The oldest son of US President Donald Trump has volunteered to walk a stranger down the aisle on her wedding day as her own father reportedly refused to attend her wedding. In a video that went viral, a Texan girl’s allegedly 'liberal' parents said they won’t attend her wedding because her fiancee is a conservative and she was looking for a father figure to walk her down the aisle.

Replying to this viral video on Twitter, Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday said that it is really sad and touching that the girl has to walk down the aisle without her parents. However, he also praised the girl for standing up for her happiness and said if she doesn't find someone he will walk her down the aisle.
