OMG! Journey of the travelling wedding dress from USA to SA goes viral
Updated | By Stacey & J Sbu
No unnecessary ca-ching for this wedding!
Saying yes to the dress is not as easy as one would imagine. With hundreds of styles, cuts, and shades, brides are often left defeated when it comes to finding THE dress.
South African bride from Jozi, Simone Crouch, was fortunate enough to find the perfect dress… the only issue was the dress her heart truly desired was way too pricey.
Simone had her heart set on this dress for five years prior to the wedding date.

News24 reports that she could not forget about it, but visits to the bridal stores proved disappointing. The dress she wanted was just too pricey.
However, this bride had a burning desire and despite looking far and wide at wedding shops, she was not about to give up on the hunt.

Eventually, she tracked down brides who had used the #ruedeseine [Modern Bohemian Bridal], hoping someone would be willing to sell their gown at a fraction of the price.
Finally, one dress owner replied to the desperate bride-to-be. Here's how it went:
"I asked if she was willing to sell her dress, which was a no, but then I took a huge chance and asked her to lend it to me. I thought the worst she could say was no, and that is where the magic began, all because a stranger took a leap of faith in me."- Emily Heath
