This emotional story was relayed in an advert for online travel agency Expedia. The clip amassed over 120,000 views since it was uploaded, 2 days ago.

Although it serves a commercial purpose, the story is as real as can be. The participants are real people, with real issues, that come together in this story about love and tolerance. Footage from an actual wedding was used during the making of this video.

Artie Goldstein and his daughter, Jill are the protagonists, dailydot.com informs. Goldstein is a retired businessman that had always envisioned his daughter getting married in a more conservative setting.

He makes the decision of getting over his preconceived notions about gay partnerships, and makes a step towards having a better relationship with his daughter, by flying out to attend her ceremony.

“This was a situation I had to come to understand. […] All that trepidation just sank away,” the man said.
