Page 6 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 29, 2020 Forestdale Park resident celebrates granddaughter’s wedding I t was a picture-perfect day at Forestdale Park Senior Living Residences in Malden as Beverly Convery sat on the farmer’s porch waiting for a very special visit. Just up the road, at Forestdale Community Church, her granddaughter Emily was getting married to husband Rob, and the couple planned to stop by Forestdale Park to bring the celebration to Beverly. Like so many other brides who had to change their wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Emily had to postpone her planned ceremony and reception, but she made the decision to get married on their original wedding date for one very important reason: Beverly. “I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without my Nani,” said Emily of the decision to bring her celebration to Forestdale Park. “While we had to bump the big party to 2021, we wanted to have a special moment here with her.” When Beverly finally saw her granddaughter in a wedding dress, she was overcome with joy. Staff at Forestdale helped the proud grandmother decorate the community’s farmer’s porch with tulle, and the family spent time together singing, laughing and dancing – all from a safe distance. While it wasn’t the reception that every bride dreams of, for this family it was perfect.
