"As a mom, I have always hoped that my sons would find the girl of their dreams, fall in love, & create a family together. @brodyjenner & @tiablanco completed that vision on Saturday, July 12!" she wrote in the caption.
"The mother/son dance was to a song I wrote for Brandon and Brody - with the lyrics expressing the love and devotion I feel for them. It couldn't have been more perfect," the caption continued.
In the clip, Thompson, wearing a green dress, and her son in his groom attire, were seen slow dancing to the song as a crowd gathered around them. The moment was a special one for several reasons.
"Honey [Honey Raye Jenner — the newlyweds' daughter, born in July 2023] probably had more fun than anyone there - which is saying a lot because it was such a beautiful wedding and a fun celebration. Tia was a gorgeous bride, standing with her handsome groom, surrounded by only the closest friends and family," Thompson wrote in the caption.
Blanco also explained how important Honey was during the ceremony in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. The wedding even had a "Sweet as Honey" theme inspired by their daughter.
"I truly couldn't imagine our special day without Honey," she said. "She is the light of our lives, and her presence made everything even more meaningful and unforgettable."
Honey also had the "time of her life on the dance floor — beaming with joy and soaking in every moment," Blanco said. "From standing beside us during our vows to twirling around us during our first dance, she was part of it all, making the day even more magical."
Thompson ended her post by sharing lyrics from the song that express the "many wonderful things" she wishes for her son and his wife, "now and in the future."
Blanco wrote in the comments, "Awww love all these moments! What a day! The most perfect intimate moments with honey being the star of the show! The best day! Love you!"

A double organ donor and a teen innovator find purpose through giving
The latest installment of Dear David features inspiring stories sent by viewers, including the story of a man who saved two lives through living organ donation and a teenager who used her diagnosis to invent a product for patients like her. Man becomes rare double organ donor Brian Flynn turned a mid-life crisis into a medical marvel by becoming one of the few people in the world to complete two living organ donations. When Flynn was approaching his 50th birthday and feeling he needed to do more with his life, he discovered a plea for help on social media. A teacher at his children's school had posted about her brother, 24-year-old Greg Dentice, who desperately needed a kidney transplant after a childhood kidney infection developed into kidney disease. Despite never having met Dentice, Flynn got tested and learned he was a match. The two men met for the first time on the morning of the surgery. "It was inspiring for me to walk in and see Greg," Flynn said. "You could tell that he was struggling." The kidney transplant was successful, and the two men stayed in touch. Dentice mentioned that Flynn could donate part of his liver if he wanted to help someone else. Flynn researched liver donation and learned he was a good candidate to donate a portion of his liver. He was matched with 4-year-old Richie Ramirez, who needed a liver transplant. "I did have that moment of, 'What am I doing? I've already done this. This is crazy,'" Flynn said. "And that moment passed because you get this sense of, 'I'm on a mission, I'm doing something that's really important.'" The liver surgery, which is much riskier than a kidney transplant, was successful. Four years later, Flynn maintains strong bonds with both recipients. Ramirez is now 8 years old and thriving in third grade, while Dentice is married with a young daughter. "Brian saved my life. I was pretty impressed that he did that for a stranger," said Ramirez. Flynn doesn't plan to make more organ donations but works as an advocate to inspire others, sharing the message that donors get more than they give. "It gave me something that I could do that was, from my perspective, even extraordinary and to give my life meaning," Flynn said. "And that's really hard to find." Teen turns Crohn's disease into business solution Rachel Bee was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 13 years old, transforming her active childhood into weeks spent in infusion centers receiving treatment for the chronic autoimmune disorder. "I just wanted to get out and live and be a kid," Bee said. "But physically my body just wouldn't let me, because I was in too much pain." Bee spent six to eight hours in a chair at an infusion center every week for her treatments. During the sessions, she was always cold and uncomfortable, which sparked an idea for a solution. That idea became "Infusion Hero," a sweatshirt with a zippered sleeve that makes it easy for patients to stay warm while maintaining IV access. Working with her school's business club and a clothing designer, Bee turned her hand-drawn sketches into a real product. She researched and refined her designs over several months. "It had started as just an idea, just something I had quickly drawn out on paper," Bee said. "Fast forward a couple of months, and I'm wearing this hoodie and I can just see how, if I were able to get this product out even though it is in the really early stages, it could be something that could help people so much." Bee is now working with a manufacturer and has received more than a dozen pre-orders for the sweatshirts. She plans to continue developing the business while starting college this fall. "It really gave me a purpose. It gave me passion. It gave me something that I could look forward to, that I can think about" she said. "I really just want to create something that can help people as they go through these experiences because it's really scary honestly to be in that hospital, so just having a little something there to keep you warm can really make a difference."

