When Sophia De La Cruz’s little sister was set to attend a daddy-daughter dance, her fiancé, Will, stepped up to the plate after their father recently passed away. In a sweet video posted to TikTok, Cruz showed her fiancé getting dressed in a suit and tie, in preparation to take Cruz’s little sister to the dance. As he put his suit jacket on, another video shows Cruz’s little sister sitting at her vanity, putting makeup on for the special night. The text in the video read, “POV: You lost your dad almost 3 years ago so your fiancé steps in to take your little sister to the daddy daughter dance.” The sweet video plays with the song “Slipping Through My Fingers” playing in the background. She captioned the video, “Literally sobbing making this. I have the best almost-husband.”

The video, which has gone viral with almost 29 million views, has melted everyone’s hearts. The top comment reads, “Oh honey you found THE man.” Another comment from one of the family members revealed that Will actually wore her father’s tie to the dance. “Your dad would be so proud!,” the comment read. “Love that he wore dad’s tie. I so wish that he knew him. He would have been in love with him.” Cruz responded saying, “I just know in another life they’re very best friends.” Many people commented on how great of a father he will be one day, and he already is one. One TikTok user commented, “He’s gonna be a great father.” Cruz responded saying, “He already is! The baby at the end is ours.” Will was able to create a special memory for his fiancé’s little sister, one that she will never forget.
