Bride wears grandma’s wedding dress from 1961 down the aisle – that she stored in a garbage bag


Many females often find themselves daydreaming about their wedding. The wedding dress is also among the top considerations for them. The majority of women often have pretty clear ideas about what they want to wear.

Additionally, this bride was certain of her fashion preferences.

In 2016, Allie Livingwater, then age 23, was rummaging in her grandmother's cellar when she discovered something very priceless in a trash bag. She immediately realized that she will wear that exact dress down the aisle herself one day.

She realized it was time to don the garment five years later when she became engaged to Timothy Livingwater. About 60 years ago, her grandmother wore the same garment to her own wedding, and Allie would be donning it once more.

Allie couldn't have more happier when she donned the unique outfit on September 25. And her grandma, who gave Allie her "something old" and "something borrowed" with her clothing, was overjoyed in a similar way.

The dress fit Allie like a glove after being expertly cleaned; no alterations were required. Allie just altered it by adding a hoop skirt underneath.

Of course, seeing her granddaughter in her wedding attire go down the aisle at Turners Falls brought her grandma to tears.

Allie Livingwater discussed her wedding and the significance of her outfit on Facebook. In order to show everyone what the outfit looked like, she uploaded a side-by-side photo of herself and her grandma wearing it.

She emphasized how her wedding will be a memorable occasion that she would remember for the rest of her life.

Given that Allie has lived with her grandmother since she was a baby, they share a very unique relationship. After Allie's grandmother's 38-year marriage ended in divorce, the family moved in with her. Even though Allie had never even seen her grandfather, wearing her grandmother's wedding gown made her feel more connected to him.

The grandmother of Allie was filled with emotion since she never dreamed that her granddaughters would wear her dress to a wedding, let alone another one. She had dismissed it, believing it would never be useful again.

What a heartwarming tale and touching interaction between a grandma and her grandchild. I wish everyone could have a grandparent connection like this.
