When Kelsey was about to get married to Michael Kulick, she wanted to make her in-laws feel included in the wedding ceremony. Since both of Michael’s parents are deaf, Kelsey decided to learn sign language so she can sign her vows.

She made sure to run it by Michael to check if his parents would be fine with it, and he thought that they would love it.

But then, Michael “completely forgot” about it, so Kelsey grabbed the opportunity to make it a surprise for everyone.

Kelsey asked for help from one of Michael’s aunts, who is married to a deaf man.

She shared, “I basically just asked her if she could record herself signing my vows so that I could use it and practice it and know that I was doing the right signs. I used that for several weeks and practiced on my own.”

On their big day, her thoughtful gesture surprised everyone. Only two other people knew about the surprise: Michael’s aunt and the wedding videographer, Chandler Smith. The beautiful moment was captured and shared online.

Michael shared, “It took me a second to really realize that she was actually signing her vows. All my emotions caught up to me at once, and I just couldn’t contain myself. I thought it was really sweet. It really was probably the most special moment of the wedding besides us actually getting married and becoming husband and wife.”

“My parents thought it was super sweet. They kept on going on and on and on about how special Kelsey was and how special that moment was for them,” Michael added.

Kelsey shared that while the video has gone viral, it wasn’t attention that she was seeking. She genuinely wanted to do a show of respect for Michael’s family, and she will continue to do so for the coming years.

She plans to become fluent in sign language so she can communicate with her family and also teach their future kids.

“I want our family as a whole to be able to communicate without any barriers,” she declared.
