Like Mother, Like Daughter: Then-and-Now Wedding Photos

Francesca Culp, 25, is an only child, so her wedding was very special to her parents, especially her mom. She legally married her husband just two weeks after getting engaged since he's in the Air Force, and they wanted to make it official in case he ended up being deployed.

On September 5, 2014, they celebrated with a wedding reception in Nebraska, and the bride wore a La Sposa wedding gown for the momentous occasion. "I loved the mermaid fit, scalloped neckline, unique design at my waist, and that my dress was all lace. I was pretty comfortable in it despite the fact that it was very heavy," Francesca says.
