Bride gets married in the same 1950 dress worn by her Mother AND Grandmother
Choosing the perfect wedding dress could not have been easier for sentimental Lucy Popovic. The bride, 31, had imagined since she was a little child how she would look on her big day – in the white flowing gown worn by her mother AND grandmother at their weddings.
Romantic Lucy said: “I had always thought the dress was beautiful – and hoped that one day I would get to wear it. I felt really lucky to be able to use it.” The family helped her give the six decades old garment a spruce up after she announced she was to marry Australian partner Mark Popovic. Rather strangely, they used a homemade mixture of aspirin and white vinegar to restore the dress to its former glory.
And in another touch of nostalgia, Lucy and Mark picked the 63rd wedding anniversary of her gran Mel and grandad Ian Calder, who had wed in South Kensington, Central London, in 1950. Lucy, from Solva in Pembrokeshire, Wales, said: “The occasion had extra significance to be able to share it with them. “It will be something we will always treasure. My grandparents have had such a long and happy marriage and we hope we will be celebrating both wedding anniversaries for many years to come.”
