This is the amazing moment Celine Dion surprised a couple getting married in Las Vegas by singing their first dance song, ‘Because You Loved Me’.
Airforce Majors Jason and Kate, were getting married at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas when they were joined by Celine Dion.
The incredible turn of events, which took place in April 2019, was orchestrated by US TV host Jimmy Kimmel, who was determined to give the couple a wedding to remember.
After a somewhat slapstick wedding ceremony, where the couple were joined by Kimmel via live link and actor David Spade gave them alcoholic shots, the wedding took a romantic turn at the announcement of a ‘surprise wedding singer’.
“Did you hire a wedding singer?” Kimmel asked the newly married couple, he shook their heads.
“Well, thankfully I know a local performer who has agreed to help you out,” he continued.
“So, Kate and Jason, here to accompany your first dance as husband and wife, Miss Celine Dion!”
To the utter shock of the couple at the altar, the chapel door then opened to reveal the superstar singer, as she began to sing the opening bars of ‘Because You Loved Me’.
To the delight of their wedding guests, the pair then began to dance as Celine serenaded them, slowly walking down the aisle to the altar, where she gave a heartfelt performance.
The once-in-a-lifetime romantic moment was captured for millions to see online, where it has been watched a staggering almost six million times.
Viewers have flooded the comment section to praise Celine and the incredible gesture.
“You probably couldn’t book Celine to sing at your wedding for less than a million dollars. This is great!” one said.
“If i saw Celine Dion at my wedding i would literally bawl my eyes out, ESPECIALLY if she sang!!!” another wrote.
A third added: “Thanks for making a big grown man cry. May your new life be filled with love, happiness, good health and laughter.”
The incredible moment took place at the beginning of 2019, when Celine Dion was playing her residency in Las Vegas.
The Canadian native, who lives in Las Vegas, had played at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from March 2011, with an estimated 70 performances per year, before her last show in June 2019 – just months after the wedding video.
Celine Dion went on to reveal in December 2022 that he had been diagnosed with a rare and incurable neurological disease.
