Bride Prepares To Say Vows, Then Groom Grabs Her Arm & Invites Someone Else To Altar.

Clifton knew it was a package deal when he proposed to Janna, and that’s exactly the way he wanted it. In fact, he made a very public and profound display of devotion to his soon-to-be-step daughter during his and Janna’s wedding ceremony last summer.

Much to her surprise, young Jayda also received a vow that day, and Clifton topped it off with her very own 14-karat white gold diamond ring!

After slipping the ring on her finger, he looked intently in Jayda’s eyes and said the following: “This ring I give to you has a lot of meaning behind it. So I want you to keep this on your finger until the day that you meet someone and you get married.â€

“I want you to know that I will always love you — you and your mommy,”Clifton pledged. “I will always protect you. I will teach you every moral that my parents taught me. I will help your mother raise you to be a beautiful young lady just like herself.â€

Instead of a kiss, however, they sealed it with a pinky swear.

It was the culmination of a story that began in 2010, when Clifton offered to help Janna – then raising her daughter as a single mother – shovel her driveway after a snowstorm. Little Jayda was just a toddler at the time. Her biological father had unexpectedly passed away when she was just 6 years old.

Not long after Clifton shoveled their drive, Clifton, Janna and Jayda took a trip to Clearwater, Fla., where “the sand and ocean water tend to take all worries and pain away,”Janna explained.

During that getaway, Jayda and Clifton spent an entire day together — including visiting a jewelry store.

But it came as a complete surprise to Janna when, on her wedding day, Clifton asked her to step aside and let Jayda take her place.

“The only people he told about this were the best man, the pastor, the DJ and the photographer,”she later recalled. When Clifton made his vows to Jayda, she added, “it was at that point that I realized this wonderful man is 10 times the man I thought he was.â€
