A couple’s tearjerking wedding ceremony change captures hearts. While this may have deviated from the norm, it was a sweet and simple move that likely meant a lot to everybody involved. Watch this short clip to see how one couple made an adorable change to their wedding ceremony. However, make sure you have the tissues nearby before hitting play.

Weddings are important and beautiful ceremonies that recognize and celebrate two people making a lifetime commitment to one another. For better or worse, no matter what life may throw at them, they have agreed to stay by each other’s side. Who doesn’t love attending weddings?

Those ceremonies are very emotional and full of traditions. Anyone who has ever been to a wedding has a good idea of the flow and how things will go, for the most part. They know to stand as the bride makes her grand entrance, when to applaud after the officiant announces the couple as husband and wife and to wait to be escorted out of the sanctuary by one of the ushers.

In a clip posted on social media, a couple significantly changed their wedding service. Instead of a cute little girl fulfilling the role of the flower girl, the groom’s grandparents did that job.

The video captures the elderly couple making their way down the aisle while tossing flower petals on the ground. As soon as they begin throwing out the petals, the groom becomes emotional. He is unable to keep the tears from flowing. Several times in the short video, the young man has to wipe tears from his eyes.

When the grandparents reach the altar, they greet the groom with a loving hug and kisses on the cheeks.  

What a beautiful and sweet idea! Including the grandparents undoubtedly meant a lot to them and the groom and likely brought many others to tears at the wedding.
