An Army sergeant gave his older sister the "absolute best surprise" on her wedding day on May 4.

William Watson took leave to travel to American Fork, Utah, for his sister Helena Morgan's special celebration.

Morgan had originally believed her younger brother wouldn't be able to make it to the wedding.

"Baby brother got 36-hours leave to fly across the country and walk me down the aisle," Morgan wrote in a viral TikTok video capturing the surprise. "Best day of my whole life started with the absolute best surprise."

Morgan told Storyful since she thought her younger brother wouldn't be able to attend, she had even ordered a cardboard cutout of his image to include in the festivities.
