I was proposed to at Magic Kingdom, by the Castle. It was an amazing night. I didn't have family trip growing up, and this was the first time I had gone to Disney...or on any big trip. My boyfriend (now husband, Rick) ask for my hand before we had left. He called my dad and discussed his plans. Now mind you, this is just after September 11th so the were randomly searching people...Rick turned out to be one of them. I saw him whisper something to the guy and he kind of moved Rick to the other side so I couldn't see his front. I guess he pulled the ring out because the box was setting off the detector. We waited about a year and a half before getting married. I knew exactly where I wanted to get married. I was raised in the South and wanted a traditional Southern wedding... to be a princess. I knew EXACTLY where to get my dress. It was with out question! It had to be from Mary's bridal. I went on the website and lost my heart to the perfect gown. I got my gown in just a few weeks and it was more perfect then I can even imagine. We were married at The Southern Plantation in Missouri City Texas. My husband is from Puerto Rico, and that was a really neat treat for the out of town guests. They really enjoyed the down home cooking and laid back style... and they all about died over my gown. I was told that I had never looked more beautiful... and that the gown made me look thinner then I have ever looked. IT DID! The style of the gown and the quality of the boning took about 10 pounds off of me. My dad was very ill and barley hanging on. He was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer about 3 years before my wedding date. We were so scared he wasn't going to make it down the isle with me. His doctor told him he only had 8 months maybe a year. He told the doctor "that's not acceptable. I promised my daughter I would walk her down the isle and her wedding is a year away". Well guess what... he walked me down the isle. He had a cain and looked so handsome. Later I found out he was in a lot of pain. The weeks before my wedding he was in a wheelchair. Then 3 days after my wedding he was hospitalized and then passed away. He keeps his promise. Rebecca (Trummer) Lopez De Victoria



My name is Brandy and I was married December 1, 2007. I looked for a dress for probably 6 months before I found this one. It was love at first sight!! Thank you sooo much to Mary's for making dresses with sleeves, they are hard to find, and some of us full figured girls don't feel comfortable in strapless. My friends and family were amazed at the amount of detail on the dress and how well it suited my figure. My husband David, was speechless, in his amazement all he could do was grin from ear to ear. For me, however, the dress was the realization of my mental picture of the perfect dress, it was my dream dress!! My wedding theme was winter nights, and the sparkle of the dress was like moonlight on new fallen snow. It was the perfect dress to make my day complete. Thanks Again.


Dear Mary's Bridal, you've made the wedding day the most beautiful day of my life. I bought my dress from one of your stores. I live in Romania (Europe) and I had a very good friend who helped me buy the dress. I saw the model on your webpage and I fell in love with it. Since then I knew that was the dress on my life. Although I could not try it on, because America is miles away and a plain ticket is approximately 1000 $, I decided to take a risk and order it. My friend went to one of your store and gave my measures to the shop assistant. My dress was ready in 2 weeks. I was lucky because I understood that normally it takes 16 weeks).   Everyone admired my dress. Here in Romania such a dress costs 2000 Euros, this means 3000 $. It is very very expensive.  So, thank you for that beautiful dress and also a very good quality dress!!!









 I got married to the man of my dreams on April 5 ,2008 , and my dress made me look soo beautiful thanks now I'm hunting for a dress for my cousins wife to be wedding. I'm telling all ladies about Marys.

Thank you Mary's Bridal, after searching and searching for the perfect wedding dress, I went to a retailer in Riverdale Floreria Ilusion, and found the perfect dress for me from your catalog. I felt like a princess on July 5, 2008. Everyone loved my dress, i got a lot of compliments. The dress style is S083Y731 from Moda Bella. Thank you very much!!!!!



 

Dear Mary's Bridal,
        The saying is true 'You'll know it when you find it.'  The minute I saw my Mary's Bridal dress, I knew that was the one.  Thank you for making such a beautiful dress.  You made our special day even more wonderful!
 

 

 

Thank you,

Hi Mary's!
I wanted to email you and let you know that thanks to you, I got to wear my dream dress at my wedding! My husband, Justin, and I were married on June 24th, 2006. I had an idea of what I wanted in a dress; ivory, with champagne detailing. However, after months of searching, I could not find a dress that fit this description anywhere. Needing to get a dress ordered, I reluctantly settled on one that wasn't quite right. While I knew this deep down, I was convinced that my dream dress was nowhere to be found. As my maid of honor and I were walking in to the store to buy the "second choice", there was your GORGEOUS dress on a manikin in the window!
We both instantly looked at one another, went inside, tried it on, and I ended up ordering it that very day! We recently just celebrated our 2 year anniversary, and I was reminded of how special I felt in that dress. I just wanted to say thank you for making my dream wedding come true!
 
