Sometimes, finding the perfect wedding dress seems impossible but this bride faces the opposite problem. Sylvia Martin, 93, is marrying her long-term friend Frank Raymond, 88, in July but she can't decide between her most favorite gowns. So, she asked the internet for help and we're here for her!
The story started when this great-grandmother from Canberra, Australia, went shopping for an ideal gown. She tried on a number of dresses but 4 of them were Sylvia's absolute favorites and she couldn't pick which one to choose. To help her, somebody took the discussion to Facebook where they posted a picture of Sylvia posing in all of the dresses and asked their followers which design should the classy lady choose.
The post also said that Frank has asked Sylvia to marry him many times. "Sylvia has always refused, thinking that to take a new surname would be disrespectful to her deceased husband," it said. "A year ago, Sylvia took ill and moved to Canberra to be near her family, and Frank thought all hope was lost. When Sylvia recovered, she found Frank, who was living in Adelaide, and convinced him to move to Canberra to be with her. Frank arrived a couple of months ago and again asked Sylvia to marry him. Sylvia had learned that you can keep your own surname when you marry, and so said yes."
While we can't attend this beautiful couple's wedding, we certainly can help the bride decide what to wear.

Wear this on your honeymoon instead! Really nice dinner and holiday dress.
I like them all, you look so lovely!!! But my personal favorite is D... Enjoy Your wedding day! Congrats!!! Greetings from Belgium xxx
She's 93. She's not going to be wearing a white lamp shade.

Add a splashy necklace or patterned scarf and you're good to go.

