As if I didn't love Lin enough for In the Heights, this just brought him up to god status.

[petitgarcon]

This is awesome! 

[petitgarcon]

This is awesome! 

[bvmaa1979]

This was an AMAZING tribute to the love you have for your wife. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion knowing the time, effort and secret rehearsals you and your family had to pull off such a wonderful performance.

[constanzelabest]

how can't you feel happy when you know you're gonna spend your life with a husband like this...

[constanzelabest]

how can't you feel happy when you know you're gonna spend your life with a husband like this...

[donnymossnyc]

It doesn't get any better than this...

[jessicatheginger]

So much epicosity! Best wedding reception EVER!

[theoneandonlystein]

Best fecking idea of all times

[nanipastel]

amazing!!!

[standingintheshadows]

You guys rock! *lol*

[hal2202]

I watch this video periodically and tear up with joy each time. This event has got to be the most sensational and loving "toast" ever put together for a wedding. Having performed in several productions of Fiddler, including this "To Life" scene, I feel a special closeness here. A big Mazel Tov to everyone involved in putting this together. What a wonderful start to a marriage!

[davidinmcgill]

This is so amazing - I really dont have words.... I am totally impressed how everyone in the family and friends made a time in their life to rehearse and prepare for this day. Trully and unforgetable moment! mazal tov!

I am a Cantor/Chazzan and would have love to sing at wedding with this type of vibe and people - trully admirable

If you know of anyone in your family or friends that is interested, it would be an amazing honor to sing with you guys

Please check my videos on youtube

[alika207]

Mazel tov Vanessa! That is too cool!

[buzzy1081]

This is hands down the BEST ever! What and amazing gift to Vanessa. You all were amazing. Lin, you were so funny. I watch this all the time. This is one wedding I would have loved to be at. May you and Vanessa continue smiling and having fun as you were on this day, for the rest of your lives. L'Chaim!

[pavia9447]

What a fun evening it must have been for everyone.



[101purplepanther]

everytime i see this, i think "is this real life? :D" and then I remember it's Lin-Manuel Miranda, everything is possible for him :'D

[shamiroxx]

I love this video. The bride's face is priceless!

[misseslynch]

Brilliant would be an understatement!!!!!!! There are two things a woman always remembers from her wedding day. The look your husband gave you as you walked down the aisle. The feeling you felt as you look around the room and realize that everyone whoever meant something to you is in the same room at the same time. The greatest gift any woman can receive on her wedding day is to be surrounded by those she loves!! Blessings to the beautiful couple today, tomorrow and always.

[ihatepink24]

whoever wrote the lyrics is really talented. damn.

[hal2202]

@ihatepink24 "whoever" is Sheldon Harnick, the lyricist for "Fiddler On The Roof", from which this song, "To Life!" is taken. This event is arguably the most impressive wedding toast ever put together. Every time I view this video it brings tears to my eyes. Imagine how much joy and awe this couple's future children and grandchildren will feel as they view the video.

[YeesusKrist]

Omg:) getting married 11~11~11

[freakoffreaks145]

I would cry so hard if this happened to me. :3

[MultiGakka]

To life: Ecclesiastes (predikatorok konyve) 9:10-11 (I hope that's in english too)

[pazu99]

It's professional, wow! Every bride would dream of having a dance show like this in their wedding, and every groom would love to be the dancer.

[Dimka12345]

Great...

[THEsoundOFmyMUSIC444]

This is all you want at your wedding!!! :)

[zoodensha]

Such a great video.

[EhtelionKG]

[boshrahosseini]

beautiful. I really like the performance by the lady in yellow. Her dress was also amazing. Does anyone know where I can get that dress?

[molliecoyle]

@boshrahosseini it's called an infinity dress, basically what it is, is a skirt with two really long straps attached, you can wrap them loads of different ways,.all the bridemade dress, and the same they are just wrapped in a different way. most of the dressed go over the sholders, and then wrap a few times around the waist and tied at the back, Hope this helps :)

[cinnamonbrandylite]

@molliecoyle - thank you for that! I shall go look for one.

[xiamxmex]

so cute. :)

so in love with eachother <3

[THEBUNNYOFEVIL]

THAT WAS SO CUTE!!! <3 I wish something sweet like that would happen on my wedding hopefully in the future ./////.;;;

[goldsmanh]

מזל טוב לחיים!

