This bloke was a blubbering wreck after hearing a sweet message from his young daughter before he said 'I do'.

Elliot Gwilliam couldn't hide his emotions when the audio recording of his three-year-old Evie began playing as he waited for his bride back in December.

Take a look at this:

In the tear-jerking footage, the 34-year-old groom can be seen patiently waiting for his fiancée Emma Beddow, 27, to walk down the aisle.

But his composed exterior quickly cracked when he heard Evie's voice blaring through the venue as she wished her parents a happy wedding day.

The couple got hitched at Hawkstone Hall and Gardens in the Shropshire village of Hodnet on 28 December.

Footage of the sweet moment from their big day has since gone viral after it was shared online, racking up more than 120 million views on social media.

Elliot explained that he 'just lost it' when the adorable message from his daughter began playing - which was a surprise arranged by his bride-to-be Emma.

The three-year-old could be heard saying: "Hello daddy, it's me, Evie.

“I'm walking down the aisle and will be with you now because you're going to marry my mummy - and she looks beautiful," the little girl says, before adding: "Like me!

"We love you so so much, to the moon and back. Love you lots and lots, like Jelly Tots.

"See you in a minute. See ya, don't wanna be ya. You see alligator."

Elliot was seen dabbing his tears away with a tissue as he was overcome by emotion in the clip, but according to him, he wasn't the only one who was visibly moved.

Reflecting on the special moment during his big day, the groom said: "We'd been planning the wedding for about 12 months. I actually wasn't nervous as I stood there waiting for Emma.

"I thought 'Nah, I've got this!' Then I heard Evie's voice and within moments I was gone. I don't think I managed to pull myself together until Emma was alongside me.

“I did not stand a chance. But I wasn't the only one. There wasn't a dry eye in the house, especially when Evie came down the aisle as one of the flower girls.

"She is such a character and always keeps us on our toes."

Wedding videographer Owen Bloor, of JOL Videography, captured the heart-warming moment on camera.

He told the BBC: "I can't believe how crazy it's gone. I'm so happy for the couple as well, because it's such a moment that people are going absolutely mental for; it's lovely.

"Emma, the bride, messaged me a few days before and said, 'I'd love to do this idea'. The bride knew, the venue knew, I knew, and the photographer knew. I'm not sure about the bridesmaids.

"Elliot was really emotional about it; you can tell in the video. He just says, 'Nah', and that's it.

"He was emotional anyway, and it was such an amazing moment for us to be able to capture; it's just fantastic."

Social media users confessed they couldn't help but cry after watching the clip, too.

One said: "I started bawling as soon as it started."

While another added: "He stood no chance."
