 My
Husband Sean and I were married in Michigan on Sep. 30, 2006. We currently
live in Ireland, so I only had one short weekend at home with my mom to shop
for my dress. Luckily, the first one I tried on was this beautiful Mary's
dress and it was IN MY SIZE. I thought it was meant to be! Just to be sure
we tried a couple of more shops, but I knew that if I passed this one up I'd
really regret it. I returned to 'Brides and More' in Fenton, MI just hours
after spotting my dress and brought it home with me that day. (Plus the shop
keeper gave me 25% off for buying the floor model, and it was in perfect
condition!) Needless to say, my wedding day was magical, and having a
no-fuss, perfectly fitting, affordable & GORGEOUS dress was just the icing
on the cake! Thank you Mary's Bridal! Meghan Smith

My
husband Brock and I were married August 6,2006. He proposed to me on
a sailboat over looking the Chicago skyline at sunset. It was the
perfect beginning.
I had to begin my search high and low for the perfect dress.
I knew this was the dress for me the second I put it on. Mary’s
really knows how to craft a beautiful, elegant, and practical gown.
The pocket is brilliant! After we were married, we spent our night
on this sailboat where we were engaged. It was a very magical day,
and I cannot thank you enough for making my perfect gown to go with
my perfect man.

Dear Mary's Bridal,
I would first like to say, Thank you so much for designing the perfect gown
for my special day! My high school sweetheart, Ken and I were joined
together in marriage on August 26th 2006 in Culpeper, Virginia. I tried on
so many gowns that I lost count, but none of them could compare to this one!
Thanks again to everyone at Mary's Bridal for helping to make my wedding day
a dream come true!
Sincerely,
Tammy Corsaro-Jenkins -2007
My husband Jose & I we got married on November 15, 1997. When my husband
propos to me one year before, the next day I hit the stores to find my
perfect Weeding Dress. Ever since I was a little girl I knew how I wanted my
dress to be. For my surprise, I found a boutique that was 5 minutes from my
job, went in and one of the girls that worked there Marsha, started asking
me a lot of questions, was my wedding going to be in side or out side
weeding, did I like long sleeve or short sleeve, did I liked short or long
train. Well to make the story short, she told me to wait a minute that she
had my dream dress. Sure enough, she had it. She had my dream dress, the
dress that I had always dreamed about, my princess dress. Wow, I almost
cried when I saw it and after I tried it on I knew it was a keeper. The best
part of the dress was the back, it had a hart shape with pearls the touched
gently my back. After that dress I didn't try not even one more dress. This
was the first dress that I have ever tried in my life and it was the dress
that I wore to get married to my prince. Thank you Mary's for making the
most beautiful dress I have ever seen & because of you!! I wore my dream
dress. ----- Maricella 2007
Dear Mary's,
I just wanted to send you an email telling you how wonderful your
designs are.
I live in Australia, and when my husband asked me to marry him, I think
I was like every woman in the world, I went out and bought every wedding
magazine there was, and hunted for the dress of my dreams. Australia is
a hot country and we were due to be married in march, our summer, and I
had my vision of my dress, I had pitched it to several different dress
makers and they all said that it would be too hard and cost me thousands
of dollars. Of course I did not have that. One day when I had just
about given up, I was flicking through an American wedding magazine for
reception ideas and there was this amazing dress, it was stunning, I
showed it to my family and friends, not my fiancee of course, and they
knew I was in love with it. It was amazing, but then I realized it was
an American design, we did not have any distributors here in
Australia!!!!! I was crushed!!! I decided to see how much it would
cost anyway, just out of curiosity, and it was a lot cheaper than some
of the very basic dresses that our wedding boutiques were selling over
here, so I got on the net and made sure they could do my size, and 4
weeks later after numerous late night phone calls (time difference) and
I received a customs notice, I received my dress!!!! It was everything
I had wanted it to be and more.!!!! I am so thankful that I could get it
sent from America to here, It was just amazing, I thank you at marys soo
very much, you made my day!
Dear Mary's Bridal:
My husband, Sam, and I were married on
March 2, 2007 in a beautiful wedding chapel in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee,
and I wore style number S075733 from the Fairy Tale Princess
collection. I felt just like a princess!
When I tried on this beautiful gown at
the shop, I knew I had to have it. I couldn't decide if I would use the
coral pink bow or the white one, they were both so beautiful. I decided
to go with the white bow and it was gorgeous! Thank you for giving me
that choice. The wrap and purse were perfect additions to this gown. I
have had so many compliments on this gown.
We plan to re-new our vows sometime in
the future, since I want to wear this beautiful dress for a second time
and be a princess and marry my handsome prince all over again!
Thank you for making such a gorgeous
dress.
Living happily ever after,
Vickie J. Cobb

