1. Woman finds mother's missing wedding dress in antiques store

Jane Fine Foster was shopping in Grand Junction, Colorado, earlier this year when she did a double take. As she walked by A Robin's Nest Antiques, Foster saw three very familiar pictures in a frame: They were of her mother, taken at her 1948 wedding. Foster thought she'd never see the photos again — her family had missed a payment in 2003 on their storage unit, and the contents, including the pictures and her mother's wedding dress, were auctioned off. "You think, 'Oh, you're seeing things,'" Foster told Inside Edition. "That really was my mother's wedding photo." She went inside and shared her story with the owner, who shocked her once again by saying he also had the wedding gown. Foster's mother died in 2013, and having her dress back means Foster can "touch it now and think of her."
