Bride's Late Mom Painted Into Stunning Wedding Portrait

An emotional bride fought back tears when she looked at the work of a live portrait artist on her wedding day and saw how her late mom had been painted into the work. When bride Daniella Apa Giansante, 27, initially hired Catarina Cruzeiro to paint her wedding day, Daniella's mom, Jennifer, was involved in the planning and looking forward to the big day. But Daniella and her family were left crushed when Jennifer passed away from a sudden and unexpected heart attack, aged 58. Jennifer's passing was extremely tough on Daniella, and it left a "huge hole in my heart," she said. And so, ahead of Daniella's big day, on September 28, she asked Catarina if she could somehow include her mom in the finished work. Following the ceremony, at St. Jude Roman Catholic Church in Woodbridge in Ontario, Canada, Catarina got to work on her painting, which she captured on video as it came to life. The finished work saw Daniella's husband, Anthony, 28, kissing the bride in an empty church, with no guests in the pews. But there, at one end of the aisle, a person stood proudly, their hands clasped as they smiled at the couple. That addition was Jennifer, and as soon as Daniella headed over to see Catarina's work, tears immediately began to form in her eyes. The moment was captured on video, and after it was later shared on social media, the clip soon went viral, garnering more than 10 million views.
