Two grandmas in North Carolina had their very own spotlight at their grandchildren’s wedding, a viral TikTok video showed.

Newlyweds Chad and Shelbi May told WITN that they decided to have their grandmothers take the role of “flower girls” after having a hard time choosing which children would participate.

The wedding videographer, Hannah, filmed the adorable moment in Leicester that got hundreds of thousands of views online.

“These grandmas KILLED it!” Hannah wrote. “One of my favorite parts of last Saturday.”

But the grannies didn’t just have flowers — they were also armed with bubble guns, spraying the guests with a curtain of bubbles as they made their way down the isle.

“This is the best thing I’ve seen all day,” one poster commented.

“Does anyone have a granny I can borrow?” another asked. “Mine passed and I’d love this.”

“This is so cute,” a third added. “I (love) how much fun they’re having.”
