In a deeply emotional ceremony, 29-year-old Aniyah Gordon found a unique way to include her late mother in one of the most significant moments of her life. Despite the absence of her mother, Aichia Divine Stanislaus, who passed away from a heart attack in 2021, Gordon managed to feel her presence through a cherished voicemail message recorded years ago. This touching moment was captured on video and has since garnered widespread attention online, resonating with millions of viewers worldwide.
Gordon’s decision to play her mother’s voicemail during the wedding was both poignant and personal. The recording, filled with words of encouragement and love, provided the reassurance she needed on her special day. As the bride stood at the end of the aisle next to what appeared to be her father, the sound of her mother’s voice brought tears to her eyes and touched the hearts of everyone present. The heartfelt message included phrases like “I love you so much” and “You make me proud every day,” which left an indelible mark on all who witnessed it.
The night before the wedding, Gordon made the decision to share this treasured memory with her guests. She sent the voicemail to the DJ, ensuring that only she knew about the planned moment. While it was emotionally charged, it was not unexpected for her. Instead, it offered her the comfort and strength she sought. Gordon and her mother had a close bond, often described as "besties," and their relationship was characterized by deep affection and mutual support.

Another user simply added, “Girl we all crying.” The video has been viewed nearly 7 million times and received more than a million likes, showing how universally relatable and impactful such gestures can be.
Beyond the immediate audience, the video’s reach extended far and wide, touching many who have experienced loss.
