In a video on her @rachelconnealy TikTok account, she wrote: “I thrifted this silk dress right after we got engaged and still wore it for the ceremony.

“My ceremony dress from Goodwill for $3 (£2.26).”

Amazingly, this wasn’t the only wedding dress she found at the thrift shop.

Rachel also picked up a second gown for her wedding reception for just $5 (£3.77).

This gorgeous white short dress featured puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice and a floaty tassel skirt.

Finding two wedding dresses for just over a fiver has got to be the bargain of the year.

Many people were hugely impressed by her whopping savings, especially considering the average bride spends £1,313 on her wedding dress, according to Hitched.co.uk.

One said: “The thrifty gods really have favourites.”

Another added: “Genuinely stunning. Like something out of a magazine.”

A third commented: “You remind me of gorgeous Meghan Markle here.”
