I PROMISED MY NIECE I’D PAY FOR HER WEDDING DRESS — BUT CHANGED MY MIND AFTER ONE PHONE CALL…
My niece Megan lost both of her parents when she was just 10 years old. Since I had no kids of my own, I stepped in to raise her.
One day she asked me, “Who’s going to come with me to pick out a wedding dress?” I promised her, “Don’t worry — I’ll make sure you get a beautiful dress.”
Nearly twenty years later, Megan’s life took a different path. She and Tyler had been together for ten years, raising three kids, and finally decided to tie the knot.
When Megan came to share the news, I expected something simple — maybe a courthouse ceremony. But then she brought up my promise: “Do you remember you said you’d buy me a wedding dress, Uncle Tim?” she asked, her eyes sparkling.
I smiled, ready to make her dream come true — until she showed me the dresses. One cost $7,500, the other just under $5,000. I nearly choked. I told her I’d help, but that kind of dress was way out of my budget.
I offered $1,500 and even found some beautiful options at a local boutique. Megan wasn’t thrilled, but I thought we had come to an agreement.
A few days later, while I was working in the garage, I overheard her talking on the phone with Tyler. I hadn’t meant to eavesdrop — but what she said froze me in place… and instantly changed how I felt about the dress.
She said: “Uncle Tim…”
