Tøsse begins singing just as she emerges through the church doors. Halway through the song, her father took the mic to join in for a verse. 

The video pans to Eidsvik, who is seen at the altar wiping tears from his eyes as he watches his beautiful bride belt out the emotional song. 

'Since I sing every day for others, I wanted to sing for the man who supports me every day,' Tøsse told The Huffington Post. 'He is the reason why I dared to start my own company and follow my dream to sing from my heart to others.' 

The newlywed said that it was her father's idea to join in during the song. 

Tøsse's father, Charles, took the mic and sang a verse of his own during the ceremony, something the bride said was her father's own idea

'He wanted to sing to Ronny too,' she said. 'He had a message to deliver: "And now it's time to give away my daughter. You know it's hard, so please take care of her".' 

The moving performance included 30 singers and musicians, who stood on balconies and near the front of the church. 

'Ronny cried and smiled,' Tøsse told The Huffington Post. 'He is such a sensitive person. And that's why I love him so much.'

'I feel so blessed that I found a man that builds me up,' she added. 'Or as I sang to him, "You raise me up to more than I can be".' 

Tøsse was glowing as she serenaded her husband to be. She had a smile on her face for the entire time she was belting out the song
