There’s something uniquely moving about weddings that often brings tears of joy to everyone involved. Four-year-old Gage learned this lesson in a profound way during his father, US Marine Corps Sergeant Joshua Newville’s wedding to Senior Airman Emily Leehan in Ripley, New York, a few years back.
Little Gage was doing a great job of holding it together until the moment his father’s bride began reciting vows she had personally written for him. That’s when the emotions hit him hard.
As Gage stood proudly by his father’s side during the ceremony, he had no idea that Leehan had prepared a special set of vows just for him. When she began to share them in front of a teary-eyed audience, it quickly became overwhelming for the little boy.
As Leehan started: “I want you to be safe, and to try your hardest and to be a good person”, Gage could no longer contain himself and burst into tears, throwing his arms around her.
The audience collectively gasped, responding with a heartfelt “awww” as Leehan tried to comfort him, saying: “Don’t cry, baby”. At that moment, it was clear that Gage’s emotional outpouring was entirely understandable.
Leehan continued: “The last thing I hope you learn is that you are a 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 while I may not have given you the gift of life, life certainly gave me the gift of you”.
It wasn’t just Gage who was overcome; both Leehan and Newville shed tears as they continued with their vows. Gage certainly captured the spotlight, not just with his adorable suit and innocent gaze, but also with a reaction that is sure to resonate with viewers everywhere.
According to ABC7, the newlyweds, Leehan and Newville, returned to active duty immediately after their wedding and couldn’t head off for a honeymoon right away. Instead, they went back to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to begin their married life.
Despite the busy schedule, their ceremony was unforgettable. You can watch the heartwarming video of Gage’s reaction to Leehan’s vows below, be sure to have some tissues handy! It was a truly beautiful ceremony and a poignant reminder of love’s incredible power. We wish Joshua and Emily all the best in their journey together.
The sad tragedy behind Lyn May’s face
Chinese-Mexican showgirl Lyn May starred in almost a hundred films, captivating both presidents and viewers. Known as “The Goddess of Love,” her life abruptly changed in the early 1990s when a regular Botox session went horribly wrong, permanently changing the way she looked.
Lyn’s early years were difficult. She was born in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1952 as Lilia Guadalupe Mendiola Mayares. Selling mementos to tourists helped her family financially. Later, she worked as a waitress, where she met the American sailor who was thirty years her older and became her first love. After relocating to Mexico City and having two daughters, the couple’s relationship ended when Lyn accused him of abuse.
Lyn started her dancing career in Acapulco after getting divorced. Television producers were immediately drawn to her distinctive approach, which resulted in appearances on the hit program *Siempre en Domingo*. After she gained notoriety, she was approached by Enrique Lombardini, who extended an invitation for her to participate in burlesque productions at Teatro Esperanza Iris. After initially being apprehensive, Lyn gradually came to love the burlesque look, which made her famous in the Ficheras films of the 1970s and 1980s and earned her the title “Lyn May: The Goddess of Love.” But Lyn’s notoriety declined along with the box office success of these movies.
Reminding everyone of her timeless appeal, Lyn May triumphantly returned to the spotlight in the late 1990s, making appearances in music videos, TV shows, and documentaries. Her public character may have been audacious, but her private life was tragic. In 1989, following her divorce from her first husband, Lyn wed businessman Antonio Chi Su. Together, the couple founded a Chinese restaurant, but their joy was short-lived as Chi Su died in 2008 from prostate cancer. In a surprising admission made in an open interview, Lyn later acknowledged to exhuming her husband’s body and slept next to it while she struggled to deal with her loss.
Lyn May’s life has been full of audacious claims and contentious deeds, such as her assertion that she had an affair with a previous Mexican president, but she never revealed who he was. She wed film producer Guillermo Calderón Stell in 2008, and they remained together until his passing in 2018.
When Lyn revealed she was expecting her 68-year-old fiancé, Markos D1, at the age of 29, in 2021, she grabbed headlines once more. Many people were skeptical of the news and expressed a great deal of curiosity, with many doubting its veracity. Later on, it came to light that the revelation of her pregnancy was a PR ploy to highlight her impending farewell tour.
Lyn May has faced difficulties in her quest for beauty. An attempt at a cosmetic operation early in her career to improve her facial features went horribly wrong. Instead of injecting collagen, a con artist gave her cooking oil injections, which left her face covered in ugly lumps. The fact that the damage was not completely healed after several surgeries served as a constant reminder of her pursuit of perfection.
Even in modern times, Lyn May is still regarded as a fascinating and resilient person. Her narrative is one of not just fame and beauty but also of personal hardship and the will to follow her own path.
