“Our Dear Little Baby Brooke…”

It is an emotional day for any mother, watching her daughter get married.  But for Sherry Blackledge, it was particularly significant.

Sherry and her husband Craig had tried for years to conceive, before adopting a son, Brian, and 11 years later, a beautiful baby girl, Brooke.

When Brooke was about 18-months-old, her mum wrote her a letter. “Being adopted, I wanted her to know how much I loved her.”

Sherry stitched the letter on a piece of lace from her own wedding dress and gave it to Brooke before she was married.

You can watch moment here (if Mum’s gift doesn’t get you, her brother’s speech will):

If you don’t get a chance to watch the video (and trust us, you should), here’s what the letter said:

Sherry had kept that letter for over 20 years.

“I thought it would be extremely precious when she opened it up and read it on her wedding day,” she said

And boy was it.

Brooke absolutely loved it.

The sob-worthy moment, as well is the whole stunning wedding were captured by videographers The Film Poets.

So much love. All of the tears. Someone pass the tissues.
