My husband Jose & I we got married on November 15, 1997. When my husband propos to me one year before, the next day I hit the stores to find my perfect Weeding Dress. Ever since I was a little girl I knew how I wanted my dress to be. For my surprise, I found a boutique that was 5 minutes from my job, went in and one of the girls that worked there Marsha, started asking me a lot of questions, was my wedding going to be in side or out side weeding, did I like long sleeve or short sleeve, did I liked short or long train. Well to make the story short, she told me to wait a minute that she had my dream dress. Sure enough, she had it. She had my dream dress, the dress that I had always dreamed about, my princess dress. Wow, I almost cried when I saw it and after I tried it on I knew it was a keeper. The best part of the dress was the back, it had a hart shape with pearls the touched gently my back. After that dress I didn't try not even one more dress. This was the first dress that I have ever tried in my life and it was the dress that I wore to get married to my prince. Thank you Mary's for making the most beautiful dress I have ever seen & because of you!! I wore my dream dress.   -----  Maricella 2007

Dear Mary's,

I just wanted to send you an email telling you how wonderful your designs are.

I live in Australia, and when my husband asked me to marry him, I think I was like every woman in the world, I went out and bought every wedding magazine there was, and hunted for the dress of my dreams.  Australia is a hot country and we were due to be married in march, our summer, and I had my vision of my dress, I had pitched it to several different dress makers and they all said that it would be too hard and cost me thousands of dollars.  Of course I did not have that. One day when I had just about given up, I was flicking through an American wedding magazine for reception ideas and there was this amazing dress, it was stunning, I showed it to my family and friends, not my fiancee of course, and they knew I was in love with it.  It was amazing, but then I realized it was an American design, we did not have any distributors here in Australia!!!!!  I was crushed!!!  I decided to see how much it would cost anyway, just out of curiosity, and it was a lot cheaper than some of the very basic dresses that our wedding boutiques were selling over here, so I got on the net and made sure they could do my size, and 4 weeks later after numerous late night phone calls (time difference) and I received a customs notice, I received my dress!!!!  It was everything I had wanted it to be and more.!!!! I am so thankful that I could get it sent from America to here, It was just amazing, I thank you at marys soo very much, you made my day!

Dear Mary’s Bridal,

My name is Heather Painter and my husband Christopher and I were engaged on his birthday on March 14^th 2005 and married July 2^nd 2006. I would like to express my sincere thanks for designing the beautiful dresses we chose for our wedding party. The instant I tried on style #S058507, I knew it was the dress that was going to make my elegant princess bride dream come true! It was only the second dress I tried on and my mother, grandmother and myself all began to cry as I walked out of the fitting room and exclaimed “This is the one.” In fact, I loved my dress so much that we ordered the bridesmaids dresses and flowergirl/minuature bride dress through Mary’s as well to accent my wedding dress beautifully. What really made your dresses stand apart though,. was how the shawl and purse were included with purchase. My bridesmaids and myself appreciated not having to try to find matching purses and we all felt the dresses were very reasonably priced. The retailer we purchased from was very kind, courteous and did everything she could to make the dresses fit each of us perfectly. My husband and I had a truly wonderful, blessed, wedding day and I truly was the princess bride I had always dreamed of being as a little girl. Thank you, and I hope that your dresses continue to make future brides’ weddings as magical and beautiful as ours was...

Christopher and Heather Painter :)

My husband Wyatt and I were married on September 2, 2006. 

We were engaged on that day in 2005 and I had bought my dress by the end of the month...so I had to wait for 11 months before I could wear it! 

 All brides are complimented on their wedding day but the compliments I received were all about my dress! 

 It fit perfectly, and made me feel beautiful.  The pocket  came in very handy for the ceremony, as well! 

Thank you!

