Bride And Groom’s Grandmas Teamed Up As Flower Girls For Their Wedding
In a traditional wedding procession, flower girls are normally aged between three to ten years old, but when Josh and Maggie Wakefield got married recently, their two flower girls had a combined age of 149 years. Why? Because they decided to ask their grandmas!
Maggie’s grandma Joyce is 75-year-old, and Josh’s grandma Drue is 74, but when they were asked to be the flower girls at their grandkid’s wedding at White Chimneys in Gap, Pennsylvania, they accepted immediately. The invitation was especially poignant because Maggie’s father died of colon cancer in 2013, and so it was important for her to have both of her dad’s parents involved in the wedding. Because of this, her grandpa Ronald walked her down the aisle, and as you can see from the pictures below, their day couldn’t have been any more special.
“I’m sure that my father was looking down, smiling and laughing, at his mother throwing flower petals, with his father and me following from behind,” Maggie said to Huffpost.

Lovely :) There should be no age limit for such things anyway; if someone is close to you and you feel like they deserve a big part of your special day, then they probably do!

When kindness joins compassion, the results will speak in volumes. That wedding was one of the happiest days of those grandparents lives!

Two very beautiful grandmas. How lucky both are, the groom and the bride, to have their grandmas to see and to participate in their wedding.

This could start a sweet, charming tradition for including multiple generations in the wedding celebration.

I actually teared up for a sec. they're so happy and proud of being the world's oldest flower girls (if 3 -10 is normal I only assume they have to be) it's a wonderful gesture. the fathers picture on her bouquet had a blue shirt if that was the “something blue" that's very sweet and clever.

I think it is a lovely compliment to someone who meant so much to the bride and groom.
