March 1, 2019 Grayleigh Opperman was a bridesmaid for her sister's destination wedding. Opperman packed her make-up and her heels, but didn't realize until she landed in Costa Rica that she forgot her dress.
UPDATE: The dress has arrived at Houston Hobby!(Shout out to the bridesmaid’s friend Rachel, who dropped it off at the airport this morning. We all need a friend like Rachel.) pic.twitter.com/K7aqVb25DY

March 1, 2019 Her friends back home scrambled to get the dress to her, exhausting all delivery options. So one of her friends tweeted at Southwest, asking for a miracle. She wrote, "Can we get her dress on Flight 1734 tomorrow..." #WorthATry.
The dress is officially en route to Costa Rica! Track the status: https://t.co/XJPEZ2Paf4 pic.twitter.com/SJvb0EHG2z

March 1, 2019 Southwest saw the tweet and said, "Let's do it." Sharing pictures of dress' journey and within 12 hours of the initial tweet, Opperman had her dress and the wedding went off without a hitch.
