A wedding dress is often a keepsake, and so it was with Erin Krajewski.
“It was everything to her,” Jake Krajewski said of his wife’s attraction to her wedding dress. “Everything that the whole family talked about. Everyone who had been there when she bought the dress.”
Four years after the couple’s wedding, the dress is gone, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Erin’s aunt, who had been storing the dress, recently dropped it off at an Atlanta dry cleaner, the news station reported. But the cleaner accidentally donated the dress to Goodwill along with some other items.
“It was as if someone had died,” Jake said of his wife’s reaction. “She was very distraught about it.”
The Krajewskis, who live in Macon, have been calling all the Goodwill stores they can find, but no luck. The dress apparently has been sold.
The couple has taken their story to social media in hopes that whoever bought the dress will return it.
“With a wedding dress, it plays a huge role in your family. It's something that ideally you want to pass along to your children someday,” Jake Krajewski said.
“It's a symbol of your family and your marriage. To be able to add that part of the story to it would be an incredible experience for us.”
