Pierson was their ring bearer. He had successfully walked down the aisle at their ceremony venue — the Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
"I was very surprised that he actually brought the pillow … the ring pillow — all the way up to me and handed it to me," dad Bobby told "Fox & Friends Weekend" during a live interview. "I thought that was a feat in itself."
"His eyes got really bright and [he had a] surprised look on his face."
"When the music started and Kristie turned the corner at the end of the aisle, his eyes got really bright and [he had a] surprised look on his face," the proud dad and new husband recalled.
"And that’s just when he took off and threw his arms up in the air and started running down the aisle."
