A sweet dance between two great-grandparents is quickly going viral on social media.

Macey Montgomery shared a TikTok video on Thursday of her great-grandfather Elton Denner using a special walker to dance with his wife Betty Denner in honor of her birthday, and it has already racked up over 4 million views and counting.

In text overlaid on the video, Montgomery explained that her great-grandfather bought the dancing walker specifically for the birthday celebration.

"My great-grandparents grew up in an era where dancing was a cherished pastime, and even after 82 years of marriage, they haven't lost that love," Montgomery said. "For her 100th birthday, my great-grandfather (also 100), who now needs assistance to walk, used a standing walker so they could share a dance to their favorite song, 'Moonlight Serenade' by Glenn Miller -- leaving not a dry eye in the house."

In the video, Montgomery's great-grandparents are dressed in Disney-inspired outfits for the occasion, with Betty Denner dressed as Cinderella and Elton Denner dressed as Prince Charming.
