Wanted to take the time to thank Lauren for helping to lighten my stress on a bittersweet day. Last week my mother in law was in the hospital , deteriorating from her battle with cancer. I asked her what I could do, what she needed from me. She said "marry my son." We have been together for 10 years and she wanted to see a wedding so badly. So in 3 hours, we put together a beautiful ceremony so that we could fulfill her final wish. My friend and I rushed to a store bought a suit, had my make up done. Meanwhile at the house they were putting together a bouquet and beautiful decorations. The only thing I needed was a dress- what's a wedding without a white gown? I called torrid and spoke with Lauren and told her what was going on. We arrived at the store with 30 minutes to spare, and Lauren had pulled all the white dresses on my size and had them waiting for me. I looked at the hangers, picked one, put it on and it was perfect. Lauren then had shoes waiting for me, grabbed the tags off of my dress and started to ring me up so we could get to my wedding on time. I got everything, even a nude bra she pulled for me and a headband. I left the store in my clothes and we made it right on time. It was a beautiful ceremony, and I actually felt beautiful despite having been living out of a suitcase for a week and crying constantly. The next day, our mom passed away. She will be forever missed, but I am so glad she could witness the wedding she had waited so long for. Thank you again so much Lauren and torrid for making it possible! read more
