A grandma Martha has become Britain's oldest bridesmaid when she followed her granddaughter down the aisle at the wedding ceremony on her 100th birthday, according to Xinhua, London.
Photos of the wedding was posted on Tuesday by photographer Beth Faulder on his studio's blog, showing bride Vita Cresswell, 29, welcomes and kisses her grandmother Martha Wallbank before the wedding.
As the Huffington Post reported, when Cresswell told her grandmother that she would marry her partner of eight years, Gary Whineray, the proud gran asked to be the bridesmaid. Wallbank's zeal moved the couple and inspired them to get her even more involved. Therefore, they chose the wedding day to coincide with Wallbank's 100th birthday.
"It couldn't have worked out any better," Cresswell said. "We got her posies and she was in the same colors as the other bridesmaids. She was singing and laughing and waving at everybody," she said.
At the wedding, after the young couple tied the knot, the vicar announced that it was also Wallbank's big day and the whole congregation sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
"She is such a big part of all our lives. She's amazing," said Cresswell.
