95-year-old grandmother makes beautiful flower girl
Who says there’s an age limit for flower girls?
When news anchor, Emilie Voss, wedded Ben Bohland on Janurary 23rd in Palm Springs, California, they knew they weren’t going to have any children at the wedding ceremony. So, they saw it as the perfect opportunity to make sure their grandparents were an important part of their big day. Emilie asked her grandmother, Alice, to be her flower girl, and Ben asked his grandfather to serve as ring bearer.
“I can still hear her saying ‘Ohhhh, Emmy’ when I asked her to be in the wedding,” the bride told The Huffington Post. “I don’t think she thought I was serious at first. But once she realised I was, she was very excited. She wanted to know what she was going to wear!”
Emilie speaks fondly of her grandmother, attributing her “adventurous spirit” to the 95-year-old, and affectionately calling saying she’s her “number one fan”.
At the end of 2015, Alice was hospitalised due to some serious health issues, but her positive spirit remained unwavering. Emilie wasn’t the least bit concerned about having to find a replacement. “I knew she would make a full recovery because she may be small but she is mighty!”
