My Grandma VanderVoord made this beautiful dress about 57 years ago and wore it on her wedding day. Then 26 years ago my mother was able to wear it on her wedding day. For years I had wanted to wear it on my wedding day. I thought it would be so special to wear the same dress that both my mom and grandma had worn on their wedding days, but Grandma always said, "oh, you don't want to wear that old thing." Oh, course I did! But she claimed it would fall apart. While I didn't wear the dress on my wedding day, I was able to try it on with Grandma's original veil.
I did end up getting a new dress for the wedding, but Grandma picked it out. She was the one that pulled the dress off the rack and had me try it on. Thank-you Grandma!
