The Wedding Day Setup

Kristie Mihelich (née King) and Bobby Mihelich tied the knot at the Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, Michigan. It wasn't the traditional "I dos" that captured everyone's attention; it was the adorable reaction from their 2-year-old son, Pierson. As captured in photos by Orange Blossom Photography and a viral video, Pierson couldn't contain his excitement when he saw his mother at the end of the aisle. He shouted "Hey, Mom!" and waved his hands, causing everyone to laugh.This moment was truly special, as it became the highlight of the big day and left their friends and family in awe. Kristie was shocked by Pierson's reaction as he had been reluctant to participate in the rehearsal dinner the night before. But on the wedding day, he couldn't wait to give his mom a hug and walked down the aisle with her.

Pierson's Inner Thoughts

Kristie isn't sure exactly what was going through Pierson's head, but she suspects he was simply amazed by seeing her dressed so fancy. "I really think he was like, 'Oh, Mom, you're dressed up. You're not in jammies.' It was probably just like, 'You look so pretty.' I don't know," she surmises. She continues to explain that Pierson didn't understand the whole concept of walking down the aisle and hadn't seen her in a while since the first look.Later in the day, when Pierson served as the ring bearer and saw his mom during the first look, his reaction was equally adorable. His mouth dropped, and the bridesmaids were in tears. This moment showed the deep bond between mother and son.

The Aftermath and Growth

Pierson, now 5, is even closer to his mother today. "Oh my gosh, I just feel like our bond has grown so much stronger since then," Kristie tells PEOPLE. "He's definitely a mama's boy." Although Pierson has seen the viral video a few times and is aware he was on TV, he doesn't fully understand its significance. "He can't believe he was on TV and sometimes it'll even kind of pop up on my phone and he just can't believe it," Kristie says.Even during the evening, Pierson continued to amaze guests with his dance moves. "He literally danced the entire night on the dance floor afterward," Kristie says. This shows that his personality and charm continued to shine throughout the day.
