Groom saved every photo with his girlfriend, only to hoist a mammoth surprise his bride could 'feel'
'This is insane,' says Grace, as she goes on to kiss Brayden.
Personalizing wedding outfits may not be a rare sight, but this groom's unique way of representing his love life through his wedding suit has moved the internet to tears. On his wedding day, Brayden Gainey decided to surprise his bride, Grace Gainey, with a memorable gift through his wedding outfit that left her awestruck. The heartwarming interaction shared on Instagram (@itschampagnesocial) between the newlyweds will surely captivate anyone watching.
On Brayden and Grace's big day, the groom invited his to-be wife to show her a surprise he had made for her. In the video captured and shared by @itschampagnesocial on their social media handle, the groom opens his suit to show his bride the customized inside prints of his suit. The inside of his jacket showcases all the beautiful photos captured throughout their relationship in black and white print. Grace, who was surprised by the reveal, takes a look at the photos through his suit and tells him that though she was anticipating a surprise, she wasn't sure what the surprise would be. "This is insane," says Grace, as she goes on to kiss Brayden. Sharing the video online, the post was captioned, "When he wears your whole love story on your wedding day."
A 2023 study by Adam K. Fetterman and Nicholas D. Evans noted that "romantic nostalgia" finds that thinking back on early shared experiences, such as a first date or, by extension, wedding memories or photos, helps in strengthening a relationship. By showcasing his love for his bride through their memorable photos printed on his wedding suit, the couple was able to establish a heartwarming gift to cherish. Brayden and Grace's video reminds us of the heartfelt gift bride Kelly Anne Ferraro had presented for her blind groom, Anthony Ferraro.
During their first appearance, Kelly decided to work with her designers to create a gown that had rich details such as velvet bands, chiffon, lace, and soft embroidered flowers. On the wedding day, Anthony was only allowed to touch the dress when Kelly walked down the aisle. As he traced the textures with his hands, he said his "mind was blown," felt he could "see" his bride, and was moved to tears. Kelly's sweet gesture of empathy and love echoes the beauty of their bond.
Soon after Brayden and Grace's video went viral, many users shared their thoughts. @kaymayxoxo wrote, "Awe.

What a touching idea." @purpletreephotography shared, "These details are the best surprises. Something to always look back on."