George Clooney ‘Forced' Jack Black to Break Up Tenacious D After Trump Assassination Comment, Journalist Claims
In a long interview with former President Joe Biden's son Hunter, reporter Andrew Callaghan alleges that George Clooney ordered Jack Black to break up Tenacious D after the duo's guitarist Kyle Gass asked that Thomas Matthew Crooks, who allegedly attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in 2024, 'aim a little higher next time.' Reps for Clooney and Jack Black did not immediately respond to Variety's requests for comment. More from Variety Shaunagh Connaire, Former Communications Director for George and Amal Clooney's Justice Foundation, Sets Directorial Debut 'Brown Bread' (EXCLUSIVE) CNN's Live 'Good Night, and Good Luck' Telecast Spurs Special Coverage CNN to Exclusively Air George Clooney's Record-Breaking Broadway Hit 'Good Night, and Good Luck' Live for Free Two and a half hours into the video, following a claim that George Clooney's wife Amal was responsible for a full-page advertisement requesting an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Callaghan says, 'My only really famous Hollywood friend is actor Jack Black, we used to be neighbors in [Los Angeles], and Tenancious D did a concert in Sydney Australia, and, this is the day after they tried to assassinate Trump, and I guess Jack Black's guitarist or whatever jumps up on stage, and he yells something into the effect of 'Hey, next time you try to shoot Trump, aim a little bit closer.'' (That is not a verbatim recounting of the quote.) He continues, 'George Clooney is blowing his phone up, being like, 'If you don't kick your bandmember out of the band and, like, publicly denounce this guy — like I don't know what the consequences were, but it was kind of like, 'You're out!' Out of what, we don't know. And so his hand was basically forced to be like, 'Oh, sorry, my bandmember has serious mental-health problems. We're breaking up the band for now. The tour is canceled.'' (That also is not an entirely accurate recounting of events.) 'And so,' he continues, ' mean, it is cool to see Hollywood actors voice more progressive opinions, but…' 'Fuck him!' Biden shouts. 'Fuck him and everybody around him!' He then launches into a long tirade about Clooney. 'I don't have to be fucking nice! Number one. I agree with Quentin Tarantino. Fucking George Clooney is not a fucking actor. He is a fucking, like, I don't know what he is. He's a brand.' Biden then abruptly changes tack to say nice things about Clooney. 'And by the way and God bless him, you know what? He supposedly treats his friends really well, he buys them things and he's got a really great place in Lake Como and he's great friends with Barack Obama. Fuck you! What do you have to do with fucking anything? Why do I have to fucking listen to you?' He then continues his tirade about Clooney's alleged efforts to tear down former President Biden. See the full video below. On July 14, 2024, Tenacious D was performing at the ICC Sydney Theatre on, the day after the Trump rally shooting in Butler, Pa., where the current president was apparently grazed in the ear by a bullet allegedly fired by Crooks. At the show, Black presented a cake to Gass on stage to celebrate the latter's 64th birthday. When Black asked Gass to make a wish, Gass responded: 'Don't miss Trump next time.' 'I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,' Black said in a statement at the time. 'I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.' He continued, 'After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.' Best of Variety New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?
