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

Amy's mother, Marilyn, and father, Howard, have been married for over 50 years; here, they're pictured on their wedding day (June 25, 1961). "I have learned so much just from watching their relationship and seeing how they are still so in love. That it's important to be best friends and advocates, and to see each other as life partners," Amy says.

Her mom also passed down her sense of intuition, ability to be tough in a crisis, passion for learning, and stubbornness (which comes in handy sometimes). In fact, the pair are so close "I love that we often know what the other is feeling and thinking without having to say a word!"
