Most men would never be caught dead in a dress, much less willingly wear one in public.

Then again, 23-year-old Jesse Nagy is not “most guys.”
He is, however, the best uncle ever.

Nagy and his 4-year-old niece, Izzy, had plans to go to their local movie theater in Alabama to see “Cinderella.”

Izzy really wanted to wear her princess costume to see the movie but admitted she was too embarrassed to be the only one dressed up.

So Nagy dressed up with her.

He borrowed a prom dress from a friend and proudly wore the stylish gown to the theater so his niece would feel comfortable enough to wear her princess costume.

He told ABC News of his courageous costuming,

If it’s going to make her happy, I’ll do it. I don’t care.

If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.

An anonymous theater employee took a photo of the princessy pair and posted it to Reddit, where it quickly went viral with over 1.7 million views.

She's a lucky young lady to have an uncle who would care so much to do something like that for her. Kudos to him!

You don't often get a good chance to give someone
memories that will last forever. That is one special uncle.

The Fairy Godmother was tied up with another princess and RuPaul was never consulted.
That said, everything he is wearing matches his great big heart.

But taffeta and sandals is pushing it. lol

He is indeed the Best Uncle EVER!!!! Man enough to do that to make his little niece feel comfortable and happy.

She's never gonna forget this. And as she grows older, it will just mean more and more and more.

(LOVE that little red purse of his in the OP photo!)

I saw a stupid article that sucked me in that asked "how are we going to define the ideal man in the new millenium?".
Well we have a winner. With more with a heart like that, there'd be a lot less suffering in the world.
