Bride's dad dies before wedding: First dance at reception was with grandfather

Even though the wedding for a bride took place during the summer, "Inside Edition" aired on Thursday, February 7 a video filmed and edited by LaFrance Films of the first dance at the wedding reception.

Andrea's dad, Mark, died earlier in the year from pancreatic cancer. Thinking she had no partner for the father-daughter dance, Andrea had an overwhelming surprise.

Her brother made an announcement that he had recorded himself singing "Butterfly Kisses" because that was their father's favorite song. When the song began to play, Andrea's grandfather escorted her to the dance floor for a very emotional dance.

Then Andrea's brother, Luke, danced with her, followed by her other brother, Scott.

Andrea's new father-in-law completed the dance as the song came to an end.

One cannot help but see the love those men had for the bride whose father couldn't be there with her on that special day.

It was a very touching dance, and there was not a dry eye in the house.

Watch the video and have your tissues ready.
