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. "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Brock here. You've changed my life because you've inspired me in sports and making me confident in Rugby Gala Days. Anyways thank you so much."

As the camera shifts to the wedding guests seated at tables, everyone is intently listening and wiping away tears. Then another message begins from Richard. "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Richard. I just wanted to say I think you're one of the best teachers in SJB because you taught me times and you would help me when I was having a bad. Thank you, congratulations on your marriage." Then another student named Flynn says, "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Flynn. You're my favorite teacher because you always comforted me and you're very kind. Congratulations."
That's not all! Peyton shares, "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Peyton. Thank you for making me smile everyday and letting me sit next to Immy for 3 terms. Also how come I'm not a bridesmaid?!" Then another plays. "Hi Mr. Cox, it's Ashton. Thank you for all the class parties last year. You're the best teacher in the world."

The video ends with Ryan saying, "Wow!!!" And the emotional video got lots of love in the comment section. "I hope the algorithm floods my feed with this type of content 100% of the time. ❤️," one commented. Another wrote, "This is amazing! We never appreciate enough the power and influence a teacher like you has over our children. Congratulations on your career success and on choosing an obviously amazing human to share you life with 🫶🏼." And another added, "The reaction to just hearing the voices of his students has me absolutely sobbing!
What a dream it would be for my little one to have a teacher that loves on him just as hard as Ryan loves his students. What an inspiring, passionate and incredible teacher you are! ♥️"
It wasn't even February, so she wasn't expecting what came next. 
The hug came first, the 'yes' took a few moments more.
