The bride-to-be was overcome with emotion the moment she turned around and discovered the children.
José had planned the whole surprise ahead of their nuptials, and could be seen beaming next to his fiancée.
The couple, who were standing in front of their priest, waved as their ring bearers made their way to them.
One little boy led the way, dressed smartly in a shirt and trousers with braces and a bow tie, holding a young classmate's hand as she made her way down the aisle in a white bridesmaids dress.
CÃntia had always wanted to get the children involved in the wedding, but was told it was not possible. In fact, José had planned the whole surprise beforehand

All the girls wore white dresses with colourful bows and flowers in their hair.

Two cheeky boys made quite the entrance when they followed the group in an electric car, while minders made sure they 'drove' in the right direction.
CÃntia, who could not have been more touched, fought back tears of joy as she got to the children's level to greet them.

The bride reflected on the beautiful moment after her nuptials.
She revealed she had always wanted to have the children involved in her wedding, but her groom had planned the whole thing to be a surprise.
'It was very emotional because I asked the priest from the church we got married to let me have the kids I had in my practice, but he said that I couldn’t.
'In reality my husband had asked him to say that because he had already planned it with the priest.

'I truly love what I do and I am lucky to be able to help them have a better quality of life. I believe that every person has potential,' she added.
'We need to look at them beyond their disabilities so then we can help them surpass the barriers they have in life.'
The wedding was made all the more special by the fact that José and CÃntia got hitched on March 14, one day before steps were taken in Brazil to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

'Immensely happy with the repercussion of this video because my dream has always been to spread the beauty of social and school inclusion, and this video, without meaning to, became the living proof that everyone deserves equal opportunities!
'And that is what I have always fought for! And with this visibility that the video is having we are able to show how much more beautiful everything is when we include everyone,' she said.
