Bride Stuns Mom By Walking Aisle in Her 90s Wedding Dress

A stunned mom immediately started sobbing tears of joy when her bride daughter surprised her by walking down the aisle in her 1990s wedding dress. Rachel Ous, 26, from Mankato, Minnesota, shares an extremely close bond with mom Christine Phinney 59, and knows about the special history behind her mom's wedding dress. The dress was made for Christine by Rachel's godmother, and having initially looked into altering the garment for her welcome dinner or a reception dance, Rachel decided to take things one step further. As not to raise her mom's suspicions, she committed to a wedding dress of her own, which she planned to wear for welcome drinks before the ceremony. But at Olive Branch Farm, on May 31, as Christine stood near the altar waiting for her daughter to make her way towards groom Jake, she had no idea she’d secretly switched into her beloved dress. When she then caught sight of Rachel at the top of the aisle, the 59-year-old immediately recognized the dress she wore for her March 1993 wedding to husband Mark Phinney. She let out a loud "Oh my God!" and covering her face as she fought back tears, looking on with love for her daughter and her dress which had undergone the most minimal of adjustments by her godmother. Rachel had initially planned to change back into her other dress for the remainder of the day, but having seen how well her mom's dress fit, she decided to stick with it.