Dear
Mary’s Bridal,
My name is Heather Painter and my husband Christopher and
I were engaged on his birthday on March 14th 2005 and married
July 2nd 2006. I would like to express my sincere thanks for
designing the beautiful dresses we chose for our wedding party. The instant
I tried on style #S058507, I knew it was the dress that was going to make my
elegant princess bride dream come true! It was only the second dress I tried
on and my mother, grandmother and myself all began to cry as I walked out of
the fitting room and exclaimed “This is the one.” In fact, I loved my dress
so much that we ordered the bridesmaids dresses and flowergirl/minuature
bride dress through Mary’s as well to accent my wedding dress beautifully.
What really made your dresses stand apart though,. was how the shawl and
purse were included with purchase. My bridesmaids and myself appreciated not
having to try to find matching purses and we all felt the dresses were very
reasonably priced. The retailer we purchased from was very kind, courteous
and did everything she could to make the dresses fit each of us perfectly.
My husband and I had a truly wonderful, blessed, wedding day and I truly was
the princess bride I had always dreamed of being as a little girl. Thank
you, and I hope that your dresses continue to make future brides’ weddings
as magical and beautiful as ours was...
Christopher and Heather Painter :)
My husband Wyatt and I were married on September 2, 2006.
We were engaged on that day in 2005 and I had bought my dress
by the end of the month...so I had to wait for 11 months before I could wear
it!
All brides are complimented on their wedding day but the
compliments I received were all about my dress!
It fit perfectly, and made me feel beautiful. The
pocket came in very handy for the ceremony, as well!
Thank you!

My husband and I tied the knot on June 4th of 2005. We had a beautiful
summer wedding amongst a small group of family and friends. As soon as we
began to plan our wedding, I just knew that I was going to have a Mary's
dress.
Ever since I was a teenager I dreamed about having a Mary's
dress to wear on my special day. When I began searching for the perfect
dress I had absolutely no luck in finding a Mary's bridal gown. After
searching for 2 months I settled on a dress that was close to what I was
looking for. Two weeks before my wedding I went to the bridal shop for my
dress fitting. I remember standing in front of the mirror feeling
disappointed. The dress was pretty but just not for me. Something about it
did not make me happy.
As
I was changing, my mother came running into the fitting room with a
wedding gown in her arms. She searched the racks and found the most
beautiful gown ever! And it happened to be a Mary's bridal gown! I tried it
on and fell in love. It was perfect. I changed my gown and I am so
happy that I did. I thank my mother for finding the dress. She is my lucky
charm.
My husband and I plan on having a religious wedding ceremony
on our 5th anniversary. I will be wearing my wedding dress all over again. I
truly felt like a princess in it.
Thank you,
Vanessa Staggs
I just wanted to thank you
for making such a beautiful dress. When I seen this dress online
it took my breath away I knew that this was the dress that I had to
have. I am a mother and grandmother and this is the first time I
have worn a wedding dress and it was so worth the wait. Mary’s you
made my day perfect. I felt like a princess...

