A bride and and groom couldn’t say “I do” without their “200 grandparents” present.
Taylor Orlando met her husband, Jason, when they were both working at Baywinde Senior Living Center in Webster, N.Y., according to RochesterFirst. The bride explained to the local news outlet that she affectionately calls the residents her “200 grandparents,” and couldn’t imagine celebrating her wedding without them.
“I’m excited to celebrate this big chapter of my life with them,” Taylor said on her wedding day.
The couple got married on Saturday, Aug. 9, and had a second ceremony that evening at the senior living center to honor the residents who watched the pair grow up and now tie the knot.
“My senior year of high school, I met my husband here. I was a server, he was working maintenance,” Taylor explained. “We just kinda crossed paths, connected there, and then the rest is history.”
Taylor started as a server at age 15 and worked her way up to being the dining services director.
“Being a dining director, I don’t look like this most of the time at work, so I think it’s going to throw them off a little bit seeing me done up,” Taylor joked while wearing her wedding attire.
For the big day, the bride styled her hair in an updo with a few wispy curled pieces of hair hanging out to frame her face. She wore a sleeveless wedding dress, simple jewelry and soft makeup.
In the news footage, Taylor could be seen hugging several of the senior residents.
