Cassie Woodard shared a special piece from her wedding that her grandfather had saved and protected for 40 years.
Cassie’s heartwarming video on TikTok brought tears to the eyes of internet users and touched many hearts.
Cassie, who grew up riding horses in a small town near southern Indiana, always wanted an intimate wedding that reflected her love of horses. But what she was even more sure of was the type of flowers she wanted.
The flowers she chose for her wedding were cockcrow, which her grandfather had been growing for around 40 years.
She explained that her grandfather was very attached to his garden and wouldn’t let anyone near it until Cassie had done her first picking.
She showed how the day had gone when she had finally started to pick her flowers.
As well as the fact that the 94-year-old had been tending the garden for some forty years, the flowers were also special because the cockscomb had come from Germany and the seeds planted had also originated there, as Cassie’s grandparents were German.
As her only granddaughter, the bride kept much of her family history alive and ensured that the flowers were showcased at every stage of the wedding.
