This Video Will Give You All the Feels — and Hope for the Future!

Shot at an actual wedding, the video features children and gay teens who describe, in their words, what their wedding day will be like.

It may be an advertisement for a budget car insurance company, but a new short film that gives children a chance to describe the wedding of their dreams packs both a message of equality and a tug to the heartstrings.

The video, titled #EqualDreams, was recorded at a wedding in Chicago on June 13, according to a press release from Esurance. The children and gay teens in attendance were asked what their future wedding day would be like. Their answers, told in their words, deliver an emotional wallop as well as a gentle nudge to the funny bone.

One boy wants a volcano spewing lava, while a girl suggests her husband can have his own cake if he doesn’t like hers.

Ruby, a little pixie of a girl attending the wedding, wants all her doggies and all her guests’ doggies to attend. She adds, "Everybody's dreams should be allowed to come true because everyone should be happy."
