The Bride Again

Mom: Phyllis Cowman
Son: Patrick Mahoney
Era: 1968

The reason Piper loved it: Another favorite photo was sent to me by a son of his mother's sixth wedding. (You don't see that very often.) He remembers picking out her outfit beforehand. She's since passed away, so sending me this picture was his way of giving her a loving tribute.