My husband and I tied the knot on Saturday, June 4th of 2005. We had a beautiful summer wedding amongst a small group of close friends and relatives.  Planning our wedding was so much fun.  My husband and I did almost everything ourselves and we made sure to add personal touches on everything from the invitations to the favors to the banquet hall.  We made the most out of the entire planning process because we knew that we were preparing for one of the most important days in our lives.  In the end,  my husband and I decided on a black and white color scheme,  we chose not to have a huge wedding party and maintained the guest list under 100,  and we wanted to keep things simple yet elegant.  We did not fret over silly things like making sure that everything matched. For instance,  our parents,  the Maid of Honor,  and the Best Man all toted different types of flowers.  The colors that we chose for each flower was a color that we linked to match their personality.  My husband and I made sure that our wedding was a reflection of who we were as a couple. 
 
As soon as we began to plan our wedding,  I knew knew that I wanted to wear a Mary's bridal gown.  When I was a teenager,  my mother would bring home a variety of bridal magazines from the expos held at The Merchandise Mart (here in Chicago).  I would look through each magazine,  clip out my favorite dresses,  and save them in a folder.  Most of my clippings were of Mary's bridal gowns.  They were so beautiful,  elegant,  and detailed.  I loved the embroidery and the sequence.  The brides looked like princesses.  I always dreamed about having a Mary's dress to wear on my special day. 
 
When I began searching for the perfect dress I had absolutely no luck in finding a Mary's bridal gown. Every other part of planning our wedding was easy except the search for the perfect dress.  After searching for about 2 months I settled on a dress that was close to what I was looking for.  It was pretty and I figured that it would work for my special day.  But two weeks before my wedding,  I went into the bridal shop for my last dress fitting.  I remember standing in front of the mirror feeling disappointed because I wasn't satisfied with the design or fit.  The dress was nice but just not for me.  Something about it did not make me happy.
 
As I was changing out of the dress,  my mother came running into the fitting room with a wedding gown in her arms.  She had searched the racks and found the most beautiful bridal gown ever!  It was perfect.  And it just so happened to be a Mary's bridal gown!  I tried on the dress and fell in love.  It had the most elegant details.  I immediately changed my gown and I am so happy that I did.  I thank my mother for finding my dress. She is my lucky charm.  The only downfall about a last minute dress swap was that the bridal boutique did not have enough time to make serious alterations on my dress.  Instead,  we settled on some clear straps to keep my dress from falling.  Hey,  it worked and that's all that mattered. ;)
 
On my wedding day,  I felt like such a princess.  I was marrying the man of my dreams and felt the happiest that I ever have in my life.   And I wore such a beautiful dress.  All night long I received such lovely compliments about my dress.  And, the groom could not take his eyes off of me which was such a major compliment.  
 
As my husband and I celebrate many anniversaries to come this will definitely be a story that I will share with our children. 
I would love to wear this dress again at one of our milestone anniversary celebrations.  I am looking forward to it. ;)

Thank you,
Vanessa Staggs

My husband and I just renewed our wedding vows this past weekend in celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary.  We renewed our vows at the 2006 Wisconsin Highland Games, and had about 200 kilted guests, including friends, family and lots of people who just came for the Games and came over to join us for the celebration.  I had so many compliments on my dress (style S034814) that I could not count them all!  At least a dozen little girls asked to have their picture taken with "the princess" after the ceremony.

 

We had a beautiful day, and I confess, I liked my Mary's Bridal dress even better than the dress I wore at our wedding 20 years ago!

 

Mark your calendar for the 2006 Wisconsin Highland Games September 1, 2 & 3, at the Waukesha County Expo Center

From the day I got engaged, I couldn't wait to find my dress. I immediately went out and bought every bridal magazine in the newsstand. I couldn't find anything I liked so as the magazines came out, I kept looking. Finally I spotted a dress. It was the P.C. Marys Style 5185 from the summer collection. I fell in love. Even with two years to go, I wanted to find this dress, just in case it went out of style by my wedding for 2005.

I went to a local bridal shop which deals with many major companies, and they didn't carry P.C.Marys. I must have cried that whole week.

Browsing other boutiques, no one had P.C.Marys. I thought maybe it was a company out of state.

