Brian got choked up while reading, and the precious moment had the guests in tears. Many parents can relate the sweet promises he made.
- "I promise to always hold your hand and skip with you down the street.
Bring comfort to your life. I vow to make you say your prayers before you eat.
I promise to read you stories at night, to always tuck you in real tight.
I vow to show you how a man should treat a woman in my relationship with your mother.
And above all else, I vow to protect you, care for you and love you forever."
Whitney told ABC that she had no doubt she would include her daughter in her wedding, which took place in January 2014.
"Brielle is such a huge part of both our lives it would have never crossed our minds not having her in the ceremony," she said. "At the point she had really molded who we were as a couple and as parents."
She had nothing to do with the special moment that has everyone talking, she said.
"It was all Brian's idea to write the vows for Brielle as well as get her her own little pink diamond ring!" she said.
Brian had to pause a few times to collect himself, and the guests could all tell how much Brian meant what he said.
"There wasn't a dry eye in the whole room," Whitney said. "Seeing his genuine love her was so heartwarming."
Brian and Brielle have had a father-daughter relationship ever since Brielle -- now four -- was one, Whitney said.
What makes it even cuter? The Scott family has gotten even bigger since the wedding. Brielle now has a 3-month-old brother, "JoJo."
Though the video has gone viral more than a year after their wedding, the Scotts are grateful to see something positive getting shared, she said.
She hopes the video will "bring hope to anyone who feels hopeless," she said. "God has a beautiful plan for everyone."
