On Sunday, a beautiful wedding was held in Montego Bay, Jamaica. And as the bridesmaids and groomsmen stood near the altar with the beaming groom, all eyes were on the graceful and unforgettable sight: the flower girl. Or flower boy? Actually — flower jawn.
Denzyl Amankwah, 30, of Jersey City, N.J., walked down the aisle tossing flowers at his friends’ wedding. A video of the moment, which has captured the hearts of the internet, shows Amankwah launching his flower basket after making it to the wedding party and then running eagerly towards the groom, whom Amankwah’s known for ten years, and wrapping him in a hug. The song “If You Love Me” by Brownstone is playing in the background.
“Told you’ll I was accepting only one role from now on…..#FlowerJawn. Congrats to @dr.dammmiii & @kashnflights. Thank you for allowing me to live out my dream,” he captioned the video on Instagram.
As of Thursday, Amankwah’s video has gotten over 70,000 views and has been widely shared on social media. Countless people took to the comments to share the joy his performance brought them.
Amankwah, a pharmaceutical ad agency account director and food blogger, tells Yahoo Life that he was inspired to take on the Flower Jawn role after seeing videos on TikTok of “flower men.” He made a bold proposal to the bride and groom, Cashwayne and Damilola Brown, during the rehearsal dinner.
