92-year-old flower girl steals show at Minnesota wedding
MANKATO, Minn. — While Abby Arlt and Dustin Mershon, of Mankato, Minnesota, got their dream wedding, it was the flower girl who stole the show.
She was the bride’s 92-year-old grandmother, Georgiana Arlt, of Chaska. Pushing her walker down the grass aisle Saturday, she tossed a path of flower petals as guests cheered and applauded. As she finished her duties and sat down, she said with a laugh, "That was hard work!"
Abby Arlt tells <a href="http://kare11.tv/2uPaWV6" target="_blank">KARE-TV</a> she always wanted her grandparents to be the flower girl and ring bearer at her wedding. But her grandfather passed away a year ago. However, he gave the groom his blessing just a week before he died.
Georgiana Arlt told her granddaughter she had never been in any wedding besides her own, 72 years ago.
