Lynda Carter's only daughter, Jessica Altman, got married this May in an intimate ceremony that celebrated love and family. In 2021, mother and daughter mourned the loss of Carter's husband, Robert Altman. Jessica's dress paid tribute to her late father in a subtle but powerful way. Carter and Altman met in 1982 at a dinner hosted by Maybelline, while Carter was in the process of splitting from her first husband, only to feel an instant connection she did not expect. The two married in '84 and had two children: James (1988) and Jessica (1990). Here is the latest in the family's personal milestones, a most poignant celebration.

Ripken. Later in the summer, Altman took to Instagram to share photos from the event.

The dress itself was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. It was primarily made of silk and charmeuse - but it did bear a meaningful twist. A piece of one of Robert's shirts had been sewn into the fabric. Gaultier's designers also used leftover shirt fabric to make a pillow for the couple's wedding rings to sit on. Carter and Jessica keep Robert's memory close to their hearts View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lynda Carter (@reallyndacarter) Jessica and Ross met through the dating app Bumble back in 2017. When they hit it off, Jessica told her mother she met someone she felt certain Carter would love and that Robert would have approved of. Indeed, Carter has named herself a big fan of Ross, appreciating his work ethic and his way of laughing at all her jokes and even called him a "Renaissance man."

Without Robert, Jessica was walked down the aisle by her brother James. The whole event was a tribute to family and loved ones, as a string quartet began playing the song "Clumsy," written by Jessica herself detailing her experience of falling in love with Ross.
