This afternoon, 60 years later, her garment will be worn again. Norma Pesch, now 85, is one of eight women at the Overland Park Place retirement center presenting their wedding dresses in an intimate fashion show.
Granddaughters and Overland Park Place employees will strut the runway in the gowns while the owners dish out wisdom about courtship and romance.
They hope their stories inspire their daughters, granddaughters and employees at the retirement center. After all, their dresses stand as symbols for love and unity. Friendship and romance. Keeping vows through sickness and health.
