Woman’s grandmothers are her bridesmaids in coronavirus wedding
The grandmothers didn't immediately embrace the idea
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Like many other brides over the last year, Megan Kennedy had to dramatically downsize her wedding because of the coronavirus pandemic.
What had started as a big guest list was pared down to only 15 people by the time she and her fiance Thomas Cahoon were getting married in October.
Kennedy wasn’t going to be able to have all 10 of her bridesmaids at her ceremony, so she asked her two grandmothers to be her bridesmaids instead, BBC reported.

She told BBC’s Radio 1 Newsbeat that at first, her grandmothers thought the idea was "a bit stupid" because, they said, they were "too old."
"They were flattered but they just thought it was ridiculous," Kennedy said.

However, they eventually came around to the idea.
Gillian Holloway, 80, and Mary Kennedy, 90, traveled to London for the wedding, BBC reported.

Kennedy said that asking her grandmothers to be her bridesmaids was a way to help make the ceremony even better for them.
