GOOD FROM BAD

When a bride-to-be in Kent, Wash., discovered that her wedding dress had been stolen from her car on the morning of her wedding day, she called 911 in tears. The dispatcher sent the police—and then asked what size the dress was. The operator, Candice, who had been married herself just 18 months before, offered the use of her wedding dress to the distraught bride, whose name was Amanda. Luckily, the two were the same size—and Amanda’s white wedding went off without a hitch in spite of the theft. “[She] had her special day after all,” said Candice.