dress a with the pearls doubled around the neck, they hang too low....need pearl ear rings also......good for you
I agree with Johanna Quigley = great fancy dinner and holiday dress.
I like A best, it is the most Classy, flattering and modern, young and fresh and has a nice neckline . C and D look more older not just in style but more like an older women would choose 10 + years ago, the style on D is nice but it is to busy.
try something white. its traditional i guess and she will look just stunning. otherwise a is better than others
Pick C! It is beautiful & looks so wonderful on you! Congratulations!
This one I like I'd put this as number 2 in choice A is definitely the best good luck 💑
B is VERY flattering on you. Congratulations to you both and the wish of many great years together
Definately dress A for the wedding but keep dress B also you look beautiful in both . Congratulations and much happiness
She looks lovely in all of them, but I pick D. Will we find out which one she chooses? But I still pick D
Love the happiness of the print!congratulations,you will be beautiful no matter what you wear!
B or D Congratulations on you up coming wedding and all the best to you and your hubby to be.
#B #B#B all the way on Wedding Day. It's young and smart❤️ It doesn't show lines from underneath ❤️Or age bumps. Flowers for a beautiful lady❤️
I think C is fitting the festive event. Congratulations to you both.
I agree with Johanna - this is a great derss for going out on the town.
I'm voting for this, not because of the dress, but from her expression, she looks happy.
no no no. choose A - simple clean lines and beautiful, the groom will love it
D all the way. The way you're smiling and holding yourself in d also seems like you feel most glamorous in that one. :)
1Ais perfect for your body but 2D would be hot for yiur after-party, the other two make you look really old
I'm sorry but I really don't like any of them for a wedding dress. I know you are 93 yrs old but I think something in a pale blue or mint green would be so much prettier for a wedding. All the others except D looks like a good dress to attend a church service.
I tried to vote for A, but I like this one for the honeymoon!!
I love them all- but my favorite is #1-A. Best wishes to the bride and groom!
Everyone, she is 93 years old and if she wishes to wear red for her wedding then that is fine. I personally like #1A, it has very nice lines which really flatter your figure and has a flowey bridal look/feel to it. Plus, as an artist, I think the blue red suits your complextion more than the orange red. In the end, wear what makes you smile as you picture yourself wearing it for your wedding day. Congratulations lovely lady! :)
The print and the shape of the dress is very flattering ... I love this dress!
This looks gorgeous on you. You should wear it on honeymoon. But D is my choice ❤️
I agree, wear this on your honeymoon for a really nice dinner dress...
Wear what you wish as your just as beautiful on the outside as the inside 😎
C. I love #C . Lace is all the rage right now and is best suited to your figure.
I think A looks the nicest for your wedding, good luck and congratulations to you both..
I like A the best, followed by B. I just hope someone does a follow-up to let us all know what her final decision is.
Hey pretty Lady Sylvia, dress A has been made for you. You look gorgeous with it. :)
You look lovely in all except C. I think A is the most flattering and that a very light foundation garment would give you a smooth silhouette.
If only this one was in the red. The shape looks the best but the red looks good on her. I'd take it to a talented seamstress and have it made in red.
No... lovely for the honeymoon, or as a dressy dinner outfit, but not for the wedding itself.
A.........lovely .....the best one for moving, dancing 💃, walking ......very pretty indeed 👌💕, enjoy your day 🥂🍾
i think c is very nice and classy.....although you look wonderful in all of them!! have a blessed wedding day and god bless!
I think C is flattering and kind of more wedding-ish because of the lace. I love B because of the print. I think it is very figure flattering. A and D are nice but seem kind of plain. Even though they have the most fashion forward designs. By the look on your face however, you look like you love the flower print one the most. You have a smile and look more confident.
I think you look beautiful in all and pick the one which feels the most comfortable so you can enjoy your day❤️
I like C the best, but she looks fabulous in all of them. If I get to be her age, I pray I'll look that great.
I'd tell you your birthday suit but you probably want witnesses and I'm not sure how the Pastor or Justice of Peace would take it. Either way, ma'am, you are so lovely, your clothes don't really matter.
I think this compliments her body the best, and the print is Beautiful for a classy lady.
A! B are rather busy, but C is pretty nice, also. It looks cute, but I'd be worried about the practicality of D
She can't go wrong with any of the choices. Everyone is going to be looking at her radiance and not the dress she wore. With that said, I vote for A!
A, definitely. Simple but elegant and flattering. The color and cut both suit her perfectly and make her seem so refined. Congratulations!
She is an inspiration!! And she looks awesome in all of them!! Congrats kiddo!!! Have a lovely Honeymoon!!!
Happy wedding and all happiness to the beautiful couple! <3 I hope she keeps us posted on her choice and shares photos! :D
D to be honest but Frank will love you no matter what you wear <3
I'm between C and D, but she looks fantastic in all of them... Why doesn't she start with one and then change every hour? :D
D- it's a great fashion statement, yet sleek and subtle at the same time!
A or B depending on her personality. Those other dresses look matronly and not that unique or special!
C. I believe the lacy adds finesse! Happy Wedding and many happy times ahead!!
You look pretty in all of them but I thought D looked very stylish on you wishing you as many happy years God has planned for you :)
A because it has great color for her complexion, great fit, stylish, and shows off her sassiness! B has good color. C and D simply don't show off her youthful and playful and sassy essence.
I'm torn between A & D; they both are "simple" yet timeless. The lacy one detracks from her beauty & the floral is just......no words to describe it. And the colors of A & D are good for her.
D, but they all look lovely on you. Good luck with your wedding. xxxxxx
I think she should choose A. B is also okay. C is too old looking , yeah, I know she's old , but she's sassy. And D is just too frumpy and makes her look heavy.
Congratulations and Blessings on your wedding for the 2 of you Amen

