A lifestyle vlogger from Sydney, Australia, has gone viral for saying the see-through wedding dress she wore during her after-party was done to send a message to her future daughter.

The 23-second video clip was uploaded on Tuesday, May 9, and it was accompanied by onscreen text and a text-to-speech narration.

"We pushed ourselves [to] think creatively and outside of the box, whilst still keeping the dress refined and classy," she continued. "The end product."
