Weddings bring families together and create memories that last forever. For this couple, their special day became even more unforgettable.

The sweet moment happened right there at the reception. The bride and groom were sitting at the front of the room. Everything seemed normal. Then someone stood up and started singing.

You could see it on their faces. The couple had no clue what was happening. They looked shocked. But they just went with it and let the moment unfold.

Then something amazing happened. More guests started standing up. One by one, they joined in the singing. Soon there were several people singing together.

They performed the beautiful song ‘Stand By Me.’ The whole thing was captured on video and posted to YouTube.

Ben E. King co-wrote ‘Stand By Me’ with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and first performed it in 1961. The song talks about staying loyal to someone through thick and thin.

It promises to stand beside someone no matter what happens. That message fits perfectly for a couple just starting their marriage.

Verse of the Day

“[The Day of the Lord] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,”

2 Peter 3:10-11
