Bride is the 11th family member to wear 120-year-old dress
When Abigail Kingston, 30, from Pennsylvania got engaged she knew she didn’t have to worry about finding the perfect wedding dress – she already knew she would be wearing the heirloom gown that her mother had worn, along with nine other members in their family.
The wedding dress has been in the Kingstons’ family for 120 years. It was first worn in 1895 by the bride's great-great-grandmother and then passed from family member to family member, last debuted in 1991.
“It's not just the dress that's been handed down,” Leslie Kingston, the bride's mother, tells Lehigh Valley Live. “It's the love. Who would think anything would last that long?”
“We're just really happy and blessed we can keep the tradition going,” Leslie Kingston said.
