A photo of Nana Millie, decked out in a purple wedding gown that she designed herself, began circulating on Facebook on Sunday, with many complimenting her timeless beauty and impeccable sense of style.
The bride and groom
According to Huffington Post, on Oct.16, she married Harold Morrison, 85, at Zion Hill Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey in front of 200 friends and family.
Her granddaughter Khadija Elkharbibi told The Huffington Post that all of the guests - and especially the groom - were blown away by her big day look.
“The look on everyone’s face when they saw her, but especially the look on Mr. Harold’s face when he saw her walking down the aisle รข€• it was the absolute sweetest thing you could ever see!” she said. “He teared up. It was beautiful! My Nana just beamed with happiness, it was truly a sight to see.”
Nana Millie was married to Khadija’s grandpa for 41 years before he died in 1992. She knew Harold since the 1950s - he was even a guest at her first wedding.
The new bride and her granddaughters
After the ceremony, guests headed to Richfield Regency in Verona, New Jersey for the reception. The room was decorated beautifully and lit with purple lights that complemented Nana Millie’s gown.
