The flower girls stole the show at Lyndsey Raby's wedding, just like she knew they would.
Donning matching blue dresses, Lyndsey's grandmothers — Betty Brown, 72, Kathleen Brown, 90, Wanda Grant, 76, and Joyce Raby, 72 — made their way down the aisle ahead of her during the Sept. 22 nuptials in Benton, Tennessee. "I'm so lucky," Lyndsey told Today Style. "A lot of women don't get one grandparent at their wedding, and I was blessed to have all of them."
The flower girls had a blast, although there was a bit of a disagreement over the dresses, Lyndsey said — her grandmother Betty Brown insisted they wear something long, while Betty's mother Kathleen Brown, Lyndsey's great-grandmother, would have preferred something shorter. The newest member of the family is Joyce Raby, Lyndsey's husband Tanner's grandmother, and she has already bonded with the crew. "They're all besties now, and talking on Facebook," Lyndsey said. "Family is the most important thing to all of us."
