Stepson Surprises Bride On Altar By Calling Her Mom For First Time

A 10-year-old planned a beautiful surprise for his stepmom on her wedding day – heading to the altar and asking if he could call her "mom" for the first time. Kristen Schultz, 34, from Mount Washington, Kentucky, has known her now-husband, Dereck, 34, since they were kids. The pair were a couple in middle school before life took them in different directions, only for Kristen and Dereck to rekindle their relationship four years ago. Since getting back together, Dereck and Kristen, who each have two children of their own, have always focused on making their situation feel like one happy, blended family. Over the years, the step siblings have shared birthdays, holidays, vacations, school events and sports, and Kristen built a special bond with Dereck's son, Levi, aged 10, and his biological sister, Sophia, five. Kristen said she never expected anything from Levi, only to know he was loved and supported, but ahead of his father and stepmom's wedding day, on June 27, Levi planned a tear-jerking surprise.