A...In my opinion it is the most flattering on her...Congratulations!
1 A ... or 4 B Depends on your Personality ..... 1, A is a little more conservative .... 4.B has a more of out going personality ...
The straight skirt is more becoming And long sleeves are a must. Good luck
D Dahlin, the flyest of the bunch!! The rest are all old lady which you definitely are not!!!
Dress A looks the best on her and makes her look younger, too, in my opinion! Very Classy!
Click bait. She probably doesn't even know someone stole her dinner photos.
I'd go for "A", as it compliments her figure and legs best :) Best wishes also!
You look beautiful in all of them, but C is my favorite! Congratulations
I think C is BEAUTIFUL on you. A little lace is always lovely on a wedding dress.
A It's a very classy and sophisticated look for Sylvia! I'm excited for you!
My favorite is C. Looks really nice. But any of them look good on her. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
You look lovely. My favorite on you is "A". The style is perfect on you and the color is gorgeous.
No matter what dress you choose you will be stunning and in his eyes the most beautiful woman. A OR D are my personal favs. Best wishes
I'm sure that the lady is going to go through all these 450 posts, write down our preferences in four columns, and then finally decide accordingly... That exactly how a 95 years old lady take a decision about a dress
regardless of what this wonderful woman wears on her wedding day, i hope she has a brilliant day, and that we are lucky enough to see a few celebratory pictures after!
I like C. And good for her for marrying a younger guy. Remember: "You're only as old as the man you feel."
Well first off, I want to say this lady looks to have a personality that is 1 in a million! Congratulations!!! Second of all, if the wedding is in July it is going to be pretty warm out, so wearing something with less sleeves will be best. 😊 third, I absolutely love dress C! Very beautiful dress for such a radient looking women. Keep strutting your stuff! You have the best day of your life ma'am! I dont care what others may say, you deserve to be happy no matter your age! I am very very excited for you! Thank you soo much for sharing such a big part of your life with us! You are a very beautiful person! 😍
c, I think Sylvia will be stunning in this and I love lace. congratulations and I wish you both all the best
D Adds a very stylish youthful look, nontraditional like getting married at 93?
You will make a very lovely bride, It is your day, you will look amazing in any one of them, what ever dress you choose will be the right one.God Bless you & your new Groom, May you have many wonderful years together. <3 ^i^ ^i^ <3
A. But pick the one that makes you feel the prettiest. Remember it's your day. Have fun. Best of luck.
i used to do that. With ice cream choices at lunch in high school. Regret.
I like A for the wedding & B for the HoneyMoon . She looks great in either dress . Congratulations .
C. Do you have to wear Red. Why not another color? I hate to say this, but whatever dress it would look better if you got a better bra. Just saying.
D but you look lovely in all of them. I wish you a very happy time together💍🌻🍾
You look beautiful in all of them but I think A is the most flattering.
A A A is the one. The color is very flattering. BTW Congratulations young lady!
4B!! Me and my daughter both agree this one is lush- however she looks lovely in all of the dresses xx
A looks elegant and suits you best, hope you both will be very happy 🍷🍷🎉🎈🍻🎂🇬🇧
While B is a more modern look with patterned fabric, I think the C choice is more flattering and I like the look of lace in a wedding.
D. They are all lovely but this one is my favorite. Which ever one you end up with will look lovely. Much happiness to you,
Argh, the order of the pictures confused med. I meant that dress A and D are perfect and classy.

#2 D, is just way cute on her. Makes her look like she can take on the world!
I vote for dress #A! Very classy style and, in my opinion, the one you look youngest in!!!!
D all the way. It fits het beautiful, is different Because of the sleeve and a really Nice color
Nice to hear stories like this. I think love is really powerful no matter how old you are. I think A is classy.
Congratulations!❤️ You look beautiful in all of them, but for your wedding day I vote for #2 D
Lovely Lady in Red! They all look great. I like C and D! Have a fabulous time and best of luck to you and yours!
I think you look very nice in "C". I also think that if you put a little colour in your hair, you would look wonderful. Blonde is great when you are a tean, but the rest of us need colour. Congratulations on your special day. I wish you a great time.
NO... D! Why the hell does it go ADCB? The bright red one!

Have a vote for #1-A from me and a vote for #4-B from my husband.
Of them all, D is the most stylish. The others are frumpy. This woman still has style. Why not wear something memorable?
A. She looks stylish and elegant in the first two. All of the dresses are lovely in their own right but not all have the same impact on her. The last two - esp. the print make her look typical - a bit dated. I wish the happy couple the very best - I love the spirit. As long as you have life, LIVE!
At 93 you look amazing in all of them but my advice to you isn't to ask everyone else which one looks best ... it's to ask yourself which one makes you feel good, which one makes you feel like your in your sexy twenties again, which one makes you walk an inch taller just because you feel so damn good in it , which one feels most like you.. on your wedding day ... it's not about what everyone else thinks looks good... it's about what makes you feel radiant and that is what everyone will see on the day ... best wishes and congratulations 💖
A, definitely A B is nice but the asymmetric style makes her look big C is too old lady-ish D looks like a sofa slip cover
A! B are rather busy, but C is pretty nice, also. It looks cute, but I'd be worried about the practicality of D
