Weddings are typically about making the bride and groom feel special on their important day. However, one selfless sister set up an opportunity for her twin with functional needs to get to share in the spotlight. Morgan Watkins posted a video from her wedding day on TikTok in Oct. 2021. The precious footage showed Morgan's groom walking down the aisle carrying her twin sister Macey. Macey was wearing a white dress and veil so she could match her sister and create her own cherished memory.

In the video, you could see the moment the groom carefully climbed down a set of stairs and walked to the aisle. The guests all turned to watch as Macey made her way past the crowd. She was happily looking around at all the guests, seeming to enjoy the attention in that special moment. The groom was also smiling as he carried Macey the entire time. 

The bride set this moment up for her sister and said she would cherish the memory forever. Her twin sister means the world to her and her groom as well. Morgan said she initially fell in love with him because he loves her sister as much as she does. 

Morgan also said that Macey isn't interested in dating and marriage, so this was her chance to feel like a bride, just like her twin sister. These two share an incredible bond, and it is beautiful to witness such an example of selflessness. Read on to learn more about Macey's big moment on her sister's wedding day. 

Sharing her wedding celebration with her family was important to Morgan, especially with Macey. In the caption of her video, Morgan wrote: 

"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! Look at how she just looks around at everyone like she's on her throne, this is why I fell in love with him because he loves her as much as I do."

The TikTok video has gone viral and touched the hearts of people all around the world.
