This bride had the best surprise for her grandma

This past weekend, family and friends gathered together to watch childhood sweethearts Jordyn and Dakota Skye Cleverly exchange vows.

Jordyn was the image of perfection in a vintage white lace wedding gown that was fitted at the waist and featured long sleeves and a flared skirt. It wasn’t designer, but it held a deep meaning.

Jordyn wore the very dress her grandma got married in from 1962.

“I decided to wear my grandmother’s wedding dress over two years ago,” Jordyn told Yahoo Canada.

“I played with the idea of wearing her dress while trying on new designer dresses, but came to the realisation that I wasn’t going to find that ‘antiqued/vintage style’ dress within our budget — but especially with the sentimental value as well.”

Jordyn’s grandma, who has been a widow for 23 years, had no idea the dress was in her granddaughter’s possession. So when she saw Jordyn walk down the aisle in the gown she wore 55 years ago, her reaction was priceless.

“She was completely and utterly speechless. She whispered to me, ‘I married my high school sweetheart in this dress, now so will you,’ ” Jordyn said.

“We actually started dating in middle school! It was the most spiritual and emotional moment of my life. No better way to pay tribute to the legacy of my widowed grandmother. I couldn’t be happier or more blessed.”

Wedding photographer Kortney Peterson describes the first look between the bride and her grandma as one of the most “unique and beautiful” moments she’s ever gotten to capture.

“As the bride walked outside to see her grandma, it began to rain. We all viewed the rain as teardrops from heaven looking down. Teardrops from her grandfather. It made the moment just that much more beautiful and special,” Peterson told Yahoo Canada.
