When Jessica’s sister submitted her nomination for the Ivory & Main Dream Dress Giveaway, we learned more about Jessica in a few paragraphs than most consultations could ever reveal.
She didn’t write about venues, florals, or décor.
She wrote about hospital stays.
She wrote about heart conditions.
She wrote about a recent diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
And she wrote about watching her sister walk through every season and every diagnosis with quiet strength, never allowing any of it to define who she is.
One line from the nomination stayed with us:
“She fears one day she won’t be able to walk down the aisle.”
That sentence stopped us.
Jessica’s sister shared admiration, pride, and deep love for the woman she looks up to. She described watching Jessica carry the weight of her diagnosis while also committing to a lifelong weight-loss journey she has struggled with since childhood — and how she is absolutely crushing it.
She shared how hard Jessica works, how she never seems to catch a break, and how deeply she wants her sister to have the wedding she dreams of — and to feel supported in a way she truly deserves.
This nomination wasn’t written about a wedding.
It was written about strength, perseverance, and hope.
Jessica is planning her wedding while navigating Multiple Sclerosis, health challenges, and personal goals. For her, walking down the aisle is not a small detail. It is a moment she deeply hopes to experience.
That is why Jessica was chosen as an Ivory & Main Dream Dress Giveaway bride.
Not simply because of what she is facing — but because of the strength her sister sees in her every single day.
And we are incredibly honored that her sister trusted Ivory & Main with her story.

Seeing all the thought and care that went into that moment reminded me that even things I find less exciting, like research or organising my own coursework, still require focus and structure if they’re going to turn out well, and then I suddenly realised I’ve got deadlines waiting. Trying to figure out where to start with research, planning, or working out the budgeting and organisational side of a project can feel pretty overwhelming, and even a bit of support makes those…
