Sometimes, finding the perfect wedding dress seems impossible but this bride faces the opposite problem. Sylvia Martin, 93, is marrying her long-term friend Frank Raymond, 88, in July but she can't decide between her most favorite gowns. So, she asked the internet for help and we're here for her!
The story started when this great-grandmother from Canberra, Australia, went shopping for an ideal gown. She tried on a number of dresses but 4 of them were Sylvia's absolute favorites and she couldn't pick which one to choose. To help her, somebody took the discussion to Facebook where they posted a picture of Sylvia posing in all of the dresses and asked their followers which design should the classy lady choose.
The post also said that Frank has asked Sylvia to marry him many times. "Sylvia has always refused, thinking that to take a new surname would be disrespectful to her deceased husband," it said. "A year ago, Sylvia took ill and moved to Canberra to be near her family, and Frank thought all hope was lost. When Sylvia recovered, she found Frank, who was living in Adelaide, and convinced him to move to Canberra to be with her. Frank arrived a couple of months ago and again asked Sylvia to marry him. Sylvia had learned that you can keep your own surname when you marry, and so said yes."
While we can't attend this beautiful couple's wedding, we certainly can help the bride decide what to wear.

A! B are rather busy, but C is pretty nice, also. It looks cute, but I'd be worried about the practicality of D
Kevin Donegan 7 years ago
She can't go wrong with any of the choices. Everyone is going to be looking at her radiance and not the dress she wore. With that said, I vote for A!
Lori Jo Bean 7 years ago
A, definitely. Simple but elegant and flattering. The color and cut both suit her perfectly and make her seem so refined. Congratulations!
Griselle Lugo 7 years ago
She is an inspiration!! And she looks awesome in all of them!! Congrats kiddo!!! Have a lovely Honeymoon!!!
Elina Kuusisto 7 years ago
Happy wedding and all happiness to the beautiful couple! <3 I hope she keeps us posted on her choice and shares photos! :D
Elizabeth Meacham 7 years ago
D to be honest but Frank will love you no matter what you wear <3
Jessica Russian Sifontes 7 years ago
I'm between C and D, but she looks fantastic in all of them... Why doesn't she start with one and then change every hour? :D
Marmaladekate 7 years ago
D- it's a great fashion statement, yet sleek and subtle at the same time!
Kim Stratford 7 years ago
A or B depending on her personality. Those other dresses look matronly and not that unique or special!
Lisa Siegel 7 years ago
C. I believe the lacy adds finesse! Happy Wedding and many happy times ahead!!
Reba Sutton 7 years ago
You look pretty in all of them but I thought D looked very stylish on you wishing you as many happy years God has planned for you :)
Stacey Jackson 7 years ago
A because it has great color for her complexion, great fit, stylish, and shows off her sassiness! B has good color. C and D simply don't show off her youthful and playful and sassy essence.
Laura Gerke 7 years ago
I'm torn between A & D; they both are "simple" yet timeless. The lacy one detracks from her beauty & the floral is just......no words to describe it. And the colors of A & D are good for her.
Freda Squires 7 years ago
D, but they all look lovely on you. Good luck with your wedding. xxxxxx
Cheryl Clair 7 years ago
I think she should choose A. B is also okay. C is too old looking , yeah, I know she's old , but she's sassy. And D is just too frumpy and makes her look heavy.
Tricia Otloe Fleming 7 years ago
A...In my opinion it is the most flattering on her...Congratulations!
Mary Adsett 7 years ago
1 A ... or 4 B Depends on your Personality ..... 1, A is a little more conservative .... 4.B has a more of out going personality ...
Anne Saunders 7 years ago
The straight skirt is more becoming And long sleeves are a must. Good luck
Angela Allen Simms 7 years ago
D Dahlin, the flyest of the bunch!! The rest are all old lady which you definitely are not!!!
Tara Elsbury 7 years ago
Dress A looks the best on her and makes her look younger, too, in my opinion! Very Classy!
scenestealer 7 years ago
Click bait. She probably doesn't even know someone stole her dinner photos.
Edyta Złotucha 7 years ago
I'd go for "A", as it compliments her figure and legs best :) Best wishes also!
Marieange Dobresk 7 years ago
You look beautiful in all of them, but C is my favorite! Congratulations
Erika Ackermann 7 years ago

Evelyn Smith 7 years ago
A It's a very classy and sophisticated look for Sylvia! I'm excited for you!
Faye Petherick 7 years ago
My favorite is C. Looks really nice. But any of them look good on her. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Sandra Reese Borgersrode 7 years ago
You look lovely. My favorite on you is "A". The style is perfect on you and the color is gorgeous.
Cindy Lussier Cote 7 years ago
No matter what dress you choose you will be stunning and in his eyes the most beautiful woman. A OR D are my personal favs. Best wishes
Manual Mimosa Delgado 7 years ago
I'm sure that the lady is going to go through all these 450 posts, write down our preferences in four columns, and then finally decide accordingly... That exactly how a 95 years old lady take a decision about a dress
natie marie 7 years ago
regardless of what this wonderful woman wears on her wedding day, i hope she has a brilliant day, and that we are lucky enough to see a few celebratory pictures after!
Miss MonMon 7 years ago
I like C. And good for her for marrying a younger guy. Remember: "You're only as old as the man you feel."
Kayleigh Pearce 7 years ago
Well first off, I want to say this lady looks to have a personality that is 1 in a million! Congratulations!!! Second of all, if the wedding is in July it is going to be pretty warm out, so wearing something with less sleeves will be best. 😊 third, I absolutely love dress C! Very beautiful dress for such a radient looking women. Keep strutting your stuff! You have the best day of your life ma'am! I dont care what others may say, you deserve to be happy no matter your age! I am very very excited for you! Thank you soo much for sharing such a big part of your life with us!

C. Do you have to wear Red. Why not another color? I hate to say this, but whatever dress it would look better if you got a better bra. Just saying.
Carolyn Walker 7 years ago

Linda Yeaton 7 years ago
While B is a more modern look with patterned fabric, I think the C choice is more flattering and I like the look of lace in a wedding.
Sandra Reid 7 years ago

Dianne Gary Butrick 7 years ago
I think you look very nice in "C". I also think that if you put a little colour in your hair, you would look wonderful. Blonde is great when you are a tean, but the rest of us need colour. Congratulations on your special day. I wish you a great time.
Margaret Williams 7 years ago
Have a vote for #1-A from me and a vote for #4-B from my husband.
Nebob Peebsley 7 years ago
Of them all, D is the most stylish. The others are frumpy. This woman still has style. Why not wear something memorable?
lemontzz aide 7 years ago
A. She looks stylish and elegant in the first two. All of the dresses are lovely in their own right but not all have the same impact on her. The last two - esp. the print make her look typical - a bit dated. I wish the happy couple the very best - I love the spirit. As long as you have life, LIVE!
Kerri Sheppard 7 years ago
At 93 you look amazing in all of them but my advice to you isn't to ask everyone else which one looks best ... it's to ask yourself which one makes you feel good, which one makes you feel like your in your sexy twenties again, which one makes you walk an inch taller just because you feel so damn good in it , which one feels most like you.. on your wedding day ... it's not about what everyone else thinks looks good... it's about what makes you feel radiant and that is what everyone will see on the day ... best wishes and congratulations 💖
Gerry Higgins 7 years ago
A, definitely A B is nice but the asymmetric style makes her look big C is too old lady-ish D looks like a sofa slip cover
