I bought a wedding dress at Goodwill for $8.굿윌에서 결혼 드레스를 8달러에 샀어요.

At home, while fixing a loose thread, I felt something crinkle inside the lining.집에서 헐거운 실을 고치고 있는데 안감 안에서 뭔가 바스락거리는 느낌이 들더라고요.

I thought it was extra padding, but it was a little pocket sewn shut.그냥 추가 패딩인 줄 알았는데, 꿰매진 작은 주머니였어요.

I carefully opened it and found a $100 bill folded inside a note.조심스럽게 열어보니 쪽지에 접힌 100달러 지폐가 들어있었어요.

“To the next bride who wears this dress: The first year is hard, but it’s worth it. Dinner is on us. Together 54 years — M & J.”이 드레스를 입을 다음 신부에게 - 첫 해는 힘들지만, 그만한 가치가 있어요. 저녁은 우리가 살게요. 54년 함께 - M & J

💡 The price tag gets upstaged
The hidden cash is more than twelve times the dress’s price. But the note turns the lucky find into a wedding gift from strangers.
