"As a former teacher myself, I loved the idea of involving her students," Jackie Phillips said in a statement to Patch. "However, we were a bit nervous to make sure we really captured as many of the students as possible coming down the aisle and getting their reactions. It was truly sweet and you could really see their excitement."
