When Jess and Michael got engaged, her cousin Sarah offered to sew Jess’s wedding dress as a gift. It seemed like a beautiful gesture, but when Jess tried on the final version, she realized the dress was two sizes too small. Would Sarah fix her mistake, or would Jess be forced to take matters into her own hands?
My relationship with my cousin Sarah had always been complicated. She was loud, bubbly, and thrived on attention. Growing up, it was easier for the family to let Sarah have the spotlight, so I got used to staying in the background.
When Michael and I got engaged after four wonderful years together, I was over the moon. And for once, my family seemed genuinely excited for me. Even Sarah organized a girls’ night out with all our cousins and friends, celebrating the fact that I was the first to get engaged.
During the celebration, Sarah, holding a glass of champagne, approached me with a grin.
“Jess! I have the best idea!” she exclaimed.
Curious, I asked, “What is it?”
“I want to make your wedding dress for you!” she beamed, swaying slightly to the music.
Sarah was an incredibly talented seamstress, and despite our history, I was touched by the offer. It seemed like a lovely way to make the wedding even more special.
