When Cassie was a little girl, her beloved Grandma Dottie gave her the cream-colored prom dress she wore to her own junior prom in the 1950s.
Dottie assumed Cassie would use it for playing dress up; she had no idea Cassie put it away in her closet and would keep it for years to come.
Eventually, on the night of Cassie’s high school graduation in California, she decided to wear that very same prom dress. Thanks to her grandmother’s style, the teen had fallen in love with vintage clothing — and Dottie had no idea what Cassie had planned.
Cassie told the rest of her family about the surprise but kept her grandmother in the dark. While visiting for the graduation ceremony, Dottie kept asking to see Cassie’s dress and was told it wasn’t at the house, but at one of Cassie’s friends houses.
Then, suddenly, Cassie stepped outside to reveal her dress to Dottie.
“Needless to say, there were lots of tears from everyone!” Cassie’s aunt wrote on YouTube.
