A bride whose wedding dress had been stolen got the surprise of her life when a 911 dispatcher stepped in — and saved her wedding day.
A Washington-based bride-to-be (her name was withheld for privacy) was inside her home on the morning of her wedding, preparing for the ceremony, when someone broke into her car and stole her wedding dress, among other belongings.
Panicked, the woman called 911 to report the crime, and Candice (she declined to provide her last name), a dispatcher at Valley Communications, the local 911 center, answered the call. “I handled the situation as I normally would, but inside, I really sympathized. I couldn’t imagine someone stealing my wedding dress. All I kept thinking was, ‘I have a wedding dress. Maybe she could wear that.’”
Candice asked the responding officer to offer the woman the dress that Candice had worn on her own wedding day 18 months earlier. Candice texted a picture of the dress to the officer, who, in turn, showed it to the bride-to-be. It was a match.
The dress was delivered shortly before the ceremony was set to begin.
