Lori Dawn and her mother Grace Swearingen spend every night flipping through bridal magazines: picking apart and comparing the pros and cons of each particular wedding dress, veil, shoes, and even jewelry.
This might seem like a completely normal mother and daughter bonding moment, like the talented duo who sing Celine Dion songs together, but when you take into account that doctors said Lori shouldn't even be alive; this story gets even more heartwarming.
Lori was not expected to long past her first birthday. Born with cerebral palsy and several other health problems, she was never expected to talk or even walk. But 42 years later don't tell her that, because she's too busy living her life to the absolute fullest in the most amazing way possible!
Her mother admits that Lori will probably never be able to get married, but that doesn't mean she still shouldn't feel the excitement of picking out her own beautiful wedding dress, and bask in the love and support of all of her wonderful friends and family.
Lori is going to have an amazing bridal-themed birthday party next month, and when it comes time for her to walk down the aisle, her amazing mother is going to make sure that her daughter looks and feels her very best: like every bride should.
