For more than seven decades, one family has upheld a special tradition of passing down the same wedding dress.
Three years after Larson Stoneberg's wedding, her younger sister, Eleanor "Elly" Larson, decided to wear the dress for her own wedding to John Milton in June 1953. As the family story goes, "when her mom offered to go shopping for a wedding gown for her, she said, 'Well why would we do that? We'll wear this one,'" Mackey continued.
Sharon Larson wore her eldest sister's wedding dress when she married John Frank on May 17, 1969. She was the third bride to wear the same wedding dress.After the Larson sisters wore the wedding dress, a second generation of brides would go on to wear it nearly two decades later, starting with Susan "Sue" Lianne Stoneberg McCarthy, Adele Larson Stoneberg's daughter, who married Robert "Bob" McCarthy in 1982.
"When I think back to when I was engaged in the late '80s, I never gave it a second thought to get any other dress than the one I had. It was just, I loved my aunts, my mom, my cousin, it was just sort of like, I'm wearing what they wore. It just was not a decision," Zmuda, who married Lawrence Zmuda in 1990, recalled.
For her ceremony, Mackey had a ribbon hem added since she was taller than the past brides, and she wore it with an open neckline and a handmade veil made by her mom. Sharon Frank has been in charge of the wedding dress in recent years. Here, the dress is pictured before being sent for storage following the August wedding of Serena Stoneberg Lipari and Chris Lipari.This past August, Serena Stoneberg Lipari wore her grandmother Adele Larson Stoneberg's dress on her wedding day. She finished her ensemble with another handmade veil from her aunt Sharon, too.
"It was extra special because of the church where it was. ... It was really magical to watch Serena come down the aisle with her dad, our cousin, Mark. I get chills talking about it. It was really special, lots of tears in our eyes, happy tears. It was wonderful," Zmuda said.
