“She wouldn’t let me know anything about it until she came down the aisle and I got to touch it, so it was incredible. It was so beautiful to me,” explained Anthony S. Ferraro, a well-known blind influencer.
Weddings are often the most special day for couples who’ve dreamed for years of being able to officialize their love in a ceremony with their friends and family. These events are characterized by the variety of ways in which they’re celebrated.
Anthony S. Ferraro is a young blind American who became an influencer on social media and who also celebrated his wedding recently.
The couple wanted that experience to be unique and to remember it for the rest of their lives. That’s why his wife, Kelly Anne Ferraro, bought a tactile dress for the occasion, which allowed Anthony to have another perspective of Kelly’s outfit beyond the visual component.
This dress featured textures throughout the garment that were “pleasant to the touch,” as the young man explained, something she thought of especially for Anthony. “Being blind, textures are really important to me,”the groom said.
The woman tried on many dresses, including some that were much more traditional, but ultimately, she wanted to stick with this more inclusive garment for her groom. “She wouldn’t let me know anything about it until she came down the aisle and I got to touch it, so it was incredible. It was so beautiful to me. I could picture her in my head perfectly,” Anthony added.
The details of this dress, which featured special lace and different textures, impressed the dozens of guests who were able to witness Anthony and Kelly’s wedding.
Thanks to this surprise from Kelly, this special day will be unforgettable for both of them, especially because it brings to the table the issue of making events more inclusive for those with different abilities like Anthony. “It was truly the most amazing day, where so many friends and family came to support our love,” closed the influencer.
