A video from a wedding in Upstate NY has been melting hearts across the country after the groom's 4-year-old son became overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears and hugged his new stepmom.

Joshua and Emily Newville, both U.S. Marines stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, NJ, got married at Quincy Cellars in Ripley, New York, this weekend. During the ceremony, Newville read out a special set of vows she made for Joshua's son, Gage.

Gage became emotional, and broke down into tears before wrapping his arms around Emily, then his father, as the adoring crowd looked on. Watch the video below.

"I may not have given you the gift of life, but life surely gave me the gift of you."

Joshua and Emily had been dating for two years before they got engaged, and Emily told a local CBS affiliate that her relationship with Gage has been "nothing short of perfection."

"I wanted to involve him because when I was vowing to be Josh's wife I was also vowing to be his stepmom. I wanted him to feel special and to remind him of how much he means to me," she said.

Gage did not know there were going to be special vows for him before the ceremony.

"He totally caught us all off guard but he made our big day 100 times better," Joshua said.

Joshua, a Marine Corps. Sergeant, and Emily, a Senior Airman, are both still on active military duty. Due to their commitment to serve, they will not take a honeymoon, and will return to base in just a few days, according to WTVD-TV.

Read the transcript of Emily's vows to Gage below:

"I want you to be safe, and to try your hardest and to be a good person. Don't cry. I know that you and I will butt heads, but I hope with all my heart that as you become a growing man you will understand my methods and realize I have only done what is best for you and that I love you. The last thing that I hope you learn is that you are a very special boy. You 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."
