A 62-year-old bride surprised herself by falling in love with a sparkly, form-fitting wedding dress

• Aldy de Vries and Ron Goed got married in August after over a decade together.
• De Vries wore a sparkly gown with a corset bodice to their destination wedding in Greece.
• Footage of de Vries in her wedding gown went viral online.

When Aldy de Vries got engaged in August 2023, she knew she wanted to find a white wedding dress for her big day.

It didn’t matter that she was 62 years old and had been married once before. De Vries didn’t get to have a wedding when she married her late husband, and she wanted to feel like a bride when this wedding finally came.

Still, de Vries didn’t anticipate falling in love with a sparkly, form-fitting wedding gown — or that a TikTok video of her dress would amass over 30 million views.
