be bandaided with a quick chat or a couple of rounds of bubbly.

There are, however, conflicts that just won't blow over...like if someone you love dearly doesn't approved of the union in the first place.

TikTokers Cyn and Tessa (@cynandtessa) experienced exactly this when Tessa's father refused to attend their same-sex wedding.

In a now-viral video posted by the couple, the TikTok explains in its text overlay:

"My father-in-law is very religious, and he did not attend our wedding."

The video shows wedding day footage of the brides walking hand in hand.

It continued:

"My wife was devastated, but she tried not to show it."

But when it came time for the traditional father-daughter dance, Tessa can be seen dancing with a man, obviously not her father.

The TikTokers then revealed:

"In lieu of the father-daughter dance, her brothers stepped in for sibling dance."
"This is her older brother Guillermo."

As the video shows another man dancing with the bride, the text read:

"Here comes little bro and my wife's best friend, Diego...it was beautiful and meant a lot to us."

The last clip shows a photo of the bride with her two brothers.

"When my father-in-law decided not to attend our wedding, our siblings stepped up."

It's such a shame that Tessa's father couldn't be there to support her on the happiest day of her life, but we're so happy she has a beautiful support system in her brothers and new wife.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Elizabeth Warren Rips Education Secretary's Mind-Numbing Video For 'Teacher Appreciation Week'

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Education Secretary Linda McMahon for paying tribute to educators during "Teacher Appreciation Week," noting the hypocrisy of McMahon's actions as she honors teachers on one hand and works to dismantle the Department of Education on the other.

In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order empowering McMahon “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities.”

Town Hall Crowd Erupts In Jeering Chants After GOP Rep. Has Older Woman Dragged Out

New York Republican Representative Mike Lawler has angered his own constituents after he had a woman dragged out of his town hall for pressing him on his loyalty to President Donald Trump.

Emily Feiner, whose Bluesky profile describes her as a Jewish retired social worker and mother of two, later shared that she "was certainly no threat" and that she "asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed."
