Facebook Reunites High School Prom Couple...True Love is Found


You don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day to fall head over heels for this true love story.

Kellie Crossen went to her Senior Prom at Fox High School in Jefferson County, Missouri with Terry Black.  After high school, the two went their separate ways. Several years later, Terry knocked on the door of her parents’ house.  He left after her Dad told Terry that Kellie had married. Terry also got married.  Years went by...Terry got divorced and so did Kellie.  

The Internet arrived and Terry started searching for Kellie. He found her on Facebook.  “I never forgot you”, he told her.  Terry pursued Kellie with an endless stream of flowers:  wildflowers, tropical flowers and 120 sweet baby roses in mixed colors.  Sometimes new bouquets arrived even before the old ones died. On Valentine’s Day 2011 he gave her a diamond necklace and matching stud earrings.  

Three decades after the couple danced at Prom, they will the knot on September 10th, 2011 at the Cave House in Bonne Terre, Missouri. We’re honored that Kellie found the wedding dress of her dreams at our flagship store in St. Louis.  Now we can’t wait to see the pictures of Kellie and Terry!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Something Old, Something New
Something Borrowed, Something Blue
And a Silver Sixpence in her Shoe



This is always a fun tradition to compare with brides of all ages, and crossing all generations.  There are varying definitions of what each item stands for, but overall they are collectively meant to bring Good Luck to the Bride for a long and happy marriage.  

There are also many variations of what items are used for each.  We've collected some of our own results from the Sydney's Closet Fashion Team, and added some we've heard from others.

Old: handkerchief, gloves, wedding gown, heirloom wedding ring, broach, undergarment, 

New: wedding dress, jewelry, garter, shoes, bridal lingerie

Borrowed: jewelry, purse, ring bearer pillow, fancy hair clip, veil

Blue: bow on a piece of wedding day lingerie, lingerie, detailing on bridal hankie, ribbon around bridal bouquet

Sixpense: penny in the shoe
