Wedding reception speeches are always tearjerkers. And for Australian newlyweds Ryan and Chelsea Cox, their reception speech had the entire wedding crying. In a touching Instagram video shared by Euphoria Films, bride Chelsea surprises her new groom Ryan with a heartwarming surprise from his students.

"You are exactly in the career you're meant to be. Making a real difference. You should be so proud of the love, the care and support you bring to their lives," Chelsea says in the beginning of the speech. "I know how much you wanted them here today, so I'm just sharing a little love from your Class 5 Red."

Immediately, her husband Ryan begins to sob as he nuzzles and embraces his wife. Then, the messages begin to play. The first says, "Hey Mr. Cox, this is Izzy. Thank you for being the best teacher in the world. Thank you for helping me. You have changed my life."

The next one had some funny ribbing. "Hey Mr. Cox, it's Jacob. I just want to say you're really special because you come to school everyday and help us learn amazing new things and always support us no matter what. Do question the mullet, but it's fine. I'll leave it up to you. Hopefully you have an amazing wedding," he says. And there is another message from a student named Daniel. "Hi, it's Daniel. Thank you for helping me at all times. Have a good wedding."

The video then pans to the bridal party, who are all wiping away tears with tissues. Another message begins. "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Flynn. Thank you for being the best teacher and supporting me and everyone else, and helping me learn throughout this year. And thank you for helping me with my sport and improving. Thank you hope you have a good day."

Without missing a beat, another message begins. "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Kat. You make each day better by smiling and making learning fun. You're the best teacher in the world." Then another message starts.

The most unlikely friendships can develop in the most unlikely places. For best friends Will and Grace (yep, just like the namesake NBC sitcom, Will & Grace), that place was their local post office.