FINALLY, I found a place, about an hour and a half away from my home that carried P.C.Marys. I was THRILLED. I jumped in my car with my mom by my side, and drove. I brought the picture of "my gown" to the sales woman and she tells me, "Oh, we have that dress in the back, let me go get it." Now I am a Plus size girl, so I was worried it wouldn't fit. She pulls out this dress and I didn't get the same feeling as I did when I saw it in the magazine. I figured it was because I hadn't tried it on.

      As I begin to dress, It still doesn't seem right. I wasn't happy with it, It wasn't for me. I stand in the middle of the boutique, in this beautiful gown that costs probably more than my rent and I wasn't happy. As my mother is crying cause her little girl is getting married, I looked down to see the price. There was none, but there was a style number, and it wasn't the one to my gown. At that moment I was relieved. I knew it wasn't my dress from the moment I saw it. So I tell the sales woman and she tells me, well this is close enough. Annoyed at her, I go into the dressing room, put my clothes on, and leave without saying a word.

     As I am getting to my car, I begin to cry. I looked up and saw a sign, for another bridal shop around the corner. I get out of my car and start running. My mother thinking I am going crazy, begins running after me. I ask a woman to help me find this dress. She tells me she doesn't have it in stock, but she can ORDER it for me. I fell to the floor. I found it. Not only was this woman whose name I will never forget (Rosemary) the sweetest person I had met, she also gave me a discount on the dress.
 Months later, my dress comes in. I try it on and its PERFECT! I felt exactly how I wanted to. Like A Princess.

At a week before my wedding, I picked up my dress. By now, the whole Idea that I was getting married felt surreal. But as long as I had the dress and the man (marriage license too...:) )everything was well in the world.

     The day of my wedding is a day I will cherish. Of course things went wrong, nothing will ever go PERFECTLY how you planned, but nothing can ruin your day unless you allow it to.

I put my dress on, grabbed my bouquet, and was ready to go. Not realizing I didn't have my shoes on, I had on sneakers, I began to walk out of my house. My mom once again chasing after me telling me about my shoes, all I could do was laugh. I change my shoes and get into my limo. Off to the church we go.

      The rest of the night went smoothly. Right before my first dance, I walked in with my VERY LONG TRAIN and my banquet manager whom was wonderful was able to take my train off in a matter of seconds so that by the time I turned, it was off and I was ready for my first dance.

I got so many compliments on my dress, and that all because of PC Marys.
 

Thank-you for dressing me for one of the most important days of my life.

Love

Mrs. Alyssa Colon

My name is Princess and I got married on September 20, 2003. It was hard looking for a dress since I am very picky. But after trying out so many dresses I finally found it. I saw it posted on a window of a bridal shop that happened to be jus next door to my work. it was beautiful. I had planned wearing it just as it was on the picture with it's veil, but in my church I wasn't allowed to show any skin. so I had to turn it into a jacket. the dress is beautiful and if you girls want to check it out I really recommend it. my style dress is (S035125) .

THANK YOU MARY'S BRIDAL.

I got married on May 27, 2006 and everything went well, it was all in its place and how it ad to some out.  But what made it so special was my beautiful wedding dress.
I was actually a special bride, for my dress was discontinuing in Mary’s catalog.  But I was SOOOOOOOOO lucky that they had one my size with them.

My husband Gil and I loved it!

Thank you May’s Bridal

 

 

 

I sent you some photos for you to enjoy, then found that you post stories with photos. Thought I would try to pick some of my favorites and share my story too!

When my future husband, Héctor Colón asked me to marry him last year in June and we set the date for Feb 4 2006, I knew I had my work cut out for me. And of course, first was my dress. I went to several shops and visited hundreds of sights on line, but when I got into Mary's Bridal website, I knew I had found my designer! What beautiful dresses to choose from!

Of course, somehow I decided to set my sights on one of your newest fashions, the cover of your (Winter) 2006 catalogue! Well in July and August of 2005....finding the newest dress locally to try on was next to impossible. Mary's personnel was kind enough to work with me to help me find a local dealer in Florida for me to get to try on the dress.

