  • At the wedding, Wells danced down the aisle to "Rasputin," spreading 3,000 flower petals via pockets, a hat and tear-away pants

A bride and groom had an untraditional wedding processional.

Blake and Cassie Conley got married in an intimate wedding ceremony on Dec. 17, 2024 at the Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Just 10 of the couple's closest family and friends were in attendance, including their officiant, photographer and flower girl — the latter of whom walked down the aisle to "Rasputin" by Eurodisco group Boney M.

A video of the flower girl's energetic dance down the aisle was recently posted by the couple's wedding photographer and close friend, MHT Media Owner Hannah Tingle, on TikTok, and has amassed more than 750,000 views. The flower girl, Taylor Wells, is Tingle's fiancée and made sure to deliver a memorable performance.

"The moment the first beat of the song came on they knew they were in for a show," Tingle tells PEOPLE.

In the video, Wells claps on beat to "Rasputin" and skips down a brick pathway, scattering silk rose petals out of both pant pockets with every step. As she gets closer to the beachfront ceremony, she repeatedly lifts up her bucket hat, which releases even more petals. Once she reaches the grass, Wells spins in a circle, jumps around and tosses handfuls of flowers. For her grand finale "wow factor," she turns to face everyone and rips off her tear-away pants, which were filled with 3,000 petals.

"As I threw petals and frolicked down the aisle everyone just looked so joyful," Wells tells PEOPLE. "I was so focused on keeping the petals in my pants I do not remember much but I remember hearing clapping, laughter, and a lot of hoops and hollering the entire time. It was a blast!"

Because the groom and guests were completely happy and surprised, Wells says it was a "mission accomplished." Even those not in attendance were wowed by her display.

"Where the wedding took place, there was a balcony several yards back that overlooked the area. When I finished I looked up to see a once empty balcony lined with children all smiling ear to ear in awe," she says. "I like to believe it will forever be a happy core memory for them…or a nightmare, who's to say."

Wells was working at an intensive care unit when she met the bride and groom, who were also critical care nurses at the time. She later introduced Tingle to the couple when they needed a photographer for their engagement shoot in Colorado. Since then, the "group of best friends have been inseparable."

"It was important to me when we decided to have a destination wedding that we kept things small. From the beginning I asked Hannah to be our photographer … I knew we wanted Taylor to have a role as well, but with no bridal party what could we ask her to do?" Cassie tells PEOPLE. "I brought this conundrum up to Hannah and she joked, 'Why not make her the flower girl?' "

What was meant to be a funny joke was a "golden idea" to the bride.

"I knew that if anyone could make Blake laugh amidst all the nerves it would be Taylor," she says. "It was official. Taylor would be the flower girl with full creative liberty and Blake would have no idea. It was brilliant, it brought so much joy and laughter to our little ceremony and watching through the palm trees I was able to see the wedding jitters fade from us both!"

With the flower girl's main goal being to ease the groom's nerves and make him laugh, she had "no problem" making a fool out of herself.

“The bride had asked me to go big or go home and that was a promise I intended to keep, the goofier the better!" Wells says. "I am a nurse not a dancer, that much is very clear, but as long as it made Blake smile and everyone else got a good chuckle from it, I was more than happy to give it my all."

She adds that it was an easy decision to choose "Rasputin" as her song.

“I knew the song choice would be very important for the humor of it all so it had to be one that everyone knew, something upbeat, but most importantly unexpected," Wells says. "Scrolling through a greatest hits playlist, the first song that played was 'Rasputin' and at that moment I knew, this is the one."

Wells admits she "practiced for weeks." But because the distance at the wedding versus at home was "drastically different," the real performance "called for impromptu choreography."

"The planned choreography was not completely lost, just like a child I would gather my loved ones into the living room, set the music to play and it was showtime," she says. "My sweet fiancée and our two pups had a front row seat every night for about two months, how lucky are they."

As for the tear-away pants stuffed with 3,000 petals, that was practiced just once the night before the ceremony because of how long clean-up took. After the wedding, the staff at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta ensured all petals were accounted for to preserve the safety of local wildlife.
