Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

The idea of a cheap wedding dress sounds like a bit of an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Most of us would not even think to look for a dress with the titular price tag. It seems insane to even consider.

Many brides are resigned to the fact that they are going to have to spend big. In fact, most of us are simply going to fork over the thousands that such a dress requires without so much as a second thought.

Yes, it seems crazy to spend that kind of money on a garment that you are only going to wear one time but that’s just the way it is, you know? That’s what makes this story such a special one to us. Madi decided that she wanted to do things a bit differently. She elected to order a dress online and wear it without even seeing it in person.

This would allow her to save a few bucks and we can understand where she is coming from here. However, things did not seem to go according to plan. When she got the package, it came to her in the shape of a basketball. From the looks of it, they needed sticky tape to hold everything together as well.

Of course, she took to TikTok for the unveiling. This unboxing video is too funny and we were in stitches from start to finish.

“That’s what you get for ordering an online dress for your wedding,” she says and we cannot agree more. Sometimes, it is better to just spend the money after all. That’s one of the hardest parts of life.

We do what we can to save money and end up regretting it over the long haul anyway. As the video goes on, our suspicions are proven incorrect, though. Madi eventually gets the dress open and seems happy with her purchase! “It’s exactly what I hoped for… I’m glad I trusted the process,” she says.

Can you believe that she showed the internet before she showed her own family? We can see why now. She might be happy but the internet was less than impressed with her non-traditional choice.

She was teased and called Little Bo Peep, a nod to the ridiculous dress Rachel from “Friends” was forced to wear. Madi is the only one who needs to be happy!

“I love all the positive and funny things mentioned! I’m super happy and no one can change my mind about that. So excited for the big day,” she said.
