Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Wedding Dress Moment At Check-in


--by wayfarer, posted Aug 1, 2011

 My step-daughter left the U.K. for the U.S.A. yesterday. Because she is planning to start a new life there deciding what to take and what to leave was really difficult!

Most of the clothes she left will be packaged up and sent to help poor communities in Romania. Even so, she still had a lot to fit into her baggage allowance.

Arriving at the airport check-in she already knew one bag was over the weight limit. She had £40, about $75, in her hand to pay the excess.

Talking to the woman behind the check-in my step-daughter explained that the bag contained her wedding dress and shoes. She was going to America to marry her sweetheart.

"Is that so?" The woman smiled at her - and waved her on through with no charge for excess baggage!

What a beautiful start to an exciting journey. I pray her marriage has many such moments of random kindness!

Yay...Wedding Bells will be ringing soon! ~Aurelia
