I Required A Baptism Dress For My Daughter And I Found A Gorgeous One

By Raheem T. Schoen


My daughter was eagerly looking forward to her eighth birthday for lots of reasons, but mostly because she was going to be baptized, so I wanted to do my best to help her find the most beautiful baptism dress she had ever seen. I know that some people have clever relatives who make gorgeous dresses, but no one in my family possesses those specific skills, so I knew that we would have to go shopping in order to find the right dress for her.

I thought the best option for me would likely be to jump on my computer and do a broad online search for a nice white dress in my daughter's size, rather than just driving around aimlessly, hoping to find something that might work. I was in luck, and within a couple minutes, I found the website for a local store that sold precisely what we were looking for and for very reasonable prices!

I told my daughter about this store and she could hardly wait to get in the car and drive down there to look at the dresses, which we did, and the whole way over, she joyfully chatted about her upcoming baptism, which brought tears to my eyes. When we got to the store I had to take a minute to dry my eyes, but my daughter was oblivious and ran ahead of me into the store.

I followed, and together we set about finding the perfect baptism dress, which involved choosing from a huge number of styles and trying each one of them on several times before she stated that she was satisfied. We purchased the dress, and drove home, and the smile on her face was something that I will hold in my memories always.

When the big day of the baptism eventually arrived, we all had a phenomenal experience, with a lot of extended family that came from out of town for the occasion, and we all had a great time celebrating this important day together. When the big day was over and all the dust had settled, I felt a little bit sad that everything was behind us now, but I soon remembered that my next daughter would be turning eight before long, and we would have another big day to look forward to, and this time I would know just where to go to find the most gorgeous baptism dress!
