Millie - daughter of Sue and Noel Radford - took to her Instagram Stories to share an adorable picture of Ophelia.
The snap showed the little girl grinning widely as she sported a wedding veil - presumably from when she joined her mum to shop for a wedding dress for her upcoming nuptials.
"Extremely proud of our little Ophelia recently," Millie wrote over the top of the

She's also not having any more bottles, and has "been amazing helping her brother settle into nursery".
Millie also tagged fiance Harley in the post and, clearly equally proud, he went on to share it on his own Instagram Stories.

Harley popped the question during the Radford family's trip to Disneyland in Florida in April.
But the moment almost went completely wrong thanks to a blunder.
Sue and Noel reflected on the proposal in a recent episode of the show, as Noel said: "Harley was a bit odd wasn’t he.
“It was like ‘what’s he up to?’, he wasn’t his usual self.”
Sue added: “You could tell that he'd obviously got something on his mind.”
That evening, Harley got down on one knee - but ended up dropping the diamond ring.
What's the NHS advice on when to give up dummies?
MILLIE Radford's daughter is almost four and has only just got rid of her dummies.
But when SHOULD you stop your child relying on pacifiers, according to the NHS?
"If you have chosen to use a dummy, it should be gently withdrawn between 6 and 12 months, to avoid possible longer-term problems associated with dummy use (such as ear infections or misalignment of teeth)," the health organisation says on their website.
Millie also said that Ophelia has only just come off the bottles too.
But the NHS says that drinking from a bottle should be discouraged as soon as your tot turns one.

Sue and Noel later reflected on the upcoming wedding, as Sue said: "It's so exciting, this is a big thing for us.