My husband
and I just renewed our wedding vows this past weekend in celebration of
our 20th wedding anniversary. We renewed our vows at the 2006
Wisconsin Highland Games, and had about 200 kilted guests, including
friends, family and lots of people who just came for the Games and came
over to join us for the celebration. I had so many compliments on
my dress (style S034814) that I could not count them all! At least
a dozen little girls asked to have their picture taken with "the
princess" after the ceremony.
We had a
beautiful day, and I confess, I liked my Mary's Bridal dress even better
than the dress I wore at our wedding 20 years ago!
Mark your calendar for the 2006
Wisconsin Highland Games September 1, 2 & 3, at the Waukesha County Expo
Center
From the day I got engaged, I
couldn't wait to find my dress. I
immediately went out and bought every bridal magazine in the
newsstand. I couldn't
find anything I liked so as the magazines came out, I kept looking.
Finally I spotted a dress. It was the P.C. Marys Style 5185 from the
summer collection. I fell in love. Even with two years to go, I wanted
to find this dress, just in case it went out of style by my wedding for
2005.
I went to a local bridal shop
which deals with many major companies, and they didn't carry P.C.Marys.
I must have cried that whole week.
Browsing other boutiques, no one
had P.C.Marys. I thought maybe it was a company out of state.
FINALLY, I found a place, about
an hour and a half away from my home that carried P.C.Marys. I was
THRILLED. I jumped in my car with my mom by my side, and drove. I
brought the picture of "my gown" to the sales woman and she tells me,
"Oh, we have that dress in the back, let me go get it." Now I am a Plus
size girl, so I was worried it wouldn't fit. She pulls out this dress
and I didn't get the same feeling as I did when I saw it in the
magazine. I figured it was because I hadn't tried it on.
As I begin to dress, It still doesn't seem right. I wasn't happy with
it, It wasn't for me. I stand in the middle of the boutique, in this
beautiful gown that costs probably more than my rent and I wasn't happy.
As my mother is crying cause her little girl is getting married, I
looked down to see the price. There was none, but there was a style
number, and it wasn't the one to my gown. At that moment I was relieved.
I knew it wasn't my dress from the moment I saw it. So I tell the sales
woman and she tells me, well this is close enough. Annoyed at her, I go
into the dressing room, put my clothes on, and leave without saying a
word.
As I am
getting to my car, I begin to cry. I looked up and saw a sign, for
another bridal shop around the corner. I get out of my car and start
running. My mother thinking I am going crazy, begins running after me. I
ask a woman to help me find this dress. She tells me she doesn't have it
in stock, but she can ORDER it for me. I fell to the floor. I found it.
Not only was this woman whose name I will never forget (Rosemary) the
sweetest person I had met, she also gave me a discount on the dress.
Months later, my
dress comes in. I try it on and its PERFECT! I felt exactly how I wanted
to. Like A Princess.
At a week before my wedding, I
picked up my dress. By now, the whole Idea that I was getting married
felt surreal. But as long as I had the dress and the man (marriage
license too...:) )everything was well in the world.
The day
of my wedding is a day I will cherish. Of course things went wrong,
nothing will ever go PERFECTLY how you planned, but nothing can ruin
your day unless you allow it to.
I put my dress on, grabbed my
bouquet, and was ready to go. Not realizing I didn't have my shoes on, I
had on sneakers, I began to walk out of my house. My mom once again
chasing after me telling me about my shoes, all I could do was laugh. I
change my shoes and get into my limo. Off to the church we go.
The rest of the night went smoothly. Right before my first dance, I
walked in with my VERY LONG TRAIN and my banquet manager whom was
wonderful was able to take my train off in a matter of seconds so that
by the time I turned, it was off and I was ready for my first dance.
I got so many compliments on my
dress, and that all because of PC Marys.
Thank-you for dressing me for
one of the most important days of my life.
Love
Mrs. Alyssa Colon
My name is Princess and I got married on September 20, 2003.
It was hard looking for a dress since I am very picky. But after trying out
so many dresses I finally found it. I saw it posted on a window of a bridal
shop that happened to be jus next door to my work. it was beautiful. I had
planned wearing it just as it was on the picture with it's veil, but in my
church I wasn't allowed to show any skin. so I had to turn it into a jacket.
the dress is beautiful and if you girls want to check it out I really
recommend it. my style dress is (S035125) .
THANK YOU MARY'S BRIDAL.

I got
married on May 27, 2006 and everything went well, it was all in its
place and how it ad to some out. But what made it so special was
my beautiful wedding dress.
I was actually a special bride, for my dress was discontinuing in Mary’s
catalog. But I was SOOOOOOOOO lucky that they had one my size with
them.
My husband
Gil and I loved it!
Thank you
May’s Bridal
I
sent you some photos for you to enjoy, then found that you post stories with
photos. Thought I would try to pick some of my favorites and share my story
too!
When my future husband, Héctor Colón asked me to marry him last year in June
and we set the date for Feb 4 2006, I knew I had my work cut out for me. And
of course, first was my dress. I went to several shops and visited hundreds
of sights on line, but when I got into Mary's Bridal website, I knew I had
found my designer! What beautiful dresses to choose from!
Of course, somehow I decided to set my sights on one of your newest
fashions, the cover of your (Winter) 2006 catalogue! Well in July and August
of 2005....finding the newest dress locally to try on was next to
impossible. Mary's personnel was kind enough to work with me to help me find
a local dealer in Florida for me to get to try on
the dress.
Finally
we found a Tampa bridal shop that was receiving a size 8 (this should be
interesting, since I take a size 14!) Needless to say, even with the size 8
on, I knew it was my "WOW" dress! My long time friends, Athena's Bridal in
Clearwater, Florida was kind enough to order the dress special for me, and
it without a doubt was the centerpiece of our 350 guest, 25 person wedding
party, set in an antique Ballroom setting of the Kapok Pavillion in
Clearwater.
Our theme for our wedding was "Dreams Do Come True" since this was my first
marriage at 43 (and I had given up on ever getting married!) and my
husband-to-be was truly my dream come true! As the pieces fell into place,
and the setting was truly a fairy tale, my wedding dress from Mary's will
forever be the highlight of our wedding.
Thanks for your creative and beautiful designs, that helped make my fairy
tale dream come true!
My name is Cristina and we got married in Puerto Rico on
February 26, 2006, on a very beautiful Saturday evening. These are
my bridesmaids and they used your dresses. They looked beautiful,
and it made everything look a little bit better on my wedding day.
My husband, Charles, is from Ohio, and I am from Puerto Rico, so we had
a very good mix of cultures in our wedding, which let us had lots of
fun.
The dresses are beautiful and cute, thank you for making our day a
better one.