 

Finally we found a Tampa bridal shop that was receiving a size 8 (this should be interesting, since I take a size 14!) Needless to say, even with the size 8 on, I knew it was my "WOW" dress! My long time friends, Athena's Bridal in Clearwater, Florida was kind enough to order the dress special for me, and it without a doubt was the centerpiece of our 350 guest, 25 person wedding party, set in an antique Ballroom setting of the Kapok Pavillion in Clearwater.

Our theme for our wedding was "Dreams Do Come True" since this was my first marriage at 43 (and I had given up on ever getting married!) and my husband-to-be was truly my dream come true! As the pieces fell into place, and the setting was truly a fairy tale, my wedding dress from Mary's will forever be the highlight of our wedding.

Thanks for your creative and beautiful designs, that helped make my fairy tale dream come true!

My name is Cristina and we got married in Puerto Rico on February 26, 2006, on a very beautiful Saturday evening.  These are my bridesmaids and they used your dresses.  They looked beautiful, and it made everything look a little bit better on my wedding day.  My husband, Charles,  is from Ohio, and I am from Puerto Rico, so we had a very good mix of cultures in our wedding, which let us had lots of fun. 
The dresses are beautiful and cute, thank you for making our day a better one.

THANK YOU.

Dear Mary's Bridal,

 

Ever since I was little, I had a vision of my wedding gown.  I wanted it classy and big and poofy like Cinderella.  I wanted something I would remember for the rest of my life. I was very disappointed to find that most of the dresses in bridal shops were nothing I was looking for at all. I can't even believe that some were marketed as bridal gowns!  I wanted to be the most beautiful thing Matt had ever seen on our wedding day.  I didn't feel I could do it in the gowns displayed at the bridal stores. I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon the Mary's Bridal website.  So many dresses, so beautiful.. just the styles I was looking for.  I had 3 dresses selected from the website.  I'd tote those pics around with me to all the bridal stores and was disgusted at the lack of help I received about these dresses.  I took matters into my own hands and went through every dress on every rack in this area.  Then, a miracle after months of searching.  I caught a glimpse of something beautiful.  It was a shoulder strap of something even more beautiful.  How could anyone squish this gown back away from public eye?  I immediately pulled it out!  IT WAS THE ONE!  It was a Mary's!!  #S008204 from the Unspoken Romance Collection!!  It was my favorite one.. it wasn't my size, but I just had to try it on!  With a little assistance, the gown was pulled together so I could "get an idea" of what it would look like on me.  I couldn't breathe.. I couldn't do anything but just stare at my reflection in the mirror.  That evening, I ordered the dress in my size.  I couldn't wait!!

 

*~*October 9, 2004*~*

Matthew and I were married at 4pm at the Sanctuary Golf Course in Scottsdale, Arizona.   It was a perfect day.. sunny, 90s, intimate, sunset was beautiful. My mother in law was teary when she saw me in my gown.  That meant the world to me.  Our ceremony was intimate with only our parents as guests.  We had a perfect day.  And many beautiful pictures to show for it.  We danced on the green at sunset.  That detachable train (velcro) came in mighty handy!!  I remember Matt's words at sunset that day, "I will never forget how beautiful you look right now for as long as I live.  I'm so lucky to have you as my wife".  I loved the attention I received in my gown, so I wore it again after our honeymoon for our reception in Indiana.  I could not get enough of those "you look just like Cinderella" comments from the young'ins!!

 

We are still every much in love.  We have since built our first house and are expecting a baby April 2006.   Thank you Mary's for helping making my dream wedding come true.  I hope that one day our daughter will be fortunate to wear one of your gowns on her wedding day.

 

 God Bless,

Dear Mary's Bridal:

 

My husband, Sam, and I were married on March 2, 2007 in a beautiful wedding chapel in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and I wore style number S075733 from the Fairy Tale Princess collection.  I felt just like a princess! 

 

When I tried on this beautiful gown at the shop, I knew I had to have it.  I couldn't decide if I would use the coral pink bow or the white one, they were both so beautiful.  I decided to go with the white bow and it was gorgeous!  Thank you for giving me that choice.  The wrap and purse were perfect additions to this gown.  I have had so many compliments on this gown.

