Something to warm up your Saturday evening -- a video of Lin-Manuel Miranda's has resurfaced on YouTube, and it will melt your heart! The Broadway composer and lyricist put together a suprise performance of "To Life" from Fiddler on the Roof for his wife Vanessa on their wedding day in 2010. Get a flashback of their happy moment below!

Miranda wrote on YouTube: "My surprise for my wife Vanessa on our wedding day. All of Vanessa's close friends and family rehearsed for a month in secret, leading up to the reception. What we lack in polish, we hopefully make up for in joy and love. In any event, everyone in this video has one thing in common: We'd do anything to show Vanessa how much we love her.

"A heartfelt thanks to all our friends and family who participated. Special thanks to Alex Lacamoire, who went above and beyond on the music tip, Sara Miller, for her incredible patience and choreography, Andy Blankenbuehler for letting us use his studio, and Films by Francesco, for filming and putting this together so quickly and beautifully. And thanks to Jerry Bock & Sheldon Harnick, for writing an unbelievably good song. L'Chaim!"
