A bride-to-be wore her mother's wedding dress from 1993 for her engagement photo shoot at a 7-Eleven

Green said she eventually found out that Baciu told his friends he would marry her one day after they met for the first time.

"I thought that was funny because at first, I saw him as one of my little sister's friends that had a crush on me," she said.

For months, Baciu kept coming up with excuses to come around, and he asked Green out multiple times, but she just kept saying no.

It wasn't until Green found out that Baciu went on a date with someone else that she realized she had feelings for him.

The two started officially dating on March 3, 2019.

The local winery hosted an event where visitors could bottle up their own wine, so Green asked Baciu to go with her. She had no idea that he had planned the proposal specifically during that weekend because he knew it was an event she would want to attend.

Baciu had coordinated with Green's little sister to have the bridge at the winery decorated with flower petals, and for music to start playing the moment they walked onto it.

"I don't even remember what he said because I was so shocked," she said.

But the surprises didn't end there. Green's little sister popped out from the bushes after flying in from Boston for the proposal.

After Baciu popped the question, the couple headed to a local wine bar to celebrate. Baciu surprised Green again with 30 of their closest friends and family, including her best friend, who flew in from California.

"At this point, I was inconsolable," she said, laughing. "Everyone came together, so it was really special. I didn't think so many people would be coming out of town to celebrate with us."

Green told Insider that she wasn't planning on doing an engagement photo shoot because it wasn't in her budget. But then her cousin offered to take photos for free.

Green's cousin suggested taking the photos at a 7-Eleven because it was such a popular place for them growing up in Kennewick, Washington. One specific location in the city used to be known as the "Slurpee King of the World" because it sold the most flavors of any 7-Eleven location in North America.

Although that specific 7-Eleven closed in 2021, Green and Baciu loved the idea of doing "something a little fun, a little bit different," she said.

And having the shoot at 7-Eleven wasn't the only sentimental part of the day. Green also decided to pay tribute to her mom by wearing her wedding dress.

"I thought it was just a fun way to be the favorite daughter, I guess," she said.

The mermaid-style gown was designed with puffy sleeves and intricate beading all over. Green said her mom bought the dress for about $300 and only had the dangling beads on the sleeves added as a fun detail.

"I remember growing up thinking my mom looked like the most beautiful woman in the world in her wedding dress," Green said.

Green's dad wore his suit with a black bolo tie and a rose to match his wife's bouquet.

Green wore her mom's wedding dress with the same pearl jewelry she wore on her wedding day. She paired the look with white boots she bought at TJ Maxx.

Baciu wore his brown tuxedo with the same bolo tie Green's father wore in 1993.

"It felt so cool and sentimental to give my mom that moment," Green said of wearing her mom's dress. "We look like a younger version of my parents, and that's what we were trying to do."

Green said her mom cried when she saw the pictures from the photo shoot for the first time. It was even more special because none of her other sisters wore the dress for their weddings.

"I think it was very surreal for her because the dress fit me perfectly. She was crying her head off," Green said. "I was really honored to give my mom that moment, and I know she felt the same way."

Green said arriving at the 7-Eleven in their photo-shoot looks made her believe in humanity again because everyone was so nice.

"I went into it super nervous, but everyone had such great energy," she said. "The vibe was there and everyone was so kind. It made it really fun."

The 27-year-old bride-to-be posted a TikTok video of the photos on March 11. The video has over 1 million views at the time of writing.

Green said that having the TikTok go viral has made her wedding-planning process even more fun.

"It was such a special moment for me, so for it to resonate with so many other people is amazing," she added. "It's been really fun to see other people excited for us too."
