The INSIDER Summary:
- A Wisconsin man served as the "flower man" in his cousin's wedding
- The crowd loved his swagger as he walked down the aisle and did a "Lebron powder toss" with the flowers at the end.
- His cousin and her new husband loved it, too.
When his cousin Andria wanted Patrick Casey to be involved in her wedding, he offered to do so in the most adorable way possible by acting as the wedding's "flower girl." And he went all out.
28-year-old Casey, who BuzzFeed reports runs his own PR firm in Wisconsin, walked down the aisle spreading petals using the same basket that Andria used 20 years before in a wedding they were both in together.
A video of Casey's walk down the aisle, which has already racked up thousands of views, shows his dignified flower tosses and ends with him pulling more petals out of his pockets to perform a "Lebron powder toss" at the end. The crowd totally ate it up, clapping for him as he joined the rest of the wedding party at the alter.
And while you might think such a stunt would upstage the bride and groom, Casey told BuzzFeed that the couple loved his flower man performance and that it added some levity to their big day.
"They FULLY encouraged me to do all of this. I would have never done anything to take attention away from them if they didn't want me to," he said.
An article from The New York Times said that Casey is not alone: the "flower man" is becoming more and more common as couples break out of traditional gender roles. So if you're planning a wedding, you may just want to expand your search.
