My sister got married 4 years ago. She had her beautiful wedding dress made by a tailor she loved. Some months ago, she told us she’d put it on a second-hand website to sell it because she and her husband could use the money.
I knew it obviously had a huge sentimental value. She was even planning on having it shortened so that she could wear it again for their anniversary. She was selling it reluctantly— I could see tears in her eyes when she told us.
What she doesn’t know is that I created an account on the website and bought it anonymously. I had a bonus last month and I couldn’t see a better way to spend my money.
I plan on taking it to the tailor who made the dress, and order the changes she wanted (thankfully we’re the same size !) and I want to give it back to her for their anniversary in a few months.
I love my sister. I hope it makes her happy.
