Anna Richie and her brother Joseph Gibbons surprised their wedding guests in a way no one will forget. On Anna’s big day they stood up together and performed “The Prayer” by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.
Joseph broke the ice first by talking about how different their music tastes were, which got a laugh, but then the music started and everything changed.
Anna said in the video description that they were always on different paths with music. She explained they both cared about it but never found much common ground. That was until she heard “The Prayer” one day and instantly thought this was the song they had to sing together at her wedding.
The choice fit perfectly for them. Their voices blended in a way that matched the mood of the day, calm and full of love. It gave the family a performance that went beyond just a song and made the wedding feel even more special.
The reaction online has been massive. The clip has over 5 million views and thousands of people wrote about how moving it was. Their mother even left a comment saying they always loved each other but were very different and over time learned to appreciate those differences.
Moments like this show how weddings are more than just formal events. They become the stage for families to show how much they mean to each other. Sometimes that means a surprise like a group dance to ‘Happy’, and other times it is two siblings joining together to sing a song that means something to both of them.
As their performance ended the whole family started cheering, clapping, and even shouting with excitement. You can see how proud they were to watch Anna and Joseph share that moment together.
It was already a day filled with joy, and that song just added one more unforgettable memory to it. You can see it for yourself below:
