Your wedding is a momentous and memorable day in your life. While it’s the beginning of a new chapter in your life, it’s also an occasion to rejoice with your friends and family, the loved ones who raised you and assisted in getting you to this point in your life.

Because of this, it is customary to award some of your loved ones places of honor throughout the ceremony, such as maid of honor or best man, in order to demonstrate how important these people are to you.

In most cases, young girls—nieces or young family members of the couple—are allocated to the post of ‘flower girl’, but one newlywed chose to handle things a little differently: she assigned the position to her four grandmothers!

Lydia Raby was engaged, and her wedding was scheduled for September 22, 2019. While she was planning her wedding reception, she knew she wanted to include a special area for four key women in her life.

‘I knew as soon as I got engaged that I wanted to include my grandmas,’ Lyndsey said in an interview with HuffPost. ‘I felt so fortunate to have them all present, and I wanted them to be a part of it as well.’

The quartet of grannies featured the bride’s 90-year-old great-grandmother, two grandmothers, and the groom’s grandmother.

‘Here Comes the Bride’ was written on the bags of flowers that the four women threw out as they came down the aisle in identical blue lace gowns.

Natalie Caho, a photographer from Benton, Tennessee, was there at the wedding and photographed the special moment. They weren’t like any other flower girls she’d seen before.

Caho remarked on Instagram, ‘I’ve seen a lot of lovely flower girls in my day, but these four beauties top the cake.’

They were not only a unique and wonderful element to the ceremony, but they also seemed to be the life of the party!

‘I was not anticipating the degree of attitude that these girls brought when Lyndsey informed me she was having her grandmothers as her flower girls!’ Caho added.

‘All day, their excitement was that of a young girl in the same situation, and they had so much joy being such a major part of Lyndsey’s day and sharing the spotlight with her,’ Caho said. ‘It only goes to demonstrate that age is nothing more than a number.’

Some of us are fortunate to have elderly relatives in our life who can share their knowledge and experience with us. Sometimes the nicest company a woman can have on her wedding day is a group of caring women who have previously gone through it all.
