Bride's Mother's Vintage A-Line Wedding Dress

“With my Dad's ALS diagnosis the year of my engagement, I wanted to do something special for him,” Caitlyn says. “I chose to wear the wedding dress my mother married my father in. I had all these ideas of the dress I wanted, but more than anything a wedding is about love and family, and that dress was just that. It was so beautiful. We didn’t tell my dad, so it was a sweet surprise for him on my wedding day.”
