This weekend, the former “Bachelorette” lead took to Instagram to share some bad luck.. her wedding dress was stolen along with her car.

“When [my fiancé] and I got back from Hawaii at the beginning of this week, my car had been broken into while we were gone,” Crawley began to explain. “And guess what was in the car? Keep in mind my wedding is very soon,” the reality star continued.

“My wedding dress was in my car!,” she exclaimed, “It was in there because I was supposed to take it to get its last alteration and I wanted to remind myself not to forget it. And my wedding dress was taken.”

Despite being the victim of theft, the 41-year-old is looking on the bright side, saying she believes everything happens for a reason. “In the moment, I was like ‘Ughhhhh, what do I do?’ And I thought, ‘It’s okay. It’s about the moment and what we’re celebrating,” Crawley said. “‘I can wear anything, and I’ll be happy that we’re getting married’.”

“I know I always share this, but I am deeply, deeply in the belief that everything is supposed to happen how it’s supposed to happen,” Crawley said before adding, “regardless of if it looks good or it looks bad or it’s what I want or not what I want.”

“I trust to the depths of my soul that everything is for a reason. And we might not know what that reason looks like right now but it works out. So let me tell you what happened,” she continued to explain.

Not All Is Lost…

The “Bachelorette” star went on to explain how she went back to the bridal shop where she’d purchased her dress and explained what happened to the employees. The store owner did not hesitate and quickly came up with a plan to help the 41-year-old.

“Basically, within three days, I got a brand-new dress altered, pressed, completely altered again in the best way, like even more fitting,” Crawley said before adding that the replacement gown actually has meaning. “Turns out, that was the wedding dress that was on my Pinterest board three years ago,” she said, “It’s the dress of my dreams.”

Crawley added, “She actually picked the dress out and was like, ‘Here wear this one.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll wear anything!’ And it literally turns out … it’s the most beautiful dress, and it’s better than I could have imagined.”
