Wedding repeat: Couple says 'I do' again for benefit of grandmother with Alzheimer's at senior care home
Fox News
A happy wedding day is recreated by a couple in the U.K. who wanted to make sure the bride's grandmother, who is 91 and has Alzheimer's, could be part of their marriage celebrations.
The pair then re-enacted their vows in a more intimate setting exactly two weeks later in the grounds of the care home where Rebecca Heppell's grandmother, Peggy Dracup, is currently living. The couple's first wedding took place on August 5; after their honeymoon, they returned home to recreate the special day on August 29. "And we weren’t as nervous the second time round. It was much more relaxed." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
The grandmother is 91 and reportedly has Alzheimer’s. She wasn't able to attend the first ceremony, said SWNS — so the couple repeated the ceremony 164 miles away in order to make her part of their big day.
