Move made the two closer

According to Daily Mail, Vanessa, a nurse, noted she wanted Henry to know she would not only be the woman married to her dad.

She said she was nervous because she did not know how Henry, who has a shy personality, would react - but it felt right.

Vanessa said she did not see the guests reactions until after watching the video as she was focused on delivering her message to her stepson.

She said they watched the video together with Henry and started tearing up, which she thought was adorable.
