Martha Mae Ophelia Moon Tucker, a 94-year-old from Birmingham fulfilled her dream of trying out a wedding dress. She had always wanted to wear a white gown at her wedding in 1952. But back in those days, black women were not allowed into bridal shops and she was forced to borrow a dress on her special day.
Her dream of trying out a wedding dress finally came true after one of her granddaughters booked her an appointment at a bridal store.
Angela Strozier, one of Tucker’s granddaughters, reportedly told ABC, “Our grandmother has sacrificed so much for us, so to be able to turn around and grant her a ‘want,’ that was just priceless for me.”
Tucker confessed that she didn’t want to take off the wedding gown, “Yeah, I was very excited! I felt great! I told ya, it felt just like I was getting married!” The video has prompted several reactions among netizens with many calling Tucker the most beautiful bride they have seen.
