Here in NYC, we have a local news affiliate who does a consumer protection segment. Last Monday, they featured a bride getting married in 2 weeks(!), and the bridal shop had closed(she went to the store to pick up the dress, since phone calls were useless, and they said "come back tomorrow, and you can pick up your dress)--next day,she found a locked door, with a sign that said "we're out of business, orders are handled by the store across the street"---so she goes across the street and that store refuses to help her. They were on camera, with the newswoman totally in her face, and basically said, "its being taken care of, but even if its not, it isn't our problem"--the owner/manager of the shop refused to be on camera and refused to even address the problem, (I wish I would remember these shop names, but I can't) Even after being so humiliated, they still a week later, had not returned the bride's phone calls or even attempted to address the issue
Anyway, long story short, a man out on Long Island saw the clip on TV,. He contacted Lillette's Bridal in Long Island, who were able to get the dress in only a couple of days, and (here's the amazing part) the man & his wife, both total strangers to the bride,volunteered to PAY FOR THE NEW GOWN, as well as her headpiece, veil, and shoes. He said he did it because he couldn't bear to see a bride so sad right before her wedding, and because he felt someone needed to do what was right.
a happy ending.:)
