"Flower grannies" at their grandkids' wedding go viral
Two grandmothers have stolen the show at their grandkids' wedding as they walked down the aisle as flower girls.
The heartwarming moment was captured by wedding photographer Joshua Hugget, who was taking photos at the picturesque wedding in South Australia.
The video shows the two grandmothers arm-in-arm, dropping flower petals down the aisle in lieu of the standard young flower girls.
The bride, Michaela Treloar, shared with the ABC how she and her partner both “wanted to include our grandmothers into our wedding somehow”, which resulted in the adorable moment.
“They took it on with pride, smashed it, and now they’ve gone viral,” exclaimed Treloar.
“It was really cute … each nonna was helping each other get to the end of the aisle, chatting all the way.”
The photographer who captured the moment shared that he believes something about the video is relatable to everyone in some way, and that is the secret to its success.
“It hits that heart string straight away … it’s the perfect concoction of people saying they want to do that with their grandma, teamed with people saying they wish they could do that with their grandma now that they’d passed,” Joshua shared.
The flower grannies shining moment has been viewed millions of times, with many leaving comments praising the married couple for including their grandmothers in their big day.
“I have goosebumps head to toe! The smiles on the grannies’ faces …. Priceless!!!!!!!” One user commented.
“Hope this trend catches on, it’s truly beautiful!”
