Observing all of this, the bride – Cat Wilkinson took to her Facebook page to share the incredible story after being flooded with compliments on the frock.
She added: “The next day I was looking in the charity shops and saw the dress on one of the rails. It was a charity shop on two floors and I was upstairs and phoned Mike to tell him not to come up while I tried something on and to ask if the shop volunteer could come up to take a photo. Nevertheless, I bought the dress there and then for the small sum of £35.”
