Such a lovely memory penned in such a lovely way. Great job! I have often wondered why we so carefully "save" our wedding dresses and maybe this is why - so our family can share our special memories in a more vivid way than words alone convey.

Velvet memory - beautiful phrase about a loved and prized item. I can only image how it might be to have three generations marry in a memory such as this. My wishes for good luck in the contest. AT=/

I adore your poem and especially liked the last stanza.. our velvet memory. By itself it seems to give the entire piece so much more meaning. You wrote it beautifully, and thanks for sharing

This is beautifully penned and meets the contest requirements splendidly. That is pretty awesome that so many generations wore the same dress since most youngsters want something new and of their own - very little respect paid to tradition these days. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

What a lovely story and tradition to be passed on through the generations. It speaks volumes that the next generation would want to wear it. The love that has spiraled from it is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Your poem very gracefully slides through time. I thought it was primarily mother and daughter, your last stanza hitting the right note to really show how much the dress and tradition means to your family.

This is truly lovely. All around. Well written, well thought out, and the subject matter. Wow. And the visual!
Oh my, not many people can say this, or write it so well.

The white wedding dress is no longer the only choice in today's world. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.
