92-year-old steals the show as flower girl at granddaughter’s wedding
If there’s one thing we never get tired of seeing here at Over60, it’s got to be brides and grooms finding unique ways to include their grandparents in their big days. So far, we’ve seen a 100-year-old bridesmaid, a “flower grandpa” and even a bride who swapped her expensive gown to don her grandmother’s vintage frock.
So, there was no way we weren’t going to share this one! When 27-year-old bride Kerrin Walton walked down the aisle on Friday, there was only one option in mind when it came to choosing her flower girl – her 92-year-old grandmother, Alison.
“Kerrin came with flowers and a lovely card that said would I give her the honour of being her flower girl,” Alison told The Herald Sun. “How could I refuse?”
According to Kerrin, however, it took a little convincing to prove to her nan that she wasn’t joking. “She didn’t believe me when I first asked her,” the newlywed revealed to 9 News. “But she was the best flower girl in the world. She was beautiful, inside and out. I wouldn't want any other girl to walk me on my way to my husband.
“I needed something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. And Nanna was my something old.”
How sweet! And it’s not the first time the grandmother-of-12 has had a starring role in a wedding. So far, she’s been mother-of-the-bride six times, a bridesmaid, matron of honour and a bride herself.
See the ladies celebrating their big day in the gallery above and tell us in the comments, did your grandparents have a special role in your wedding?
