While every woman
planning a wedding frets that a total disaster will happen before their walk down the aisle, most affairs go off without a hitch. Still, some New York-area brides were saved from a possible wedding nightmare.
According to the New York Post, Sposabella Couture, a Brooklyn-based bridal shop, was burned to the ground after an electrical fire. The store has been a staple in the Bay Ridge area for more than two decades.
While most of the gorgeous wedding gowns inside would have been destroyed in the incident, owner Alice Sena saved the day. The courageous woman ran back into her bridal shop to save more than 200 dresses from being engulfed from the flames.
"We grabbed them all and got them out. I saved the dresses for the brides. I saved them for the girls," she told the news outlet.
Sena's shop has put her four children through college for the past 25 years. The wedding gowns she rescued are being cleaned and reportedly will be in tip-top condition for a number of aisle-bound women.
"She was more heartbroken about her clients than herself," her son, James, told the news source. "She's trying to keep it together [for] her brides."