[yelzeb16]

who was the first girl to start singing? btw, amazing video :)

[eyakila]

i had to add this i luv it!

[moodylupin]

Father Miranda is awesome. He has Puerto Rican written all over him.

[y112358]

this was the best thing i watched on youtube..=)

[hilarycutter]

I just posted this all over my facebook, the groom looks familiar? I dont know how, is he from Toronto? Nevertheless, its is an amazing production, the guy who played the Ukranian guy singing near the end could have been better, eh, he probably had a few too many, lol. It was amazing. They only got one take, so I give it an A plus.

[trishpip]

@hilarycutter The groom looks familiar? That's Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was the composer and star of the Broadway show "In the Heights". If you aren't into musicals you may have seen him on episodes of House or more recently on an episode of Modern Family.

[pennypixie]

That was WONDERFUL!

[sonicfan197]

WOW O.O THAT WAS EPIC!!!XD

[Carlesrojas]

Very nice, excellent, all the best both of you !! all the best!!! happiness everlasting!

[jmobass]

FANTASTIC!!!!! May your life be filled with 'good fortune, and health!!!!!

[We1terHimmel]

Great JOB! Good performance... .

[QuickenedxPulsex3]

I WANT TO BE VANESSA. I wish this happened at my wedding! So incredibly jealous.

[hockeycita14]

I love it!!! L'Chaim!

[pinoyidol2006]

Chris Jackson!

[ilovethegod99]

Allah bless this b'ful couple and family. what a pleasant surprise that is and that too on your big day. Cheers !!!!

[MissBonneNuit]

this is FANTASTIC!

[imrachez]

I was touched to tears watching this video clip. Vanessa is very very blessed.

[DBHuntington]

If this marriage doesn't last forever, there may be no G-d.

L'Chiam to Lin-Manuel and Vanessa!

[JuriLuvsU]

The 66 dislikes are crabby cat ladies.

[paulispe]

Brilliant idea ! This video conveys joy, happiness, pure and sincere emotion and is a source of inspiration for those who see it. Congratulations and Mazel Tov.

[fariborz29]

congrads bro

[smakmahara]

[JohnT03]

the groom was the crazy guy on the show House!! season 6!!!

[5242121]

لاخايم !!!!!

[MalibuBarbie77777]

Fantastic, It was like a musical!! Thanks for doing it! Best of Luck.

[yokoemy]

I don't understand the meaning of the words but it was certainly the best toast ever!!! Congrats to the couple and may your marriage last for ever strong. :)

[chickensangwich97]

@yokoemy L'chaim is yiddish for "To Life" and Nazdrovia is Russian for "To your health"

[DrBuggles1]

@yokoemy basically just saying Here's to us and our life (L'Chaim means 'To life' in Hebrew and is used as a toast). The rest is just bits of Yiddish.

[tubelarr]

Whenever I am in a bad mood I watch this :)

[usnavi]

@tubelarr Me too, homey. Me too :)

[cinnamonbrandylite]

@usnavi we should start a club.

[artdreams1]

Yup. It makes me so happy :-)

[Yeck24]

¡Vivir en un musical es posible!

y por eso hay que casarse con un creador de musicales.

[brittaniauk]

Whatever you do, don't let Katie Price get hold of this video! This wont probably mean very much to you but this music is an inspiration and may you both be blessed with all the Mazel in the world.

[daffpets]

To meet Lin-Manuel... I mean I don't even have to have a conversation with him. I just want to thank him for how much he inspires me in theater and of course in LIFE! :D

[goldenageism]

[ktgreeeno]

This is fantastic. I want this to happen at my wedding!

[GYOChardonWest]

Six months later and this still is my favorite video. I love it so much. So this is what LOVE looks like, sounds like, and moves like. Somebody should write a song and title it: "Love Me Like Lin's Loves Vanessa or Get out."

[Erlybird54]

Such happy, lovely - and loving - people. Blessings to and on all of you!

[whitedog50]

AMAZING !!! Loved it. 

[sacnphilly]

Awesome video, Lin. You are a great talent. Mazel-tov to you and Vanessa.
