Daughters Escort Bride Down the Aisle
Just as the Maid of Honor started walking, both girls looked at each other, and knelt down on the marble floor of the vestibule, folded their hands, and began to pray.I've now been a Detail Coordinator (wedding planner) for two weddings. At this wedding, the bride was a widow who has two daughters, ages 4 and 6. The bride wanted her little ones to escort her down the aisle, instead of her father. Very specifically, the bride's daughters were not flower girls; they were her bridal escorts. I was standing with the bride, keeping her daughters occupied right before they received the cue to walk mom down the aisle. Just as the Maid of Honor started walking, both girls looked at each other, and knelt down on the marble floor of the vestibule, folded their hands, and began to pray. The bride and I couldn't look at each other; tears welled up in our eyes. Two little angels with flowers and white dresses quietly knelt on the floor, praying for their new family. Heaven offers glimpses on Earth on rare occasions - this was one of them.
