Flower girls are undeniably adorable, but have you ever witnessed a flower grandpa? Rachel Pitman shared a heartwarming moment with the world when she invited her 95-year-old grandfather, Edlin, to play the role at her wedding. In a viral Instagram video, Edlin led the way, clutching a basket of petals and joyfully scattering them along the aisle, just like any flower girl would.

Edlin’s charming role as the flower grandpa was not only visually delightful but also carried a touching backstory. In another Instagram video featuring clips of Edlin, Pitman disclosed the significance of his presence at her wedding. She shared that Edlin had undergone a surgical procedure in the year leading up to the ceremony, and the chances of a full recovery were slim.

“Doctors told us recovery was slim, and even if he did recover, he wouldn’t be able to walk, talk, or eat again,” Rachel explained in the caption. “During the time when he couldn’t talk, he handed me a piece of paper with a note that said ‘I will make it to your wedding.'”

Following the surgery, Edlin underwent months of rigorous physical therapy. His determination to attend his granddaughter’s wedding paid off. Not only did he attend, but he also became the charming flower grandpa.

“… and that he did. In the most special way, WALKING down the aisle as my flower grandad 🌺👴🏻🌸,” Pitman wrote. “The most determined person I know, and I feel so lucky to call you my Grandad 💗.”
