When a bride’s 95-year-old grandmother couldn’t come to her wedding, the couple decided to bring the wedding to her.
Lauren Parks has always had a very close relationship with her grandmother Marie Engelking. Parks and her three younger sister’s other grandparents died when they were very young and since her grandmother lived in a neighboring suburb, she was a huge part of their lives growing up.Two years ago, Parks's grandmother Marie was placed in a memory care unit when she developed dementia.
Since Parks’ grandmother couldn’t go to the wedding, Parks wanted to bring a piece of the wedding to her. Parks's original plan was to go visit her grandmother a couple of days after her wedding and take a few pictures with her while wearing her wedding dress, but her small plan quickly became a tiny second wedding party. Her new husband Tommy hopped on board, borrowing a suit jacket from Parks's father. Her mom and youngest sister also both agreed to put back on their dresses and accompany her to the memory care facility.
The family led Engelking inside the music room with a"processional" and placed her among the “wedding guests” or 25 or so of the other residents of the memory care facility. Parks and her husband shared a first kiss and even a first dance to"What a Wonderful World." To celebrate, they handed Engelking a piece of the memory care facility’s key lime pie for"wedding cake.