 

We plan to re-new our vows sometime in the future, since I want to wear this beautiful dress for a second time and be a princess and marry my handsome prince all over again! 

 

Thank you for making such a gorgeous dress. 

 

Living happily ever after,

Vickie J. Cobb

I just wanted to thank you for making such a beautiful dress.  When I seen this dress online it took my breath away I knew that this was the dress that I had to have.  I am a mother and grandmother and this is the first time I have worn a wedding dress and it was so worth the wait.  Mary’s you made my day perfect.  I felt like a princess...

Dear Mary's Bridal,

Thanks so much for making the perfect wedding dress for my special day!  I tried on several dresses, but none of them made me feel the way this one did!  So, I special ordered it for my August 13, 2005 wedding.  I couldn't have imagined wearing any other dress!  I loved it so much that I ordered my Bridesmaids dresses from Mary's as well!  The dresses complimented mine perfectly and looked beautiful on all of the girls!  Thanks for being such a big part of my wedding day! 

Sincerely,

Dear Mary's,

After trying on what seemed to be HUNDREDS of dresses, I had finally found my dress in the catalog after talking with a local wedding dress shop owner.  She had stated Mary's had the most elegant and affordable gowns she knew.  She gave me the collection catalog to look through. Man, was she on the money!  As soon as I seen style F058416 I knew it was the one.  Unfortunately, the shop didn't have it in stock.  I  then drove to a store only a few miles away just to try it on.  My maid of honor just stopped when I came out of the dressing room. My mom, my other bridesmaids, and the rest of the shop then all seemed to just stare.  We ALL knew it was the one.  I went back to the original shop and the owner stated even though she didn't normally carry it, she would special order  it for me. I am was so happy!  

On our wedding day, my dad had a tear as he was taking me down the aisle.  My husband then later confessed he thought I was so beautiful that he got choked up as I walked down the aisle.  I especially loved the detachable cap sleeves that looked elegant at church and came off to party down at  the reception.  Thanks Mary's for making my day extra special.

Dear Marys Bridal,
I just wanted to say thank you for making my dream wedding happen. I chose the dress from the cover of your Fall 2004 catalog in Ivory for my June 18th, 2005 wedding. I tried on over 30 dresses, yet when I tried this one on, I just knew this was it. I received many compliments as well! your gowns are exquisite and the best! keep up the great work!

Best Wishes,

I and my husband were married on June 4th 2005. I fell in love with my Mary's dress from the moment I saw it in a magazine.  I wasn't sure I was going to be able to purchase it because the wedding was only 3 months away and I had never seen the dress in person before and that made me nervous so I searched for other dresses and every dress I tried on I kept comparing to the mary's dress.  I found a bridal shop who said they could get me the dress on time and I was elated! I was nervous waiting for my mary's dress to arrive, but when it did it was everything I imagined it would be and more! My husband loved my dress, and everyone said I looked like a princess on my wedding day and I couldn't believe that I could look as beautiful as I felt! Thank You

Dear Mary's,
I wanted to thank you for caring my dream wedding dress.  I had such a hard time finding a dress that would work for me. I have a skin disorder on my Back, Arms and Shoulders.  Trying to find a dress that has long sleeves and that covered my back is almost next to impossible, everything is halter style, off the shoulder's and sleeveless etc...
I thought to my self, what am I going to do? I was thinking, I was going to have to have something made and I did not want a homemade dress. A girl on her wedding day wants her dream dress.

Until I found Mary's Bridal... There were so many choices I was thrilled and I loved the Queen Anne neckline that was another feature, I was looking for and I could not find....   The dress style I chose was Style #8404

My husband and I were married on April 2, 2005 and are so in Love...
We have been together for 3 1/2 years and we were so excited for our wedding it was the most magical day we could ever ask for. Thank you again for making my dreams come true......

The first dress I saw when I opened the Bridal Magazine was Style 6160. I instantly fell in love with it. Sadly I could not afford it as our wedding was on a very tight budget. I bought another dress but still kept on thinking about that gorgeous gown. A few months before my wedding I confessed to my husband that I hated my dress and that I had found my dream dress. Wonderful man that he is, he told me if it meant that much to me he would find a way to buy it, and he did. I
felt like an empress on my wedding day. The dress was amazing. Now I am Matron of Honor in my friends wedding and she hopes to wear my dress as well.

