Song by a 12-year-old Boy as His Parents Renewed Their Vows Has the internet in Tears
Every couple wants their wedding to be the most memorable day of their lives when they make a lifelong commitment. While most revisit that big day through pictures or gestures on anniversaries, some couples reiterate their commitment to each other by renewing vows all over again in the presence of new people who have joined their life since they began this journey. In many cases, it is done in front of a couple's children, making the day even more special. One such wedding was highlighted in a video shared by TikToker @chasingabundance, showing a young boy singing his own rendition of "You Are the Reason" to celebrate his parents renewing their vows. Danielle Tufano, the videographer of the event uploaded the video on social media and it went viral, as per GMA. The video captioned, "The bravest son singing for his parents' vow renewal," has racked up almost 21 million views.
The video reached Calum Scott the original singer behind the track who wrote, "THIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL!! True emotion. You killed it, buddy!" The video focuses on the boy Aiden with the mic as he is overcome with emotions on several occasions while singing for his parents. But despite that he kept at it, giving his parents and guests a performance to remember. "I was very nervous being in front of that many people," Aiden recalled to GMA. "But I was very excited and happy at the same time to be there at the wedding, to sing for my parents," he added.
About the reason behind picking the song, Aiden said, "I chose the song because I find it really sentimental and it was very sweet." He went on to add, "I love my parents so that's why I decided to choose that song to sing at the wedding." Aiden's mom Kemorene Mills-Armstrong loved the performance to bits. She told the outlet that there were many teary eyes, including hers, at the event because of her son's singing. "When he started, I was very emotional," the proud mom of three told GMA. "From the beginning, it was very emotional, and then you heard all the guests in the background. They were crying so I got even more teary-eyed. I had to be looking up because all of the tears would be flooding down. So it was a very special moment," she explained.
The 12-year-old's singing talent comes as no surprise to the family since he loves singing for them and has been taking lessons. Apart from Calum Scott, he has been a huge fan of artists like Bruno Mars and Charlie Puth. The mother also shared her version of the video clip which features their whole family.
Users in the comment section loved the boy's gift to his parents. @yourmanicmama wrote that it is something that the parents will remember forever, "What an amazing core memory!! To have your child sing at your vow renewal!!" @seanbizhop appreciated the boy's talent and commented, "He fought through that better than most professional adult singers can, and kept making beautiful sounds."
