Weddings are those sparkling moments when you get to see love and family come together in the most beautiful way, right? Well, Shylah May's wedding plans have added an extra dash of special to the mix. She's not just planning a wedding; she's weaving her family story into every part of her big day. And the cherry on top? She's asked her stepdad, Ralph Kenyon, to officiate her wedding.
Shylah, a lovely bride-to-be from California, shared this touching moment on TikTok, and let me tell you, it's the kind of stuff that makes you believe in the magic of family. With her fiancé, Trevor Farrow, by her side, Shylah gave Ralph the surprise of a lifetime during Christmas. Imagine this: you're unwrapping your Christmas presents, and then bam, you find out you're going to play a huge role in your stepdaughter's wedding. And the words Shyla included in the request, “you showed me what kind of man l deserve in my life”, couldn't be more perfect.
Shylah's video quickly racked up 1.5 million views in just a day. Speaking to GMA, she got the idea to ask Ralph after attending a wedding where the bride's father was both the aisle-walker and officiant. She knew right then that she wanted the same for her wedding. Ralph has been a rock in her life, having stepped in as her father figure since she was just six. He's been there through thick and thin – from coaching her in softball to teaching her how to drive. So, when it came to choosing their officiant, Shylah and Trevor knew Ralph was the perfect fit.
Ralph has been a part of Shylah's life for so long and has a close bond with Trevor too. It's clear that he's much more than just a stepdad; he's a pivotal part of their story.
And here's the icing on the cake: Shylah and Trevor are tying the knot in the breathtaking Tuscany, Italy, on September 12. Can you imagine a more romantic setting? Cheers to the beautiful journey ahead for this lovely family! 🥂✨
