[PHOTOS] Bride Surprises Grandma By Wearing Her Wedding Gown 55 Years Later

2^min

When bride Jordyn Jensen of Boise, Idaho married groom Dakota Cleverly on Sept. 23, she wore the same long-sleeved lace dress that her grandma Penny Jensen wore at her own wedding back in 1962.

What makes this story even sweeter is that the bride didn’t tell Grandma Penny ― whose husband died before Jordyn was born ― that she planned to wear the dress until the night of the rehearsal dinner. That’s when Jordyn and her wedding photographer Kortney Peterson surprised Penny during a special “first look” photo shoot.

“I didn’t want her to see [the dress] for the first time walking down the aisle and just start sobbing and [have] all those memories come back to her,” Jordyn told Inside Edition.

The photographer shared the emotional images on the Love What Matters Facebook page, calling it, “a first look unlike any other I’ve done before.”

“It was an absolutely beautiful moment and everyone around was silent,” Kortney told HuffPost. “Tears began to stream from everyone’s faces.”

During the shoot, perfectly clear skies suddenly gave way to rain showers, which the family thought could be a sign from the bride’s late grandfather.
