Weddings are more than celebrations of love between two people and pledges to be with each other till the very end. They're also an occasion for strengthening bonds between and within families. Having a parent play a supporting role in the big day can be a lifesaver. For a bride choosing a wedding gown, a mother's opinion is so special. A mother who lived in a different state went the extra mile, literally, to show up for this special moment for her daughter, reported The Independent
