Wagnor is very close to her grandparents, who lived nearby when she was growing up. She said she remembers seeing a photo of her grandmother in her wedding dress in their home as a child, and dreamed about wearing the gorgeous gown when she was old enough.
Shanna Wagnor
Wagnor's grandma was a student at U.C. Berkeley and her grandpa was serving in Germany after World War II when they got engaged.
She said her grandpa wrote her grandma a letter asking her to marry him. She promptly packed her bags and flew to Germany to tie the knot. They have now been married for over 60 years.
Her grandma chose her dress, a chic, classic midi-length garment, because it was easy to carry in her suitcase, Wagnor said.
"She had to find a dress pretty quickly, and one would travel light," she said.
When it came time for Wagnor to get married, she decided she wanted her own dress for her big day. But, she wanted to honor her love for her grandma's dress somehow.
