When Peg McCormack broke her ankle just before her grandson Brian Kurtilik's Nov. 7 wedding, the family didn't think she'd be able to be a part of the special day.
Instead of letting her miss out, Brian and Lauren took a detour on the way to their reception to pay McCormack a visit at the rehabilitation center she was in.
McCormack — who thought that the couple was going to stop by the day after the wedding before they headed out of town — was stunned to see them there in their wedding finest.
Even though she couldn't attend, McCormack had still gotten dressed up in her wedding outfit, shoes, and corsage that morning.
Brian and Lauren spent half an hour visiting with the 91-year-old McCormack, who had been "living" for the wedding day, Nolan said.
“She lived only a half-hour away and was a big part of our lives growing up,” Brian told ABC News. “Anything going on in our lives, she was there.”
McCormack passed away a month after the wedding, but now the newlyweds have the photos to cherish forever.