Attached is a couple pictures of my husband and I on our wedding day (in the perfect dress!)
Thanks again!

Ever since I could talk, I had dreamed about having my Quinceanera. On May 31st 2008. My dream came true. We had started planning two weeks before I turned 14.I had worn a Mary's dress for my first communion in April of 2007. I knew then I had to get a Mary's dress for my Quinceanera. I looked at your collection of Quinceanera dresses over and over. I couldn't chose! I finally had my heart made up. I chose style number F064928. But my mother said to wait until your next catalog came along. So I did. Then when the new catalog came out I saw style S084325 but somehow I still had my heart set on style number F064928. My mother helped me decide on the first dress I had set my heart on style

 . It was perfect. I even picked out the girls dresses to match my dress! On January 17th 2008. I ordered my dream Quinceanera dress! I was so excited. On April 17th 2008 it finally arrived! I fell in love with my Quinceanera dress all over again! We had an orange bow added onto the back of it because I wasn't allowed to wear a white and silver dress in church also the color of my Quinceanera was orange so it was perfect! When the day finally arrived I received so many compliments! Two people asked to borrow my dress to wear at their weddings! I spent the whole night dancing and taking pictures! I have never felt so beautiful in my life! Thank you Mary's Bridal for making such a beautiful dress! Thank you for making the girls in my court such beautiful dresses. I'm so happy to be a part of Mary's family! 

Sincerely Yaritza
Quinceanera Date: May 31st,2008


Hi…I am from Trinidad and I was proposed to about 8months before the wedding and I had no idea what type of dress I wanted.  I was confused and terribly pressured by everyone to ‘take this one’ and ‘take that one’ and ‘what dress are you wearing?’…sheeesh…I was hopeless until my dad said ‘you know you have a cousin working in Mary’s bridals…why not check them on the internet?’ I was amazed at the wonderful, stylish, suit-anyone’s-style type of dresses and the hairpieces…WOW….lovely…anyway to cut my story….I finally chose one Dress of the Month-November 2006 and I was married November 18th 2007. I emailed my measurements and the dress was a wonderful fit…I got everything I asked for….thank you Mary’s and my cousin Beverly…thank you…thank you…check out the pic J





Hi, I brought this California USA.
Enclosed are  pictures of how beautiful and stunning I looked.
 I felt totally satisfied. It is the best .
Everyone of my guests were impressed and love the dress.

Dear Mary's,
I just want to say thank you so much for creating such a beautiful dress. It was perfect, it truly made my day that much more special. I received so many compliments!!! And I felt so good in my dress, that I never wanted to take it off. It fit me perfect, it was truly meant to be. My husband and I got married on September 30, 2007. I wanted a modern sheek wedding, and this dress was exactly that. It had both class and elegance. Again, thank you so much for this dress. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and this dress was a dream come true.

Sincerely,
Kristin Taner


Dear Mary's Bridal,

My husband and I were married on August 20, 2006 and are celebrating our one-year anniversary this weekend.
Today, while I was reflecting our wedding day, found myself on your website looking at your beautiful, new dress designs. I was so happy with my wedding dress and I want to share my wedding photo with you and your customers.
John and I were married at a small chapel (Little White Church on a Hill) near Galena, Illinois.

 

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!"
My wedding dress ended up being #S052889 from your Informals Collection. I felt like a princess in your dress! Thank you for the beautiful dress and for contributing to the magic of our special day!

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! Thank you,

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!!
Sincerely,
Raquel & Tino Silva




Dear Mary's,
I just wanted to thank you guys so much! My husband Josh and I were married on June 23, 2007. I never felt more like a princess than when I stepped out of the dressing room and Josh first saw me in my beautiful wedding gown. I received so many compliments on my dress! I had found your website a few months before my wedding while frantically searching for a designer that fit my taste. I immediately fell in love with the P.C. Mary's designs and began tracking down a retailer. Then one night my mom and I saw "The Dress" on your site. We ordered it the next day in Gulfport, MS.
I had the dress altered to take off the sleeves (seeing as Southern weddings in June are hot with or without air conditioning!) and had one of the sleeves made into a ring-pillow for the wedding.
I will forever treasure my wedding gown, and now have it heir loomed for future use by a beloved daughter (God-willing!) who may want a "princess dress" for her wedding too!


