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

Erin Evelyn Sorg, 25, got married on January 3, 2015, and her vintage-inspired dress, fully beaded from top to bottom, was fit for a Downton Abbey bride. Her favorite part was witnessing her loved ones' reactions to the gown. "I'll never forget the breathless gasp of joy from my bridesmaids, the tears on my mother's face, or my husband exclaiming 'Oh my God!' when we did our first look," she says.

She accessorized with her mother's pearls; when she was a little girl, she would dress up in them and say "Someday I'm going to wear these pearls when I get married, just like Mommy."
