A few weeks ago, bride-to-be Deux Aubrey ordered a wedding dress on the Internet and couldn’t wait to receive it
When the dress finally arrived at her doorstep, Aubrey was sleep-deprived, in a rush between jobs, and generally upset with having to prepare for her big day online
This is how the dress was being marketed
But when her partner laced her up, Aubrey looked like this
She got really angry and contacted the company, trying to return the dress
But after going through her photos, the company told Aubrey she had worn the dress inside out
The woman made a humorous Facebook post explaining the situation
“To answer confusion, yes, I said ‘husband’ [and] no, I’m not taking a second [one],” Aubrey said in an update of the post. “We signed the paper for us but are planning a wedding for photos, families, and friends at a better point for us financially. You are never too late to have a wedding of your dreams and never allow the stress of self-paid wedding finances dictate your readiness to commit to each other.”
The couple both work in a field where they see that people aren’t promised another day, let alone another year, and constantly watch lives cut short before they ever get the chance to flourish. “That decision for us was before Covid but now definitely many brides are finding themselves in the same boat. A marriage and a wedding never have to happen on the same day, all in the timeline that works for you. People who love you will understand your financial [situation] or current safety constraints and show up later down the road anyway,” Aubrey said.
“I’ll take a real pic [in the dress] when we finally get to walk down the aisle in a pandemic-free setting and may recirculate this moment for another stressed out bride, once again. The save the dates we send out to our loved ones are for sure gonna say something like ‘to see the dress worn right’.”
Aubrey said you can cry about the disasters and imperfect moments that hit us when we least expect them, or you can laugh into forever. “I’m glad you could join us with a light heart and laugh with us into that forever. May your wedding ‘disasters’ be simple fixes or at least one day hysterical in retrospect too.”
