A viral video circulating the web shows NASCAR driver Brian Scott on his wedding day, reciting sweet vows to his then three-year-old step-daughter.
The footage was recorded in January 2014, but continues to affect the over 5.8 million people who have watched the video.
Scott and his wife, Whitney Kay, met in 2011 through mutual friends, and he eventually proposed during a family vacation in Cabo, Mexico.
The couple married at the Shore Lodge resort in McCall, Idaho, and Kay's daughter from a previous relationship, Brielle, had an active role.
In addition to serving as flower girl, she had her own diamond ring, and heard vows from her stepfather.
Scott kneeled down to the child's eye level, and promised to hold her hand, skip with her down the street, and bring comfort to her life.
"I vow to make you say your prayers before you eat," he continued. "I promise to read you stories at night and to always tuck you in real tight.
"I vow to show you how a man should treat a woman in my relationship with your mother. And above all else, I vow to protect you, care for you and love you forever," he said, fighting back tears.
Scott, 27, said he was surprised by how emotional he became while reciting vows to the toddler.
"I always felt like my vows to my wife Whitney would maybe affect me more and I would get more choked up during those, making those promises to her," he told the Huffington Post.
"But I misread that one. It was really when I was reading my vows to Brielle that I got the most choked up."
The family lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with a now four-year-old Brielle, and a baby boy, Joseph. The couple welcomed their son in November 2014.
