My Grandmother is wearing WHITE to my wedding...

Monica, on February 19, 2014 at 7:49 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 44

And I don't give a DAMN! I just got off the phone with her. She's in Ohio. She said, "Missy, a lady from church wants to give me a brand new outfit for the wedding but it's off-white and I just wanted to see what you had to say about that." LMAO! I told her she can wear whatever she wants. White, hot pink, leopard...I don't care.

My Granny is 82 years old. She's from Tennessee and though she's lived in Ohio for the better part of those 82 years, she still has a deep Southern accent. She's given birth to 7 children but she's buried 6 of them...including my Daddy. She always makes time to go back to Tennessee for family reunions but she's never been to Florida, never even been on an airplane. I am lucky that I am able to fly her here and have her around for the week of the wedding. In the grand scheme of things...her wearing white to my wedding doesn't even come close to mattering. She will be wearing her brand new off-white outfit and she is gonna look glorious!

    I love that you remember what matters. I lost my grandparents young (my last surviving grandmother passed on when I was 14) and I would love to have any of them (physically) there. I am so excited that my FH's surviving grandmother at our wedding.

    Awe! I think it's so great your granny asked if that would be okay and even better that you don't mind and you're just happy to have her with you on your special day. With that attitude I'm sure your day will be amazing!

    Great perspective! Good for you. I'm sure she'll rock her new outfit and no one will confuse her for the bride.
