Bride Given Tearful Father-Daughter Dance at Wedding After Dad Passes Away (VIDEO)
The father-daughter dance is an emotional moment at any wedding reception, but Andrea Stocking's dance was especially heartwrenching because her father, Mark Middleton, had succumbed to pancreatic cancer just earlier that year.
In this 2012 video, Andrea's brother Nick Middleton announces that he's recorded the song "Butterfly Kisses" as a special surprise for his sister. Andrea is in shock. The song has history in their family as Mark and Andrea's sister Kristen danced to it at her wedding.
One by one, the men in Andrea's family come forward to dance in her father's place. Mark's father Gene starts, followed by her brothers Nick and Luke, closing with her new father-in-law Scott. This special dance went viral last year and has been viewed nearly 5 million times.