Dear Marys Bridal
My name is Michelle and I married my husband David on September 8th 2007 at a beautiful 13th century church in Salisbury, England. I've never been a very girly girl, so shopping for my special dress was a strange process for me! I knew instantly the moment I tried on my gown #SO52884 that this was the one, there were many ladies shopping in the store that day and they all stopped and gasped when I stepped out of the changing room, so can you imagine what my family and guests said when they saw me?! Everyone commented on what a beautiful and unusual design it was and I never realized how much I would need the accompanying purse, a brilliant idea. Our wedding budget was pretty tight, so finding my dream dress at such a reasonable price was so exciting. Thank you Mary's Bridal, for making me look and feel like a queen on my very special day.
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Michelle Cable

Hi, my name is Mary and I made a Quinceanera for my daughter on August 11, 2007. It was really hard for me for her to pick a dress because she is a very picky girl. But when she saw this one she fell immediately in love with it and said "this is the one i want, and i am not changing my mind about it". So then we asked the bridal shop if they had one in this color and they said no but we have one that is the same but in a different color. So she asked if she could try it, and it fit wonderful. She loved the color of it too but said it's not the color i want i hope they have it in pink. So sure enough the lady said yes the catalog does have it in the color you want it. After that we immediately order it and well we had a great turn out in remarks about the dress. Everyone loved it and asked we did we get it. Of course we do tell them where we got it. I hope this brings more girls to buy there dresses from you cause i know i will. I still have 2 more quinceaneras to do, so i know i will be ordering them from your catalog.
Thank you Mary's Bridal for making the best quinceaneras dresses and for making my daughter look so beautiful in one of them. 
Sincerely,
   Mary

Dear Mary’s Bridal:

I wanted a beautiful quinceañera dress for my first daughter, and I got it from the Fairy Tale Princess Collection S075733 blush/silver, she looked as a real princess, really sweet and special.

Thank you for such beautiful design,

Thanks so much for giving me the wedding gown of my dreams at an incredible price! I had so many compliments on my fabulous dress! My husband Russell and I were married on March 31, 2007 on a beautiful spring day. I had tried on so many gowns from many different designers.  I had decided that I was not going to let price rule the gown I picked out for the most important day of my life! I did not look at any of the price tags while I was trying on the dresses. So when I tried on style # FO26143 in the Couture Collection I had no idea of the price but I knew from the very moment it was my dress! What a wonderful surprise to learn how reasonable the price was compared to much simpler and plainer dresses! What a true bargain! People thought I had paid thousands as this dress is so lavished in detail with pearls and lace! Our guests said I looked like a famous movie star in my gown! I was looking for that WOW ! factor and I definitely got it with this dress! Thanks again for making my Princess Wedding Day come true! I am now happily married to my Prince Charming!

Dear Mary's,


I just loved my dresses! I saw the dress I wanted and ordered it right away. It's perfect...and made my day special.  I ordered two... one to wear at reception and one for the church.

I will definitely recommend your beautiful dresses to all my friends.

 


Sherry in Austin, TX

celebrated a very special day on July 15, 2006 my Quinceañero.I celebrated my mass at All Souls Parish in Springfield, MA and my party at The Knights of Colombus in Chicopee, MA. It was a wonderful day fill with family and friends. My blessing at the church and my awesome party. I was beautiful with my red dress from Mary's bridal.The color red it is unusual in the Quinceañero celebration but I am also an unusual teenager. Red is my favorite color and I knew my dress had to express my taste. I opened the Mary's catalog and I picked my red dress and the lady from Sweet Dreams Bridal loved my choice of dress because it was something different. The day it came in I felt in love with my dress all over again. I spend the whole night with my dress, dancing the night away with all my friends and family that travel from Salinas ,Puerto Rico and from Paterson New Jersey.I had a great time thanks to my parents and family members and specially to Mary's Bridal for my gorgeous red dress.This is a day that will stay with me forever...

My Husband Frank and I were married in Yuma, AZ. on June 9,2007!  When I saw this dress on Mary's Bridal.com  I just fell in love with it I knew it was the one.  I have never seen it in person cause there's no Mary's Bridal store here where I live at , but I was So Lucky cause there was a store here in my town that retailed with Mary's Bridal directly....  It didn't matter to me if I have never seen it, but I still ordered my dress and Ohhhh, My God when I saw It I even fell in love with it even more I was soooo excited about it I just couldn't wait to try it on!  It even looked more beautiful on I felt like a princess!!!  I even purchased my 4 piece matching Tiara, earrings, necklace and bracelet at Mary's and they were so pretty.....  And when the Big Day came my Husband was just shocked he wouldn't stop looking at me he loved it as well!!!!  (Thanks A lot).......       #F048421

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.
Sincerely

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
