Bride And Groom Have A Special Surprise For The Groom's Grandma
January 11, 2016
Just One Quick Stop...
Weddings are an exciting time for all involved. And it's an event you want attended by everyone who is special in your life. Which is exactly why Brian and his bride-to-be, Lauren, were devastated to learn the groom's grandma wouldn't be able to make their big day.

Not only was Brian the first of her grandkids to be wed, but the ceremony was taking place in the same church where Peg herself had been married. Sadly, though, she broke her ankle and there was no way she would be able to make it. But after saying, "I do," at the church, the newlyweds came up with the perfect solution. While on their way to the reception, the sweet couple made an impromptu detour to the rehabilitation center where Brian's grandma was being treated. [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] Thankfully, they had their photographer, Rachel Nolan of Hello Gorgeous Photography, in tow. And darling Peg was overjoyed by the surprise visit!

Unaware of the couple's plans, Peg had wanted to celebrate the special day in her own way. So, she'd put on the dress she'd been planning to wear to the wedding -- a touching surprise for Brian and his bride when they arrived. Rachel, the photographer, recalls the beautiful moment, saying,"There she sat in her wedding outfit thinking of her sweet grandson on his wedding day with no idea of what was to come. She truly had no idea that Brian and Lauren were going to take time out of their wedding day to come see her and I think that is part of what made it special."[caption id="attachment_22557" align="aligncenter" width="571"] Credit: Hello Gorgeous Photography[/caption] Peg even wore the corsage she was to wear at the wedding. [caption id="attachment_22555" align="aligncenter" width="571"] Credit: Hello Gorgeous Photography[/caption] There wasn't a dry eye in the room, as the elated woman gradually transitioned from speechless wonder to joyously repeating the words, "I have a granddaughter!" [caption id="attachment_22554" align="alignnone" width="571"] Credit: Hello Gorgeous Photography[/caption] Brian, Lauren and several other family members spent 30 minutes visiting with Peg, before heading to the wedding reception.
"She was so thankful and just beside herself,” Brian said.[caption id="attachment_22558" align="aligncenter" width="571"] Credit: Hello Gorgeous Photography[/caption] In addition to the pictures, the incredible moment was also captured on video by Charles Anthony Studio. And the last minute decision to surprise Brian's grandma is one the couple will treasure forever. The Lord called the Peg home just a few weeks after the wedding, but the expression of pure joy on Peg's face is a special moment the husband and wife will cherish forever.

Worrying does nothing to benefit our lives in any way; it only takes away. It takes away the present moments and present joy you could experience, not to mention it takes away from a peaceful life.
