To fill the huge void created by the death of Andrea’s loving father, her brother planned a heartfelt, first-dance tribute on her big day.

During the reception, he took the mic ahead of what would have been the father-bride first dance and said: “We’re missing someone pretty important this evening that would be, obviously, here for the dance with his little girl.”
