A widow gave a moving speech after stepping into the shoes of her late husband at his sister's wedding.

Cassidy Myers, 28, lost her husband, Jared, 28, on March 7, after he died in his sleep due to an issue with his heart.

Jared had the heart condition hypertensive cardiovascular disease - which caused blood to stop flowing out of the organ.

Jared’s sister, Morgan, 28, and her partner, Billy, 30, were due to marry on August 30 - and had asked Jared to be one of their groomsman and deliver a speech as brother of the bride.

But when Jared died just five months before the wedding, Morgan asked her sister-in-law, Cassidy, to fill his shoes.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Cassidy stood up on the big day and said: "Tonight I want to share the love and pride my husband would have spoken to had he been able to do this speech himself as intended."

Cassidy also played a video of Morgan and Jared when they were younger and videos of Morgan and Billy in front of the wedding guests and says her husband would be "so proud".
