Just about every young woman dreams of wedding dress shopping with her mother. But an aggressive cancer diagnosis nearly stole that chance from a Grand Rapids woman until a small business stepped in in a big way. Riley Mack tells us how and it is something special. Elena and Juliette, they've seen thousands of emotional moments in, in a bridal studio in Holland. But one will stick with them for a lifetime in a place like this. This is where we, we have all of our beautiful dresses. You'll find hundreds, even the one they're seeing a vision of themselves come together. That little 12 year old girl is now standing on a pedestal looking in the mirror. A girl's dream wrapped up in lace and tool, lots of beautiful options. But for Ali Foos, she's not even engaged. The first dress I tried on was the dress but this time with her mom, her eyes were welling that she was just smiling. Something at me could not wait. And she just kept telling me how beautiful I am over and over just weeks ago, it was bile duct cancer, bile duct cancer is very aggressive, wiping away years of future moments with her mom. We were told that with treatment, she may make it up to four years. But it was just enough time when it became evident that we had a very short amount of time left. She had asked my brother and I if there was anything that either of us really wanted to do with her, well, we could enough time for one more thing. My mom and I have always been say yes to the dress since we talked for years about how we were going to one day go wedding dress shopping. So that was my one thing. And when I asked her that she said that was the one thing I really wanted to do with you too. One thing that led just beautiful little unique details here and she goes, I have to ask you a huge favor, a favor for bridal manager, Ali Kent and for Ally and her mom, Sarah. A final wish. I wondered if I could do it. To be honest, picking out the perfect wedding dress. She made sure that we created a private appointment before the store opened without even the perfect wedding ring because of Sarah's limitations. So she couldn't come upstairs here. So we would dress the I hear she would run down the stairs and show her mom the spring suit, did everything so that she could see me and how I would be down the avenue. They gave us a moment that both of us needed. I think they were trying to soak it all up. Yeah, that moment was so bright and a really dark time at the end of the day when the lights shut off, then Ali's light did too. My mom passed away four days later. Being there on the day without her is I make should fall. But knowing that she was a part of the experience, it was everything she said was this, is this what you want? Is this your dress? Yeah, this is my dress. And she said, ok, I wanna buy it for you. It was one of the last gift she gave me white dresses symbolize a new beginning. This one, a reminder of an end. She's still with you right now. Yes. Yes. And a love that never will. She's always Ellie highly recommends Spring Suit on Eighth Street in Holland for any bride looking for a special day wedding dress shopping. Hers though of course, will always be her favorite with your something special. I'm Riley Mack.
