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!

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.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.

MAGA Senator Gets Epic Reminder After He Shares Photo Of Himself On Vacation At Disney

Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott was called out for his hypocrisy after he proudly showed off a photo of himself at a Disney park amid TMZ's efforts to put members of Congress on blast for taking vacations during the partial government shutdown.

The shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now the longest in history at more than 50 days and stretches on without an agreement between the House and the Senate now that lawmakers have left Washington for Easter break; neither chamber is set to return to Washington until the week of April 13.
