Watch moment deaf teen surprises aunt at her wedding

This is the heartwarming moment a deaf teenager surprised his aunt - and guests - by signing her favourite song on her wedding day.

Dean Newbronner, 14, was born profoundly deaf but the Newtownabbey lad has been nominated awards for his positive attitude to life and those around him.

And at the end of September, he wowed guests when he signed 'This Is Me' from The Greatest Showman at his aunt Christine and her partner Gordon's wedding in Kilkeel.

Mum Wendy told Belfast Live: "Dean was asked to sign a song during the wedding ceremony and then decided to surprise his aunt. 

"Dean is profoundly deaf and attends Jordanstown School for the Deaf - he loves music and is in the school’s signing choir."
