In a sweet break from tradition that is usually seen at weddings, instead of flower girls there were flower grandmothers at a wedding ceremony. Mostly, the youngest girl in the family acts as a flower girl, however, a video of grandmothers being flower girls was posted on Instagram and it is adorable to watch.

Flower Grandmothers,” says the text inserts on the video. The video begins with a man who is pushing the wheelchair of an elderly woman who is throwing flower petals on the aisle.
