The loving brother practiced this song for 6 months in order to give a perfect rendition at the ceremony. His efforts are definitely worth it because his performance is outstanding!

Jen, who married a man who is also named Jesse, confessed that she had always held out to find a partner who could love her brother as much as she did. Her new husband is that man, and the family could not be happier to welcome him into the fold. She even spoke of her brother in her wedding vows to her husband, Jesse.

Video footage of the performance shows Marcus wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses as he sings for the 130 guests on November 18 as Santamaria and Jesse hold hands on the beach.

Jen says Jesse seemed pleased with himself after the performance and enjoyed the reception, dancing and eating with friends and family. What a heartwarming moment!
