he said，“but there are twenty-foot flames coming from Magic Moments Bridal Shop.”Neither my fiance Aaron nor I believed a word he was saying.We tuned in to the local radio station and heard the news ourselves. After months of looking for the “perfect dress”，the one I found was now in flames.
The telephone rang again，and we were afraid to answer.It was The Bridal Boutique，the other bridal shop in town.A dear friend had notified them of our dilemma.They offered to let me come into their shop and pick out different dresses.Moments later，my mother and mother-in-law Shirley were at the door offering to help.One phone call after another, family and friends called to offer their services，wedding dresses，money，and sympathy.With all the offers to help, I began to believe that the wedding could actually go on.
In the midst of the commotion(混乱)，I recalled that I had tried on the exact same wedding dress months earlier at Thelma’s Bridal, an hour’s drive from home.I called Thelma’s Bridal.I said，“I am supposed to get married tomorrow，and my wedding dress went up in flames this morning.”Immediately，I had the salesperson’s sympathy.She found the dress I described and agreed to sell off-the-rack(现成的)—something they don’t typically do.
My mom drove for two hours and picked up the dress from Thelma’s Bridal.We brought it to The Bridal Boutique where its owners and my mother-in-law had gathered.They were cheerfully cutting apart and re-sewing the dress. It was an incredible and heartwarming sight to see everyone working together to make our wedding day a reality.
As I lay in bed that night，I reflected on the unbelievable day.The big day arrived，and what a wonderful day it was! I had the “perfect dress” and the fairy-tale wedding I had envisioned.Actually，the wedding was more memorable because of the many hands and hearts that helped to make it possible.