After seeing your website and reading the wedding stories, I felt inspired to share  memories of my special day in my beautiful Mary's dress. I met Scott 4 1/2 years ago at our church.  We began a special friendship that continues to this day! After  going through our share of many great times and even some sad times together, we were married on October 23, 2004.  When I tried on #SO48331 from the Fairy Tale Princess collection, I wanted it right away. I loved the simple elegance of the cut, the beading, and the unique aproned back. I ordered the dress in my size from a local shop, and it came weeks earlier than expected.  When the shop called to tell me it had arrived, I immediately jumped in the car to go get it.  I couldn't wait to put it on!  When I did, I was thrilled with the delicate ivory color. I couldn't stop looking at it in the mirror. It also fit perfectly, and the only alteration it needed was the bustle in the back.  I couldn't believe how perfect it was.
    
On our wedding day, as I walked down the aisle toward the man of my
dreams, I felt so beautiful in my dress.  Afterwards at the reception, I was able to dance the night away and felt very comfortable. I could have celebrated all night, and we almost did! For some of us, the party continued at a nearby sports bar once the reception ended.  I felt so proud strutting into the place in my dress with my handsome groom amidst all the looks and stares, as well as shouts of well wishes and congratulations.  I received so many compliments from my friends and family about the dress and the one I heard the most was, "That dress!!!  It's so YOU!!"  which I thought was a great compliment and one every bride should hear.  When I look at the pictures, months later, I still can't stop looking at the dress and feeling so grateful at the beauty of it, the color, the reasonable price, and how it seems like it was made just for me.

Thank you Mary's, for helping to make my special day just right!

  I just had to share my love story with you. I met my husband almost 4 years ago when he fixed my car for me. His brother, who also worked there, suggested he try to introduce himself the next time I went in to have my car serviced. He wasn't able to do that but he did catch a glimpse of me and decided to send me a note through the mail to ask if I would be interested in getting to know him - he said I had great eyes and a beautiful smile. WOW - a real old fashioned gentleman.

  When I met him for our first date I had no idea who he was or what he would look like. I hit the jackpot - he is absolutely wonderful. We were married on June 29, 2002. The winter before the wedding I handed him a stack of pictures of wedding gowns from bridal magazines. I asked him to look through and eliminate the ones he really didn't like. He was a good sport and did just that. A while later he handed me back a much smaller stack! and said "I like all of these but I really love this one" and handed me a picture of dress # S008238. I couldn't believe he picked my favorite!

  I had to find that dress! I did, thankfully, and I just have to tell you I got so many compliments on it - I truly felt like a princess. The craftsmanship was impeccable - the detail on the dress was exquisite - and the price was so reasonable! My groom was so shocked when I walked down the aisle in that dress! Good luck to all future brides - enjoy every minute - it is your day - and enjoy married life!

My daughter and her future husband decided on a beach wedding and a reception on a yacht. 

The wedding was held on the beach is Newport Beach CA and the reception on a yacht in Newport harbor.  To compliment the theme my daughter chose the Mary's Couture mermaid gown. 

The entire wedding was perfect and she received innumerable compliments on her gown.

This story isn't about my wedding but it is about my friend Hedva's wedding.  I went to Elementary School and and High School with Hedva.  After High School, we went to separate universities.  I went to Cornell University and I met this guy Jon.  I thought he would be the perfect guy for my friend Hedva.  On October 17th, 2004, Hedva and Jon got married.  Hedva asked me to be a bridesmaid.  The plan was to have all the bridesmaids dresses made but at 6 weeks before the wedding, the dresses were not finished and didn't look very good so we all decided to get our own dresses even if they looked different.  I wanted to get a special dress since   Well, I live in Starkville, MS and there aren't very many bridal stores in the area so I looked online and came across marysbridal.  Thank goodness there was a marys bridal distributor 30 min from where I lived.  Marysbridal saved the day.  The dress arrived a week before the wedding with just enough time to have any alterations made.  I love the dress and I got many compliments at the wedding.

