What does a woman’s wedding gown symbolize? Naturally, the way that each person responds to this question will vary depending on their personal experiences. There is no doubt that selecting the ideal one, wearing it on one’s wedding day, and having it connected to priceless memories are no small matters. Briefly put, wedding dresses have the potential to become priceless heirlooms.
However, some women may eventually forget about their dress that is kept in the attic or a cellar, or it may go missing for some other reason. However, some people are able to keep their wedding gowns over the years and wear them on occasion. And the woman we want to tell you about in this article fits this description.
There are some women who have managed to keep their wedding dresses in perfect condition over the years and even wear them to celebrate an anniversary. This is the case with Janith Goedde, 80, who got famous on the web for a story about her wedding dress.
To celebrate her 60th wedding anniversary, Janith decided to take out her wedding dress and to wear it once again for the big occasion. Not everyone reaches this milestone and it’s nice to think that Janith and her husband were able celebrate this special day surrounded by their loved ones. Of course, the dress was no longer a perfect fit – as it was on May 11, 1957, when 20-year-old Janith and 24-year-old Joe got married Haubstadt, Indiana – but their emotions were just as strong.

Janith stated that she didn’t do anything special to store the dress: a plastic bag and, perhaps, a lot of love was enough for it to remain intact over the years. The dress had only cost $69.95 at the time but managed to survive the passage of time. “She has always been beautiful,” said Joe looking at his wife in her wedding dress.
We thank this happy couple for sharing this important moment with us. We hope with all our hearts that their love will last and that they will celebrate many more wedding anniversaries to come.
