Francesca's mother, Adrianna, tied the knot in 1986 wearing a JC Penney dress. "Of course, she looked gorgeous and rocked those lace sleeves!" her daughter says.
"One of the things I love most about her is how giving she is. Ever since I was little, she's instilled in me not only the importance of counting our blessings but also serving those who are less fortunate," Francesca adds. For example, Adrianna runs reo bakpak, a company that donates school supplies to children's organizations in downtown Los Angeles.
Her marriage advice for her daughter was sweet and to the point: "Be good to him, and he'll be good to you!" Right now, Francesca's husband is stationed in Nebraska while she's finishing her clinical rotations as an occupational therapist in Los Angeles. "We can't wait to continue being newlyweds since we've been apart for almost our entire first year of marriage," she says.
