She then got to chatting with this bride’s own mom, who revealed to her that they were extremely poor and they all had borrowed money to have this wedding.
The bride, the bride’s husband, the bride’s mom, and the bride’s dad had all gotten different loans in order to afford to have a wedding at all.
She kept talking to the bride and her mom and she learned that the bride, who is plus-size, already had visited 6 bridal shops to find a dress, but there were not a lot of dresses for her to pick from, and the ones she tried on were totally terrible.
In that particular shop they were all in though, the bride found a gorgeous wedding dress, but the bridal consultant had not read the cost of it properly.
Sadly, this dress was $1,000 more than the bride’s budget, and after taking into consideration the cost of her alterations, would be $1,400 more than what she could afford to spend.
“The bride took the dress off and said she’d try to find something online,” she explained. “I grew up poor and I was also a chubby kid.”
“I was bullied and I was very unhappy. I always wanted more and in this bride, I saw myself and I didn’t want her to have to settle for a dress that fit versus a dress she loved so while my daughter was changing I asked the other bride if I could pay the difference on her dress.”
“It was very emotional, we all held each other and cried, she accepted. I very happily paid the difference on her dress.”
She’s friends with the bride and the bride’s mom on social media now, and she was also asked to come to the wedding, which she was so excited to be able to go to with her husband.
It’s so meaningful to her that she was able to do something “small” to help this stranger out in an enormous way, and she’s so very touched that she was invited to this woman’s upcoming wedding.
She really did such an unbelievably kind thing for this bride, and it’s wonderful to know that there are people like this out there in the world.
