Reposted from a local Alameda, CA community group:

We found a wedding dress she believes belonged to a Coastie family about 20 years ago. Anyone have some connections to pull off this miracle and reunite the dress with the bride?

Details from the post are below:

Long shot: I found this wedding dress in a very well-duct taped box in my attic. It must have belonged to a tenant who lived here between 2003-2007 (not that entire span).

Unfortunately, while I rented my place I used a property management company which no longer has records from that long ago. I would love to reunite this dress with its bride.

What I know about the tenants:

•I believe the couple were both in the Coast Guard

•In or about 2003-2004, they had a baby or toddler

•My best guess, from the dress being boxed up in summer 1999, is that the wedding was also around that time.

•My house is on Bay Farm Island - Centre Court

•The box the dress is in has writing all over it, but ZERO information identifying the business. If anyone happens to recognize the writing that would be a fantastic start. Small chance, but worth a try.

That’s it, the extent of my knowledge. I have no idea if they stayed in Alameda or were stationed elsewhere. I hate to just get rid of this dress, so this is a last ditch effort to see if anyone has a clue.

Gold Lifetime member Alex Chapman has crossed the bar 💔 I only knew him for a few short years but absolutely adored him! Rest in peace my friend.
