When it was her turn to walk down the aisle, one bride didn't want her twin sister, who has special needs, to miss out.
Morgan Watkins posted footage to her TikTok account showing the moment her husband-to-be carried her sister, who was wearing a white dress and veil, down the aisle.
In the clip, which can be watched here, the bride's twin smiles at the watching crowd as she is carried by the groom to the altar at the outdoor wedding venue.
The footage was shared to the social media app on October 5, and within a day had garnered about 11,400 shares, more than 2.1 million likes and 15.3 million views.
Watkins captioned the clip: "My twin sister who has special needs came down at my wedding with my fiancé, now who I call my husband.
"I wanted her to have her special moment as a bride like her twin sister. I will forever cherish this!"
She later added: "Look at how her just looking around at everyone like she's on her throne this is why I fell in love with him bc he loves her as much as I do. #weddingtiktok #love #twins #marryme #lovestory #youarethereason #tiktok."
Responding to the clip, Jessica Caudill wrote: "As a mother who has daughters who will never get married this is so beautiful and selfless."
To this, Watkins replied: "That is why I did it, she won't ever get married, she doesn't have interest in dating or anything but I just want her to have that special moment her sis got. I've dreamed of this since ever thinking about getting married!
"She's my girl. Where i go she goes & I always told myself I'll never be with a man who doesn't love her and accept her just like I do. Bless you mama! Your girls are lucky to have you!"
Others also shared opinions on the video.
Jamilex Vega wrote: "Ladies and gentleman, this is what a REAL gentleman looks like."
Liz Garza added: "This is amazing because you will most likely take care of her during her old age and he's making a promise to you and her here."
And Christal typed: "All the bridezillas out there talking about their special day. I see 2 queens here. And a prince."