This story is about my
only child's wedding day. My daughter got married on March 4, 2006. We could
not have ask for a better day. As you can see the sunset in St. Pete Beach
FL was stunning. Stephanie's wedding dress was perfect. I could not have ask
for anything better for my daughter.
THANK YOU.

Dear Mary's Bridal,
Ever since I was
little, I had a vision of my wedding gown. I wanted it
classy and big and poofy like Cinderella. I wanted
something I would remember for the rest of my life. I was very
disappointed to find that most of the dresses in bridal shops
were nothing I was looking for at all. I can't even believe that
some were marketed as bridal gowns! I wanted to be the most
beautiful thing Matt had ever seen on our wedding day. I
didn't feel I could do it in the gowns displayed at the bridal
stores. I was overjoyed when I stumbled upon the Mary's Bridal
website. So many dresses, so beautiful.. just the styles I
was looking for. I had 3 dresses selected from the
website. I'd tote those pics around with me to all the
bridal stores and was disgusted at the lack of help I received
about these dresses. I took matters into my own hands and went
through every dress on every rack in this area. Then, a miracle
after months of searching. I caught a glimpse of something
beautiful. It was a shoulder strap of something even more
beautiful. How could anyone squish this gown back away
from public eye? I immediately pulled it out! IT WAS
THE ONE! It was a Mary's!! #S008204 from the
Unspoken Romance Collection!! It was my favorite one.. it
wasn't my size, but I just had to try it on! With a little
assistance, the gown was pulled together so I could "get an
idea" of what it would look like on me. I couldn't
breathe.. I couldn't do anything but just stare at my reflection
in the mirror. That evening, I ordered the dress in my
size. I couldn't wait!!
*~*October 9, 2004*~*
Matthew and I were
married at 4pm at the Sanctuary Golf Course in Scottsdale,
Arizona. It was a perfect day.. sunny, 90s, intimate,
sunset was beautiful. My mother in law was teary when she saw me
in my gown. That meant the world to me. Our ceremony
was intimate with only our parents as guests. We had a perfect
day. And many beautiful pictures to show for it.
We danced on the green at sunset. That detachable train
(velcro) came in mighty handy!! I remember Matt's words at
sunset that day, "I will never forget how beautiful you look
right now for as long as I live. I'm so lucky to have you
as my wife". I loved the attention I received in my gown,
so I wore it again after our honeymoon for our reception in
Indiana. I could not get enough of those "you look just
like Cinderella" comments from the young'ins!!
We are still every much
in love. We have since built our first house and are expecting
a baby April 2006. Thank you Mary's for helping
making my dream wedding come true. I hope that one day our
daughter will be fortunate to wear one of your gowns on her
wedding day.
God Bless,
Kimberly Brackett-Smith

Dear
Mary's Bridal,
I wanted a "Cinderella" dress that
didn't have a train (because of the intimate and small chapel). I
searched for months in disappointment. Then, one day I was searching
on the internet and saw your beautiful Quinceañera dresses! These
were just want I had been searching for! I had difficult time
finding the dresses in wedding stores. Though the stores carried the
"Mary's" brand, they did not carry the Quinceañera dresses. When I
finally found Quinceañera's Boutique in Waukegan, the difficulty
wasn't finding a dress that I liked, but which one I liked the best!
I was in "Mary's Quinceañero Dress Heaven!"
I
purchased a Mary's Bridal Wedding gown for my wedding and LOVED
it!!! So many of my guests have commented on what a beautiful dress
I had and how it was the perfect dress for my figure!! I searched
for months and months to find the perfect dress- I saw this one in a
magazine and knew it was the one without even trying it on! Thank
you so much for designing this dress- it truly made my special day
perfect!! I wish I could wear it over and over again, if you are
ever looking for a model to advertise this dress please let me know-
I would love to wear it again!
My
husband Tino and I were married on April 14, 2007 in Colorado City,
Texas. I dated Tino for 8 years, ever since I was a freshman
in high school. He proposed in March 07 and we both wanted to get it
over with. So I literally had a month to plan the wedding.
My mother, mother-in-law, and I made a quick trip to Rios Bridal in
Abilene, and luckily the first dress I tried on, fit perfect which
was the #F06 2371, I LOVED THE DRESS. So I took it home
that same day. Everything else was down hill, and I had an
unforgettable wedding. Thank you so much!!
Dear
Mary’s Bridal:
