First worn in 1950, the dress has now made its way down the aisle eight times.
Bride Serena Stoneberg, center, stands with six women in her family who have all worn the same wedding dress, at Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Chicago, Aug. 5, 2022.For more than seven decades, one family has upheld a special tradition of passing down the same wedding dress. Now, they're continuing the custom by preserving it for a new generation of relatives.Adele Larson first wore the classic satin gown at her wedding to Roy Stoneberg on Sept. 16, 1950.
"When I attended my sisters' weddings, I was 5 years old and 8, so I don't think I really thought about it very much. I was a flower girl. I adored my sisters," Frank, now 77, told "GMA." "I just assumed I'd wear the dress, and not because I felt obligated to, just because I thought, 'We've got a dress. I'll wear the dress because my sisters had worn it.' It just seemed like a fun thing, a good thing to do.
"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.
"It was just never even a question. Never any family pressure but it just was something I really looked up to and really wanted to be a part of," Mackey said of her decision to wear the dress.
