00:00I always looked up to you like you were my dad. As I got older,
00:06I was scared to call you my dad. But I no longer am because you are my dad."
00:14Zoe was just two years old when Marcos and Jessica met in 2017.
00:18Marcos didn't have children of his own, but he didn't hesitate to step up.
00:22From doctor's appointments to report card conferences,
00:25he was the constant loving father figure Zoe needed. For years, she'd hint to her mom how
00:31much she wanted to call him dad, but the thought of the change felt a little scary.
00:35So for the wedding, Jessica and Zoe came up with a plan to finally make the leap.
00:40Hey dad, when I first met you, I always looked up to you like you were my dad. As I
00:48got older,
00:49I was scared to call you my dad. But I no longer am because you are my dad.
00:58Thank you for loving me, Zoe, and my mom. I will never forget everything you've done for me.
01:06I love you so much. And by the way, mommy looks very pretty."
01:13As the words, hi dad, echoed through the room, Marcos was completely overwhelmed.
01:19He'd been her father in his heart since day one, but hearing it out loud changed everything.
