When it came time for her wedding, Sarah knew exactly who she wanted by her side as her bridesmaid. It wasn’t her sister or her best friend – it was her 89-year-old grandmother, Ethel.

Ethel had always been a special part of Sarah’s life. She had been there for her through thick and thin, and had always been a source of comfort and support. So, when Sarah got engaged, she knew that she wanted to honor her grandmother in a special way.

Despite her age, Ethel was thrilled to be a part of her granddaughter’s big day. She may not have been as spry as she used to be, but she was still full of life and energy. She went shopping with Sarah to pick out her dress, and even helped with the planning and decorating.

On the day of the wedding, Ethel looked resplendent in her bridesmaid dress, her eyes shining with joy and pride. She stood beside Sarah as they exchanged vows, beaming with happiness at the union of her granddaughter and her new husband.

Throughout the day, Ethel brought a sense of liveliness and warmth to the celebration. She danced with the guests, shared stories and memories with everyone she met, and made sure that everyone was having a good time.

As the evening wore on, Sarah took a moment to pull her grandmother aside and thank her for being a part of the day. Ethel’s eyes filled with tears as she hugged her granddaughter tight.

“I’m so proud of you, my dear,” she said. “You have grown into such a beautiful young woman, and I am honored to have been a part of your special day.”

The memory of that wedding day stayed with Sarah for the rest of her life. She treasured the moments that she had shared with her grandmother, and the way that Ethel had brought a sense of joy and love to the celebration.

And as she grew older, Sarah would always remember the lesson that her grandmother had taught her – that age is just a number, and that no matter how old we get, we can always find ways to bring light and warmth to the world around us.
