Real Brides: Haley

We met online! He tried to take me to a botanical garden for a romantic first date but I was afraid he might end up being a murder; so we settled on The Purge. Very romantic.

I’d gone to White Blossom Bridal looking only at flowy and nothing mermaid fit. After 10 dresses my mom asked me to just try the one in the window. The second I had it buttoned I looked at my reflection and whispered, “oh, okay.” I felt like a bride, and not the one I’d tried to visualize and create, but the one I was supposed to be. Two minutes later my mom was crying and so was I.
