The video maker focuses on the tearful groom as he wipes his eyes while watching Lindsey walk down the aisle in her dress.
One of his groomsmen leans over and attempts to offer some comfort, but the sight of his future wife seems to be too much for Will to take.
Posting alongside the video, Alyssa wrote: 'One day I hope to find a man that looks at me the way Will Ceaser looks at Lindsey Whitehead.
'If this video touched you, please send to Ellen DeGeneres! They are two of the most beautiful, loving people I have ever known. Let's show people what love really looks like.'

Touching gesture: When Will saw his future mother-in-law walking his bride down the aisle it added to the happiness of the day
Patti White, a guest to the wedding, told WDAM that when she looked around the church everybody was crying with Will when he began to well up.
'I look around and everyone's crying. The whole place is crying with him,' she recalled.
Her husband, Rev. Eddie White, who revealed that he also shed a few tears during the ceremony, explained to the news website that Lindsey's parents had previously objected to the couple's marriage, but her mother showed up unexpectedly on their wedding day.
He believes that when Will saw Lindsey's mother walking his wife-to-be down the aisle it added to the emotion and happiness of the day.

Patti also noted that Will had wanted to get married last year, but Lindsey had dreamed of a Christmas wedding so he had waited.
'I think it just symbolizes that the wait was worth it,' she said.
The happy couple, who were photographed smiling together before their wedding, will be honeymooning in Florida this week.
Lindsey will later move from Alabama to Mississippi so that she can be on hand to help her new husband with his youth ministry.

The video has unsurprisingly received a number congratulatory comments since it appeared online.
One viewer wrote: 'Beautiful, now that's pure love. Got me over here in tears.'
While another said: 'That's a man that loves his woman right there.'
However, a third joked: 'Just because he was crying doesn't mean they were tears of joy.'
And before their emotional ceremony, Lindsey and Will both took to Facebook to share messages about their big day.
'I've dreamed of this day since I was little,' Lindsey wrote. 'Today I marry my best friend, Will Ceaser. This is going to be perfect. See you at the [altar].'
'Lindsey Whitehead, meet me at the alter in your white dress,' Will wrote to her a few hours later.
