GASTONIA, N.C. — Heroes on the front line of the pandemic got an unforgettable surprise on Sunday.
Poffie Girls Bridals & Formals in Gastonia teamed up with Brides Across America to give away 25 free wedding dresses.
Doctors, nurses, pilots, active military and veterans from nine different states traveled to Gastonia to get their wedding dresses.
“It’s one of the greatest blessing ever. It really makes the whole process a lot easier,” said Dasia Scott, a nurse.
The brides-to-be were able to choose between 75 dresses. Each was hand-picked to participate in the special giveaway.
“It’s excitement. It’s tears. It’s joy. It’s just overwhelming. They can’t believe that we’re actually doing this, and they’re actually getting a dress of their dreams," said Pam Smith, CEO of Poffie Girls.
