THIS is the heartwarming moment a bride asked her auntie to be maid of honour at her wedding - and people can't get enough of her sweet reaction. Caitlin McGinn, from Glasgow, got engaged to partner Calum last June and immediately knew who she wanted to be part of her big day.

To make it a special surprise, Caitlin disguised her bridal party proposal as a Christmas gift for her 60-year-old aunt, Jane Neilson. Sharing the heartwarming moment on TikTok, she said: "Asking my perfect aunty to be my maid of honour. I always knew she’d be the one for the job .".

In the clip, the bride-to-be presents unsuspecting Jane with a bottle bag and special note attached. Thrilled with just the booze, Jane gushes: "Oh lovely! I love that!". It's only after Caitlin prompts her to read the note that she discovers her real gift.

Appearing confused at first, Jane reads: "Pairs well with maid of honour duties. Auntie Jane will you be my maid of honour?". And her confusion quickly transforms to delight as she gives Caitlin a huge hug and kiss, before joking: "You want an old woman to be your maid of honour?".
Commenting on the sweet moment later, Jane added: "I'm blown away. So honoured. Love my beautiful niece so much. And it's not just Jane who's been left touched by the heartwarming gesture, with the clip going viral with more than 250,000 views. One social media user insisted: "I think you Mrs are about to start the wonderful trend of asking our older nearest and dearest to fulfill these duties. Beautiful.".
