The 89-year-old told “World News Tonight” that it was an honor to attend. “I’m so happy to be here to attend my daughter’s wedding,” Roberts said.
The vows, the rings and thevwedding kiss was held in the nursing center’s courtyard. The newlyweds said that they could not have had the wedding without Roberts.
“To see my mom in the window … it was more than we could have ever, ever possibly have asked for,” Roberts-Williams said. “It really was a breathtaking moment.”
