Matiu and Steph Workman asked their grandmothers to be flower girls at the ceremony at the Sargood Centre in North Dunedin on Saturday.
Their respective grandmothers, Nancy Maxwell (83), of Paraparaumu, and Chris Elder (88), of Dunedin, accepted the invitation.
Mr Workman (28), of Wellington, said the couple’s "strong connection" with their grandparents inspired the invitation.
The ceremony allowed the couple to acknowledge the great amount of knowledge their grandparents had gained through experience, Mr Workman said.
Mrs Elder, an Abbeyfield Dunedin resident, said she enjoyed being a flower girl at the wedding.
"A family wedding is always such a pleasure."
The "special role" made her feel "honoured and valued", Mrs Elder said.
Mrs Workman (nee Bond, 34), of Dunedin, said the couple decided on the "unique" choice of flower girls as a "nice way" to affirm the importance of their grandmothers in their lives and show their respect for them in front of about 100 guests.
