When groom Jimmy was reading his vows to his new wife, Kelsea, at Durham Hill Farm in Pipersville, PA, he also made sure to include his new stepdaughter, Olivia, in the wedding ceremony. According to photographer Abigail Gingerale, everyone was in tears as they listened to what Jimmy had to say to Olivia.

He told her, “Olivia, from this day forward, I promise to remind you every day how truly loved you are. I promise to teach, guide, respect you for the rest of our days. I promise to never treat anything less than my own child. I’m very happy to say that you’re my daughter. From this day forward, you will truly be my daughter and the other love of my life. I love you, Olivia.”

Naturally, a warm and sentimental embrace from both Jimmy and Kelsea followed.
