Crying over the brides that came in at the end 😭 she didn't have an arm either! That's so adorable, they found their perfect cake!

[BlissfulBluebell]

Notice how the abuser didn't show remorse or sadness when she fell. He only acted once he was pressured by everyone to do the right thing. Even if she weren't gay, she still needed to get away from him!
I also liked how the other guy was confused but eventually accepted and supported them. I see a lot of same-sex stories vilify the opposite gender and it's quite sad and tiring.

I also love the fact that many did not notice: the blonde girl did not get her arm fixed, something that I understood as "even if you're in a healthy relationship now, you still have scars and traumas from your abusive relationship"

[Sillylittleguyw]

I hope the other guy eventually gets his own cake topper because he was so nice

[diversityvideos]

I love how the one man realized that the other guy needed to be stopped. It made me so happy to see the two women getting on the cake together and being so loving to eachother, it was just beautiful

[seepykinq]

i love the extreme contrast in the two relationships at the beginning. one was extremely toxic and downright abusive and the other one was much more caring; at first he didn't fully understand but after seeing the two girls fighting together for what they wanted, he understood and let her go without a fight. loved everything about this, down to the last detail! <3

THE THORNS ON THE CAKE SYMBOLIZING TOXIC LOVE…OMG

[mattinscratch]

I adore how the nervous groom wasn’t painted as evil. Just hesitant and confused.

[Bonnie_Mairead]

I like how the one groom is super angry, but then the other one is just mostly confused, and all he knows is that he cares about the one bride, so he's willing to let her go and get with the other bride because he knows that's what she needs most. Like he's confused, and willing to understand, and because he loves her, he's willing to let their situation change because he's supportive.

[unknownguy]

I don’t know why but I really hope that the man who supported his bride’s relationship is doing alright or found someone else and is happy.

[BerryUnscathed]

1:45 I just love how he wasn’t even mad, he just didn’t know what he did wrong 😭

[Eco-wxjd]

The fact that the nicer boyfriend was hesitant at first and saved them was such a box character arch! I love them!

[ethan]

I love how the brunettes husband accepted them for who they were

[esmeraytv]

I immediately started crying when i saw the two women who look exactly like them come in at the end. This was so beautiful and well made. I can't express how happy it makes me

[LuluWizLovesLife]

Watching this reminded me of one of my closest friends. Her mother was married to a man who was abusive towards her when my friend was born. The final straw for them was actually my friend's mother falling in love with a young woman. Who helped her leave her abusive husband. My friend now has two absolutely wonderful mothers.

End credits are the cutest part about this! The couple getting married choosing the cake is just such a cute thing to add.

All I wanna say is, thank you. Not for the LGBT representation but for the disability representation. The blonde woman has the same disability as me, same arm, same look, and it's something that is not common to see in media and I'm really thankful for that.

Edit: 1) Thanks to the creator for putting a heart on the comment and to all the likes! ❤ 2) Sorry for my wording, English isn't my first language but I only wanted to get the point across that although I'm thankful for the LGBT representation, it's the main point of the video and I thought it would be obvious to point out, sorry if it sounded weird.

That one groom will be on his own cake. When a single guy wants to binge eat cake because he's single, they would have the perfect cake.

[vatreox]

Poor guy (the nice groom) lost his girl but knew he can’t control love, respect to him

[toky_archiv]

the nicer yet confused groom is really caring. he loves his other half and is willing to let her go for her happiness
