Woman who sent own father to prison has man who jailed him walk her down the aisle at wedding

A woman has spoken out after a video of her being walked down the aisle with the police officer who arrested her father went viral

A woman has spoken out after a video of her being walked down the aisle with the police officer who arrested her father went viral.

A video of Ivy walking down the aisle to wed her fiancé Tristan went viral on TikTok after the post revealed the 28-year-old was accompanied on the walkway by 15 men.

Ivy - a police officer herself - got married to sheriff deputy Tristan on 15 July. Prepare to reach for the tissues:

In the video - posted by Karrah Creative Events (@karrahcreativeevents) located in Central Washington - guests can be seen gathered outside on a gloriously sunny day, all turned to look as the bride makes her way down the aisle.

The caption reads: "At 16, our bride played a pivotal role ensuring her abusive father was put in prison.

"On her wedding day, she asked 15 of the most important men in her life to escort her down the aisle.

"These men included her brother, brother-in-law, uncles, childhood coaches...

"And the police officer who arrested her father."

The video shows Ivy starting her walk down the aisle with a man either side of her, before she's later passed over to another pair of men further down the walkway.

"Collectively they stood by her side and gave her to be married to her now husband," the caption continues.

Once Ivy reaches the altar, the men - all wearing matching trousers and shirts - stand behind in formation in the aisle.

When the wedding officiant asks who 'gives this woman to be married to this man,' they all chime in unison: "We do."

*Sobs*

In a post uploaded to Karaah Creative Events on Sunday (23 July), Ivy addresses the online reaction to her wedding video.

Ivy says: "I just got off work and I just wanted to say thank you. Tristan and I have been reading all your comments and messages over the last couple of days from our wedding video that was shared."

The police officer shared her Instagram page (@SROfficerIvy) because she doesn't know how to use TikTok but wants to 'connect' with people and continue to 'share [her] journey'.

She says: "I want to be able to keep encouraging you to push forward and stay strong.

"We all have a story that shapes us - it does not define us - but shapes us and empowers us in ways to move forward and I want to be able to help you do that in the best way possible."
