When I Was Searching For A Baptism Dress, I Found A Great One

By Raheem T. Schoen


My daughter had been looking forward to getting baptized for a long time, and for her, it seemed as if her eighth birthday would never come soon enough, and for my part, I wanted to make the day special, so I determined to help her find the perfect baptism dress. I know that some people have clever relatives who make gorgeous dresses, but no one in my family possesses those particular skills, so I knew that we would have to go shopping in order to find the right dress for her.

Rather than just drive around, hoping to stumble across a store that sold white dresses for eight year old girls, I decided to look online first in order to see what was available in terms of stores where she could try on dresses before we made a purchase. I am certainly glad that I went this route, since before long I found the website for an awesome local store that sold some gorgeous white dresses and at very reasonable prices!

My daughter and I excitedly got into the car and headed down to the store, and the whole way there, she just kept telling me how excited she was to get baptized and what it meant to her, which almost moved me to tears. When we arrived at the store, I had to check my mascara a bit, but my daughter eagerly ran ahead of me into the store.

I followed her in, and we set out to find the perfect dress, which took a while since they had so many gorgeous dresses to choose from, but after trying several dresses on, my daughter proclaimed that she had found the perfect one. We purchased the dress, and drove home, and the smile on her face was something that I will cherish in my memories forever.

The baptism day was an incredible experience for all of us, with a lot of extended family that came from out of town just for the occasion, and we all appreciated the music, speakers and the baptism ceremony as well. 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 quickly 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 beautiful baptism dress!
