MT. PLEASANT, Pa. — As Jillian Nimick sorted through bags of prom dresses donated to Nimi Boutique on Main Street in Mt. Pleasant , she didn’t expect to find anything out of the ordinary, according to our news partners at the trib.
But then she did.
Nimick has been accepting prom dress donations to give away for free at her boutique since the spring. Sorting through a 25-bag donation she received June 9, she discovered a note paper-clipped to one of the dresses.
“I wanted to share with you the story of how I originally got this dress...” the note began.
The author explained how she originally found the dress for “very cheap” at an off-brand boutique’s sale rack because she wasn’t “about to spend $300+ on a prom dress.”
She wore the “beautiful blue” dress to the prom with her high school sweetheart, whom the note said she was supposed to marry in 2020.
“Some things are just meant to be, and I didn’t have the heart to just send this beauty to Goodwill,” the note read. “I knew (the dress) needed to have a greater purpose since the universe seemed to work so hard to get it to me.”
The note explained that after the author purchased the dress, she discovered a tracking number inside. She traced it online to a train shipment that was supposed to arrive in Chicago and the status read “lost in route.”
Fascinated, Nimick was determined to find the author of the note — so she turned to TikTok to spread the word. “I wanted to know if they got married during the pandemic,” Nimick said. “I figured TikTok would do its thing.”
And it did.
