My MIL Gave Everything to Her "Precious Princess"— Now Demands Monthly Payments

Everyone knows how expensive weddings are. Turns out, “something old” can be found in the most unlikely of places. These 18 brides found thrift store treasures that look like they cost a fortune but came with price tags you won’t believe!
“Went to an op shop that had a full bridal section, lucked out, and managed to snag my wedding dress for only $150. It just needs the slightest alteration to the top, but otherwise fits my waist perfectly, and the length is great too, just needs a petticoat to go with. Like it was meant to be!” © Worth_Professor_8834 / Reddit
“They need to be cleaned up a bit and need a new strap buckle, but I’m in love!!” © Ecstatic_Builder3047 / Reddit
“And I just thrifted the perfect reception dress! I’m in love! (I guess with my fiancé, too.) But just look at this dress! $10. 😍” © Ccrroocchheett / Reddit
“The oldest set I verified was 1914. It came out so beautiful, and no one could believe I found everything from thrift stores.
A tremendous amount of work finding, cleaning, packing, transporting and setting up, but in the end super worth it. 3 plates each for 120 people, all randomized by my crazy math equation. My (now) husband definitely thought I was losing it, lol.” © coralstorm / Reddit
“I tried it on, not expecting it to fit me, but I was SHOCKED it fits perfectly. I’m only 5’1 and even the length is perfect, I won’t need to get it hemmed.” © **9222455 / Reddit
“Some history: I bought this ring about 15 years ago because it fit my (decently large) ring finger and had a hefty weight to it for its size. I thought maybe it was titanium or something. Brought it home, cleaned it up, and realized it was printed Traub Orange Blossom. 900 plat.,100 irid.
I couldn’t find too much info online at the time, but they were made in the 1920s. Later, someone bought the rights to the mold and started making reproductions of this beautiful ring.
It’s hard to capture the flower detail in a cellphone pic, and most that I’ve seen online are much more worn down than my ring. I had it professionally cleaned recently for my wedding and now will wear it as my wedding band. I’ve had many great thrift finds over the years, and this ring is absolutely a highlight.” © missspiritualtramp / Reddit
“I am going to get it cleaned and get some back buttons repaired. Get a skirt for under it and get it hemmed! I’ve actually decided this is the one.
After research, it’s from the 50s, and it looks so similar to my grandmother’s wedding dress. I’m so happy with it!!” © heatherbee04 / Reddit
“Seems like a good omen, so of course it came home with me!” © giottoblue / Reddit
"Cannot contain my excitement. Also cannot wait to tell people and then correct them when they assume I mean $1,150. Truly the find of a lifetime." © thegoldinthemountain / Reddit
“A local fashion college has a scholarship store that will often have donated clothing samples, floor models, and flawed or unsold items. What they make from the store goes towards paying for student scholarships.” © Stonedwithswarovskis / Reddit
“Today, they had a selection of what I assume were sample wedding dresses for $25. I just got engaged in January, so today was my lucky day. I bought two!” © Stonedwithswarovskis / Reddit
Love might be priceless, but these brides proved style doesn’t have to be. Sometimes the most unforgettable wedding gems aren’t in fancy boutiques. They’re waiting for you on a thrift store rack.
