A five-generation wedding to remember

When one Florida couple open up their wedding albums in the coming years, they will be perusing a record of family history.

That is because when John Foster and Patti Rose tied the knot recently, five generations of the groom's family were there to share the experience, the St Petersburg Times reports.

The guests included Foster's 84-year-old grandmother, 69-year-old mother, 27-year-old son and 2-year-old grandson. A total of 55 people witnessed the ceremony.

"We wanted to have a ceremony and bring the family together," Foster told the news provider.

Wedding photography published in the newspaper shows the bride meeting her new husband's grandmother for the first time.

"I knew she meant a lot to John, and he had said she was feisty," Rose commented. "She told me, 'You better take care of my grandson.' ''

Even if they are not able to invite five generations of family members to their wedding, many people choose to incorporate an item or heirloom from the past into their big day.

Some women wear a family wedding gown. And antique jewelry is currently a big trend in accessories, according to the Wedding Report.
