A grandma who has never been a bridesmaid lit up "like a little girl" when her granddaughter asked her to be a bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding. As Gail Shadix opened a package presented to her by granddaughter Olivia , she read a note asking if she would do her the honor. "Really?" Gail, 68, asked Olivia, 23, before joyously declaring, "I've never been a bridesmaid before." "Well, here's your chance," Olivia replied with a smile on her face. The moment took place on April 5 at Gail's home in Arlington, Texas, and after the reveal, Olivia headed over to her grandma, who she calls "Nana," for a tearful hug. Olivia said that when she got engaged she started thinking about who she would want by her side, and since her Nana had been there throughout every step of her life, she couldn't think of a more fitting person. Friends come and go, Olivia said, but Gail has always been there and is one of her best friends. Olivia had prepared small "proposal boxes" for each of her bridesmaids, and so she wrote "Nana" on the front of one and then presented to Gail ahead of the big day planned for New Year's Eve 2022.
