SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Many brides-to-be pick best friends to serve as their maids or matrons of honor. But Erica Schultz's best buddy isn't a high school friend or a college pal. It's her 92-year-old grandmother.
Angelene Schultz will stand beside her granddaughter when the 26-year-old marries Mark James on Oct. 18 in Bay City.

"She is my best friend," said Erica, who owns a Web design business with her fiance. "When my grandpa died, she bought a house down the street from our family. We both needed someone.
"I still go over to her house every day, to get her mail and prescriptions," she told The Saginaw News.
Schultz used to run down the street to her grandmother's house during high school, to share her "teen drama" and have girlfriends sleep over. She even lived there for a year during college.
When Schultz met James in 2001, they stopped by Angelene Schultz's house on the night of their first date.
And the woman known as Busha or Granny-Mae has been no bystander in the wedding planning process.
She helped choose the wedding gown and will wear her own red dress to the ceremony.
"I feel it is a big honor for me to be in the wedding party, and I'm happy to do it, even if I do raise some eyebrows," said the woman who has five children, 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren
