Little did the four-year-old know, however, that Leehan had written a set of vows especially for him. When she delivered them, with an already-emotional audience watching on, it all became a bit much for Gage to bear.\n

No sooner had Leehan began her recital, did Gage breakdown in floods of tears. As per the Daily Mail, Leehan began: \u201cI want you to be safe, and to try your hardest and to be a good person.\u201d\n

Before she could continue, however, Gage had thrown his arms around her and was lost to his emotions.\n

As was to be expected, a collective \u2018awwww\u2019 came from the audience as Leehan tried to compose him. \u201cDon\u2019t cry baby,\u201d she said, though at that point it\u2019s safe to say Gage could be forgiven for relaxing on his discipline.\n

\u201cThe last thing thing I hope you learn is that you are a special boy,\u201d Leehan went on to say. \u201cYou are so extremely smart, handsome, and kind to others. You have helped shape me into the woman that I am today and I may not have given you the gift of life, but life surely gave me the gift of you.\u201d\n

Somewhat unsurprisingly, both Leehan and Newville shed their own tears before they were able to finish up their vows. As for Gage \u2026 well, he did a mighty fine job of stealing the show; if not for his striking suit and doe-eyed stare as Leehan began her vows, but for a reaction that promises to steal hearts the world over.\n

According to US outlet, ABC7, newlyweds Leehan and Newville remained on active-duty immediately after the ceremony, and so were not able to head straight off for their honeymoon. Instead, they returned to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to begin married life.\n

Regardless, their ceremony was certainly one to remember. You can watch the video of Gage hearing Leehan\u2019s vows below \u2013 might want to grab the tissues for this one.\n
