I'm always watching weird stuff on T.V. and I think I was watching Urban Legends or something similar on T.V. not that long ago and this story really hit an emotional nerve that I just started crying and had to call my grandparents to tell them how much I loved them . . .
Anyway here it goes something like this if I remember correctly. There was this lady we will call her Lucy ( I don't remember the name they used). Lucy was totally excited to be planning her wedding that was coming up in just a few months. She had made set the date, made the reservations, picked out a dress and even asked her grandfather the man she loved most to walk her down the aisle. Lucy loved him a lot and I'm not sure if her actual father was still alive but she it was extremely important that he be the one to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.
The day Lucy went to pick up her wedding dress she asked her grandfather to met her at her house with the rest of the family so they could all see her gown before the day of the wedding. It was a little strange that granddad was late but he finally arrived and Lucy was excited but worried at the same time. Her grandfather was an elderly man and wasn't looking well at all and had been told he hadn't been feeling well the past few days either. Lucy questioned him and he replied by saying that it must be a cold or a virus going around that he'll be fine. Lucy didn't buy the excuse and wanted to make sure he was there on her wedding day so she rearranged everything so she could have the wedding in two more months.
Sadly Lucy's grandfather died before the wedding date and she was devastated. It meant so much for her to have him there that she even thought about canceling the wedding all together because he wouldn't be there to enjoy it with her and her new husband. Instead of canceling the wedding all together Lucy did the unthinkable and moved up her wedding and it would take place a few days after her grandfathers death.
Lucy had the wedding and reception in the church that her grandfather was going to have his funeral. The day of the wedding was wonderful and Lucy' wish came true, her grandfather was there after all. While everyone partied long into the night her grandfather laid off in an adjacent hall way where the family could pay their last respects and could be there with them to enjoy the wedding.
While it might seem odd, really odd Lucy and her family explained that it helped them get over his passing in a more positive way since he didn't miss a thing and they didn't have to wonder what if he granddad were here.
I don't know about you but when I saw this I started bawling like a 2year old. I've always told my grandfather that he is the only person I want to walk me down the aisle even if hes in a wheel chair, hooked to a respirator I told him I wish push, carry or drag him down the aisle myself and I need to because I love him so much. Then again I'm just 20 and not looking to get married anytime soon and he's 81 with kidney failure, diabetes and high blood pressure among other issues and his time is limited and this story just made me think of me and my own wedding,