Thank you

Dear Mary's Bridal
My husband and I had a somewhat unconventional meeting! He lived in Australia and I here in the states. When we meet for the first time it was as if we had been destine for one another our whole lives. When he asked me to marry him I never hesitated in saying yes. He was my prince my knight in shinning armor. I started looking for a wedding dress straight away.
 I had been looking for a dress for months, searching magazine after magazine, web site after web site and then I spotted my wedding dress in one of the ads from a brochure company! I loved your style! I checked out your web site and you offered the most amazing dresses! I was looking for a dress that would match how I felt about my soon to husband...My knight in shinning armor! I found the perfect dress for my fairy tail wedding. I felt like a princess! I will always remember the moment my husband saw me coming down the isle and saying to me with a tear in his eye " you are so beautiful to me". Thanks so much Mary's Bridal!

My husband and I met through a friend almost 5 years ago. I knew that he was the one even before our first date. He was so handsome and so kind. 2 1/2 years later he surprised me with a beautiful engagement ring. He asked me to marry him when we stopped by the lake while riding our bikes. It was the perfect proposal. He got down on one knee and I immediately started to cry. He actually thought I didn't like the ring. They were definitely tears of joy.

 Here are some pictures of our winter wedding day. The girls are wearing dresses made from crushed velvet in cranberry. They were made specially by a friend along with the faux fur muffs. It was truly the winter wedding I had always dreamed of. Thanks to Mary's for the beautiful gown and help set off the winter theme.

I was married on December 1st 2001 and wore a Mary's wedding gown # 8266. I wanted to tell you that even though that was eight months ago already I still get compliments on the dress. It is very unique. I was looking for a winter dress and when I put that one on I knew it was the one. I thought it would be nice to give some feedback and let you know that the dress was so well liked . This dress fit me beautiful I loved it so much it was perfect I felt like a princess with it on.  I refer all the future brides to visit Mary's bridal its the best investment you will ever make thank you for making my day complete.

Sincerely

I saw the gown online during the summer of 2001.  I fell in love with it!  I printed the picture, and hid it from my boyfriend, because we weren't engaged yet and I didn't want to scare him.  He proposed to me in November 2001.  I brought the picture to DuBois Bridal in Green Bay, and told them, "I want this dress in platinum".  The manager of DuBois told me that the style that I picked out had been discontinued!"  But since Mary's Bridal had a little platinum fabric left over, they said that they could make me one from scratch!  (AWESOME!)  That's what they did ... the dress was absolutely gorgeous, and perfect!  At my wedding, I got an infinite number of compliments on the dress.  Everybody said, "I've never seen a platinum dress ... It's gorgeous ... I love it".

Here are a few pictures from my wedding.  You made my dress especially for me!  It was beautiful!

Thank You,

Hi, my love story is based on two different countries and two different races. My husband is from Buffalo ,New York and I am from Ontario Canada. We met in October of 1995 when he got out of the military. The wedding was so beautiful, we married in Canada and reside here now. I searched for a year until I found the perfect dress!! I had to have this Mary's Dress so I went on a mission and made the 2 hour drive to Toronto Canada , I had them bring the dress in for me and when it got there and I tried it on I felt it was made with me in mind!! the dress was who I am and I felt so good in it.

Thank you Mary's Bridal for making my day a dream come true!

My husband and I met online in the winter of 1998. We were friends for a few years and finally in September of 2001 we fell in love.

After our engagement in September of 2002, it was time to pick out the gown I wanted to wear in my wedding. I was so very picky I thought I would never find "the dress"! But then I saw a picture of Mary's Couture Style: #F026160 and I fell in love with it! After much searching I located a bridal shop 2 hours from my home that could order the dress for me. I have never looked as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and I received hundreds of compliments on my gown!

Today my dress sits in my closet begging to be worn. I wonder how the people at the grocery store would react if I wore it to pick up some apples. Hehe.
