Opera singer leaves everyone awestruck at cousin's wedding by breaking into surprise performance

Wedding surprises from loved ones are special memories that couples cherish for a lifetime as they look back on their big day. It becomes even more special if someone plans a performance crafted for the couple. That's what an opera singer did when he surprised his cousin for the latter's wedding with a personalized performance. The singer, Jason Berger, who goes by @jasonberger05 on TikTok, later shared the moment on the platform.

"I decided to surprise my cousin at his wedding in Brazil by singing 'Nessun Dorma,'" the text overlay read as the couple is seen walking down the aisle in the video. They come up to the altar, surrounded by exciting family members looking eager for their big moment, and just when the couple is about to step up, Berger starts his opera performance and goes all out as he performs for his cousin. While everyone at the wedding was excited about the celebration and his performance, the video was met with the same level of appreciation online.

It received over 148,600 views and more than 11,100 likes. "We were touring around the bride's hometown and she asked me the day before the wedding if I wanted to sing something. Opera is what I am trained in and I know the song plays to my strong suits," the man revealed in an interview with Newsweek. "My cousin and many of the guests told me they had no idea I was able to sing like that and several told them that it made them emotional. It was a surprise because my cousin didn't know I was going to sing, but his bride did," the singer shared, sharing that many people in his family were not aware of his talent before this performance.

The man designed the performance specifically for his cousin and the bride. "It meant the world to be able to sing at his wedding as he is my only first cousin, and the reason I love to sing is because I want to contribute in a positive way to the community around me. If I can brighten someone's day through my abilities, that is amazing," the man expressed. People took to the comments section of the video to appreciate the man's beautiful performance and thoughtful gesture. @lisaweeshirt wrote, "It would have been criminal if you hadn’t sung this beautiful gift to your cousin/family. You are absolutely phenomenal."

@lady_j_repeat commented, "People, please take note, if you do not sound like this man, like someone who can actually sing. Do NOT do this at a wedding! This was amazing!" @itsjustwithers shared, "This brought such a tear to my eye. This was my Grandad’s favorite song, and we played it at his funeral a few years ago. Thank you for bringing back all the fond memories I have of him." @berniclt2gf remarked, "I cried when you got the top note... my dad loved this song and loved when someone could reach the note. Well done, you sounded brilliant."
