"She asked me about 10 times, 'Are you sure?' and 'Why would you want an old lady in your bridal party?'" Christine told the Huffington Post.

Not only was Nana Betty adorable - she was the life of the party!

"She had the entire wedding party laughing with her words of wisdom and funny comments throughout the day," Christine said. "Nana got on the party bus with the rest of the wedding party instead of 'going home to rest' but did not tell my mom (her daughter). She also danced the entire night away, including an adorable moment when she and my husband's grandmother, Bellsie, danced together. It was amazing."
