ATLANTA — A Georgia State University graduate is pleading for the return of her wedding gown.
A metro area dry cleaner said it accidentally donated the dress to Goodwill.
"It was everything to her,” Jake Krajewski said. “Everything that the whole family talked about, everyone who had been there when she bought the dress."
It has been four years since the ceremony, but his wife, Erin, never wanted to part with the gown.
Jake says Erin's aunt had been storing the dress since the wedding, and she recently dropped it off at an Atlanta area dry cleaner, which accidentally donated the dress to Goodwill.

"It was as if someone had died," Jake Krajewski said. "She was very distraught about it. It was immediately after she got off the phone with them, so her reaction was tears. Very sad."
The couple has called every local Goodwill trying to track it down, but it appears they already sold it.
They've posted their story on social media, and and they hope that whoever bought it will will bring it back.
"With a wedding dress, it plays a huge role in your family,” Jake Krajewski said. “It's something that ideally you want to pass along to your children someday. It's a symbol of your family and your marriage.To be able to add that part of the story to it would be an incredible experience for us."
Jake says his wife was too upset about all this to do an interview.
He says Goodwill and the cleaners are trying to help them locate the dress.
