Mackey's mom, Sharon Larson, would follow in her sisters' footsteps and became the third bride to wear the cream-colored dress when she married John Frank in May 1969.

It would be another 22 years until the dress would be taken out of storage and zhuzhed up for its time in the spotlight at Mackey's February 2013 wedding to Tom Mackey. "At the beginning, there was never any intention -- going back in the '50s - that this was going to become this decadeslong tradition.

"By the time the next generation started wearing it, then we became aware that we need to preserve it. So my mother Sharon has assumed that responsibility.
