One of the joys of getting married is the precious moment between the bride and her father. And a video recently posted on social media by Hangin with Hayley shows just how important that bond is.
In the short video, the bride is getting ready to meet her groom to exchange vows. However, before the all-important ceremony begins, the video explains that the bride’s father has dementia and barely recognizes his daughter most of the time.
Thankfully, the daughter is not only very understanding of his condition, but also knows how to connect with her beloved dad.
The video explains that the pair shared an activity when the bride was a young girl, and when her father partakes in the same activity now, it often brings him momentarily back to reality.
