First looks have become a pretty popular tradition for American weddings. But one bride's TikTok is going viral after showing a first look between her and her young son — and you might need to grab some tissues before watching.
The clip was shared earlier this week by TikTok user @thomasadrianna
Since then, it's earned a whopping 6.7 million views and more than 44,000 comments.

In the clip, a camera follows the young boy walking into his mom's bridal suite on the day of her wedding. Though his age isn't mentioned, the boy appears to be no older than 10, and he looks pretty dapper in a light suit, a dark green bow tie, and a matching boutonniere.
Once he stands across from his mom, she smiles and takes it all in.
"Wow, you look great baby!" the bride says while wearing a stunning wedding gown and a cathedral veil.
As his mom looks him over, the boy stands in silence
Although he may be speechless, it's clear that he's feeling all sorts of emotions inside.
"You like your suit?" his mom asks at one point. "You ready to walk me down the aisle?"
The boy nods his head in agreement, still unable to say much in reply. But then, just a few seconds later, his mom catches a glimmer of something in his expression, and knows what's about to happen next.
"You gonna cry?" she asks just moments before tears start to stream from his eyes.
Moments later, he walks forward to give his mom a hug
By this point, the waterworks are on full blast, and the little boy is clearly overcome with emotion.
"Happy tears?" his mom asks him as he nods back. "Promise?"
It's at this point we see him mouth, "I'm so happy for you."
The intimate moment is relatively short but incredibly moving
That moment was certainly not lost on TikTok where countless people have flooded the post to say that the video got them pretty choked up.
"I almost lost it when he said, 'I’m so happy for you!'" one person wrote in the comments.
"Why am I watching this again?" someone else wrote. "Lawd that, 'I’m so happy for you' was so sincere — he loves his mom!"
"I am CRYINGGGG omg," another person said. "This is the most precious thing ever omg!"
Even some self-described boy moms chimed in
"That mother-son bond … there’s nothing like it," one user wrote.
"You got this boy mama in tears!" someone else wrote. "What a precious moment."
There's no denying that the love between these two runs pretty deep. But it's also pretty incredible just how mature this little guy is.
