“My name is Eric Lane, I am the father of the bride,” Eric began. “For some of you who don’t know her [his daughter] had a pretty terrible accident in 2008 when she spent 8 days in the ICU at Riley Hospital. “

“She’s had a lot of injuries and I’m not going to read them all but one of them is a collarbone fracture which is probably the least she’s had,” he continued.

While his daughter’s pain is understandable, Eric said he has found a unique way, as her father, to play a part in this traumatic experience.

“There’s a chest tube stuck in her body lung At that point and what we found out was that if the old dad just sat there and put his hand over her heart it would take the pressure off enough for her to be comfortable and rest.” he explained.

Lane later explained: “So I spent hours just sitting there, putting my hand over her heart to relieve the pressure and allow the chest tube not to press on the collarbone.”

The bride’s father ended his message by turning his attention to the groom with whom he was speaking directly with an important message. “Chad, it’s my turn,” he said. “You can put your hand on her heart.”

“I think it’s a very good symbol of what you can experience now that you can take care of her heart,” Eric continued. “You won’t love her more and she can’t love you. You two can only love and cherish each other.”

The video cuts between Eric and his daughter with loving words that make the bride cry while sitting next to her new husband.

According to wedding expert Jen Glantz at Brides, it’s important to bride’s father to embrace his feelings when speaking.

“Don’t feel the need to be harsh and showy. Be honest and admit how difficult it is to let your child go,” she wrote. “These admissions make for a touching moment, and we guarantee no one will have dry eyes in the room… today is the day when it’s totally possible to shed a tear.”
