This is the adorable moment the father-of-the-bride invited his daughter's stepdad to join them while walking down the aisle.

Bride Kelsey Griffith, 27, was accompanied by dad Jerry Ellenburg, 55, but he knew stepdad Andy Wallace, 60, was a big part of her life too, so beckoned him to join.

Kelsey, from Birmingham, Alabama, USA, said: "He was tearing up and emotional.

"He had no idea that was going to happen and he felt so honoured to be included in our wedding day.

"It showed how a family can be blended and still work.

"Both dads have always been there for me in so many ways.

"I’m so glad my dad shared such a moment with my stepdad."

Kelsey and her now-husband Zac Griffith, 29, met nine years ago and got engaged on a golf course in February 2019.

After having to postpone their wedding due to the pandemic, they finally arranged it for May 1 this year at a manor house in Westover, Alabama.

Lifestyle photographer Kelsey's parents divorced when she was seven, and her mum met stepdad Zac just three years later.

She said: "They got married when I was 13, so I have really grown up with my stepdad as well.

"I have been blessed to have a great relationship with my father and step father throughout my life.

"Both dads get along great, my friends were always surprised to hear how well they get along.

"They play golf together and my dad is always apart of all the holidays and birthdays."

At the rehearsal, dad Jerry told his daughter about his plan to invite up her stepfather Andy to join them and how he wanted to keep it a surprise.

She said: "I was nervous and excited because I wanted to make sure everything went smooth, but I also couldn’t wait to see Andy’s reaction.

"I actually thought my stepdad might figure it out because we sat them in a random spot in the middle so he could still walk most of the way with us.

"My mum moved to the front row once he started walking with us."

When the moment came for Kelsey to make her way down the aisle, Jerry went over to Andy and asked him to join them, which moved him to tears.

Kelsey said: "Afterwards, we got to hear how surprised my stepdad was and he was so thankful to my dad for including him.."
