Brenna Klemen most likely did not expect to be outshone at her own wedding. But, in retrospect, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Brenna knew she wanted her grandmother to play a key role in her wedding to the love of her life, Brock Kendall, back in April. When the ICU nurse was talking with a patient about her approaching wedding, inspiration struck.”
I was taking care of a very sick elderly woman who told me the story about how she was a flower girl for her grandchild,” the bride explained. She fell in love with the concept and decided to replicate it for her own wedding. Her grandma, who wishes to remain anonymous, was enthusiastic, however fears set in before she started walking down the aisle.”[Grandma] was very emotional,” Brenna reported.
“She was almost in tears because she wanted to make sure she did okay on my special day.”But, as heartwarming images by photographer Thomas Felts demonstrated, she did more than just good – she utterly stole the show! All eyes were on the flower girl as she arrived at the end of the aisle and hurled petals into the air, beaming with joy.
“Every time she threw more petals in the air, our family cheered louder,” Brenna recalled, adding that all of the wedding guests were smiling. That day became more than a marriage celebration; it became a joy festival.While Brenna was overjoyed by her grandmother’s ability to light up the room with her contagious personality, no one was more overjoyed than Brenna’s grandfather, who told the photographer, “That’s my flower girl.”
Brenna’s cousin published the photographs on Facebook, and they quickly went viral. People couldn’t get enough of the lovely old lady who could make anyone smile. Brenna is overjoyed to be able to share her grandmother with the rest of the world. “My grandmother taught me that life is too short to dwell on the negatives.” “As she’d say, ‘Oh hell, oh well,’ and ‘Happiness is a choice,’” Brenna explained.
“She is my inspiration, and I hope that she can inspire you too — one flower petal at a time.”Brenna’s cousin published the photographs on Facebook, and they quickly went viral.
