 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!
MY HUSBAND AND I GOT MARRIED ON 20TH AUGUST
2005 .THE DRESS WAS ABSOULUTELY STUNNING AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR
MAKING SUCH A WONDERFUL DRESS HAS ALL THE DRESSES I HAD SEEN WAS NOT HAS
BEAUTIFUL AS THE ONES YOU MAKE I WANTED A CINDERELLA DRESS AND YOUR SITE WAS
THE BEST I FOUND THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY SPECIAL. - EVANS
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 Saturday, June 4th of 2005. We had a
beautiful summer wedding amongst a small group of close friends and
relatives. Planning our wedding was so much fun. My husband and I did
almost everything ourselves and we made sure to add personal touches on
everything from the invitations to the favors to the banquet hall. We made
the most out of the entire planning process because we knew that we were
preparing for one of the most important days in our lives. In the end, my
husband and I decided on a
black and white color scheme, we chose not to have a huge wedding party
and maintained the guest list under 100, and we wanted to keep things
simple yet elegant. We did not fret over silly things like making sure
that everything matched. For instance, our parents, the Maid of Honor,
and the Best Man all toted different types of flowers. The colors that we
chose for each flower was a color that we linked to match their
personality. My husband and I made sure that our wedding was a reflection
of who we were as a couple.
As
soon as we began to plan our wedding, I knew knew that I wanted to wear a
Mary's bridal gown. When I was a teenager, my mother would bring home a
variety of bridal magazines from the expos held at The Merchandise Mart
(here in Chicago). I would look through each magazine, clip out my
favorite dresses, and save them in a folder. Most of my clippings were of
Mary's bridal gowns. They were so beautiful, elegant, and detailed. I
loved the embroidery and the sequence. The brides looked like princesses.
I always 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. Every other part of planning our wedding was easy
except the search for the perfect dress. After searching for about 2 months
I settled on a dress that was close to what I was looking for. It was
pretty and I figured that it would work for my special day. But two weeks
before my wedding, I went into the bridal shop for my last dress
fitting. I remember standing in front of the mirror feeling disappointed
because I wasn't satisfied with the design or fit. The dress was nice but
just not for me. Something about it did not make me happy.
As I was changing out of the dress, my mother came running into the fitting
room with a wedding gown in her arms. She had searched the racks and found
the most beautiful bridal gown ever! It was perfect. And it just so
happened to be a Mary's bridal gown! I tried on the dress and fell in
love. It had the most elegant details. I immediately changed my gown and I
am so happy that I did. I thank my mother for finding my dress. She is my
lucky charm. The only downfall about a last minute dress swap was that
the bridal
boutique
did not have enough time to make serious alterations on my dress. Instead,
we settled on some clear straps to keep my dress from falling. Hey, it
worked and that's all that mattered. ;)
On my wedding day, I felt like such a princess. I was marrying the man of
my dreams and felt the happiest that I ever have in my life. And I wore
such a beautiful dress. All night long I received such lovely compliments
about my dress. And, the groom could not take his eyes off of me which was
such a major compliment.
As my husband and I celebrate many anniversaries to come this will
definitely be a story that I will share with our children.
I would love to wear this dress again at one of our milestone anniversary
celebrations. I am looking forward to it. ;)
Thank you,
Vanessa Staggs
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.

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!
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
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! 
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!
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!!
Dear
Mary’s Bridal:
