The wedding videographer, A Love Experience, captured the emotional moment on camera and then shared it to Instagram in January 2024. The heartwarming moment has since gone viral, gaining over 45,000 likes and tons of comments from people reacting to the moment.
"I want you to know, Kayden, that we're going [to] have fun. We're definitely going to do homework," the groom begins in the video. "But I want you to know that with everything in my body, Kayden, I'm going to pour into you to make sure that you grow up to be a young Black king that you are."
"I'm gonna teach you how to be a leader. I'm gonna teach you how to be a man of integrity, a man of respect, a man that values himself," he continues. "And most importantly, I'ma show you every single day what it looks like for a man to love a woman and to love his family and to lead his family so that when you grow up, you will know exactly what that looks like and you'll know exactly what that feels like. So I vow to you from this day forward that I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna teach you, I'm gonna guide you and I'm gonna pour into you because you are a king. And you're my king. I love you, man."
