CBS4's Suzanne McCarroll talks to July Parsley about the new wedding gown she's getting.

A bride out $1,200 and with no wedding gown got some help from someone quietly paying it forward.
A bride, jilted by the Mountain Avenue Bridal shop, is getting a new gown free of charge.
Julie Parsley put $1,200 down for the dress of her dreams. Then the store closed unexpectedly. The bride-to-be had less than one month to find something to wear as she walked down the aisle. The problem though -- all her money went to the first dress.
"It's been stressful," Parsley told CBS4.
She is getting married at a small venue just outside of Fort Collins. Bobbie Randolph, the owner of the Tapestry House where the wedding will take place, heard Julie's woeful wedding tale.
"Julie and Josh are sweethearts and they certainly didn't deserve to be put in this position." said the woman who fancies herself as someone who helps brides make their dreams come true.
Coincidentally, after hearing of Parsley's missing gown, money was sent to David's Bridal Shop in Fort Collins so that Julie could choose a new wedding dress.
"I think all I could do is cry over the phone," said the bride-to-be.
When CBS4 asked Bobbie Randolph if she was the anonymous donor, all she could do was smile.
"Somehow magically you may have had some light touch in her solution to her wedding dress problem? Magically maybe," said Randolph.
Parsley will walk down the aisle Sept 5. She says her wedding dress saga will provide good tales to tell her grandchildren someday.
