Forget any claims about the “most beautiful bride ever”—there’s only one true contender, and that’s Grace Thompson. This radiant 93-year-old is gearing up for her wedding this summer and is turning to the internet for help in selecting her wedding dress.
Fortunately for Grace, the online community is more than willing to lend a hand.
As reported by BuzzFeed, Grace, an Australian native, is set to marry her longtime partner, 88-year-old Harold, in July. The two have been living in the same retirement village and have known each other for over two decades. After Harold’s numerous proposals, Grace finally accepted his hand in marriage.
Now, she’s on the hunt for the perfect dress. At Birdsnest, the boutique where Grace tried on several stunning options, she couldn’t make up her mind. The store decided to share photos of Grace showcasing her top choices on their Facebook page, inviting the internet to help her decide. The post has since garnered over 7,000 comments, which is a delightful rarity for online discussions, with not a single negative remark in sight. It’s clear that everyone is enchanted by this lovely couple and their heartwarming story.
And let’s not forget to admire Grace, who looks absolutely fabulous in all four of those gorgeous dresses. She clearly knows how to wear her color, and her posing skills are on point!
What makes this story even more touching is Grace’s thoughtful decision to marry again. Out of respect for her late husband, she had been hesitant to change her last name. However, she recently learned that she could retain her current surname after remarrying, much to Harold’s joy.
After an illness led her to move closer to family, Grace and Harold reunited a year later when he relocated to Canberra to be with her. Honestly, if this tale got any sweeter, we might need to visit the dentist!
While we personally lean towards Dress C, the exquisite lacy creation, all of Grace’s choices are stunning, and we believe she should choose the one that speaks to her heart the most. We wish Grace and Harold a beautiful wedding and a lifetime of happiness together.
