But two months later, when her fiancé Jarrod Vancannon, a brick tender, hurt his back on the job, she realized they wouldn’t be able to afford the $1,035 dress—or the wedding itself.

Still, instead of going back to collect her deposit, Erickson told Pure Bridal she wanted to donate it to their next bride-to-be customer. It was all part of a birthday gift for a pal, who asked that, in lieu of gifts, friends do random acts of kindness around town.
