Tori’s Bucket List: Wear Mama’s Wedding Dress

Written by lesabrackbill

Some of the items we have added to Tori’s Bucket List were inspired by the lists of her Krabbe buddies.

This one was first done by Anniston, and when I saw the photos I messaged her mom and asked if she would mind if we copied the idea. She was so excited that we wanted to do it!

This idea made me so happy because Krabbe has robbed Tori of the option to wear my dress on her wedding day. Krabbe has stolen so many precious moments like these away and I wanted to take this one back in our own way.


To make this even more fun, I didn’t tell Brennan. I wanted this to be a surprise for him and I hoped that seeing his baby girl in my dress would be incredibly meaningful and special to him.

I asked his cousin, Sarah, what she thought of the idea and she was so excited! She even contacted a florist to make the floral crown for the photos! I love that the florist used daisies without even knowing that the daisy is my favorite flower ❤️

Special thanks to Sarah B Photography for the fabulous photos, Foster Flowers for the floral crowns, and Michelle Morrison for helping with everything.

Brennan’s reaction was priceless and more emotional than I had imagined.❤️

Here are just a few of the beautiful images Sarah captured today:

  6. What an absolutely beautiful idea! I can imagine how emotional it was for Brennan, as it had me tearing up as well. So glad you took something back that Krabbe has taken from your family. God bless! And what a wonderful memory!

  10. So beautiful. Tori is such a special gift from God. What wonderful parents you are. I love your posts and someday hope to be able to meet you and Tori. I have a daughter with spina bifida and she just loves Tori. We live in central PA near Lewisburg. May God shine his face on you and give you peace.

  11. I sit here at the end of a stressful day of working full-time and coming home to complete a full-time class load; I try my hardest to hold all my challenges in and celebrate my sucesses alone because I know the lives of others are fair more challenging and perhaps even more rewarding. However, today as I read your story after seeing the newest pictures, I am left so humbled… I haven’t cried tears of God’s love or felt this much hope in humanity for so long. Your story and love for each other and most astoundingly, your gorgeous daughter have left my heart so heavy, but yet full. My prayers and best wishes are with you and your family. ❤️
