It's strange how one tiny zipper tooth can create such big problems—and such amazing resolutions.
It was Jo Du's wedding day in Ontario, Canada when the dress's zipperbroke. While everyone was struggling for some kind of tools, some of the guests walked next door to the house of Jo's neighbor David Hobson.
When they returned, they came bearing interesting news:David had taken in a family of Syrian refugees, the father of which was a master tailor who said he would be happy to help. With toolbox in hand, Ibrahim Dudu walked over and mended Jo's dress in front of an amazed wedding party.
The photographer, Lindsay Coulter, was there to witness the whole thing. "Every weekend I take photos of people on the happiest days of their lives, and todayone manwho has seen some of the worst things our world has to offer came to the help, " Lindsay wrote on Facebook. "I am so proud to live in Canada, a country who has opened our doors to refugees countless times. I respect the families who have welcomed these strangers in to their homes and lives, and I'm inspired by the adapt ability of the Syrian people. We are truly blessed. "
The meeting was important since Jo and her husband Earl are both immigrants themselves.
Ibrahim and his family had only been in Canada for four days before the incident. Since none of them spoke a word of English, they had been communicating merely through Google Translate.
