Military protocol was no match for one little boy’s love for his mom during an emotional family reunion. Kathryn Waldvogel waited patiently in line for dismissal after serving nine months in Afghanistan with the National Guard’s 114th Transportation Company. Her 3-year-old son Cooper, however, couldn’t wait to be in her arms.

He darted across the floor of the Inver Grove Heights Training Center auditorium and jumped into his mother’s arms. Breaking the rules was never this cute!

His father, Adam Waldvogel, returned in December after serving with the National Guard’s 850th Horizontal Engineers in Afghanistan.

But before you go all Runaway Bride Julia Roberts, take a look at some of the best and funniest speeches that prove how great a wedding toast can be. In the age of making every moment a viral moment, bridesmaids and best men are adding a touch of flair to the tradition. There’s the typical ribbing on the bridal couple, but with a music routine, or a choreographed dance. Sometimes the speech is so casual, it’s haphazardly delivered from an iPhone (“O.K., everyone needs to stop calling my phone..”). To make it through wedding season, we’re all going to need a few laughs. (To keep from crying about our loneliness.) Best Wedding Speeches 1. Video: YouTube, Brian Gell 2.

Many of us out here are looking for love. Some of us have found it and couldn’t be happier, some of us have had it and lost it, and the rest of us are still searching.
