I had a turquoise silk sheath that I wore several times afterwards. Then after my first child it wouldn't fit me anymore so I guess I donated it. My Dad had died about a year before we married and I decided I would not go with a big "white" wedding if he couldn't be there.

first wedding- gave it to my friend- she was collecting them (why? I don't know. I should ask her) Wish I had kept it- it was on the cover of Bride magazine and was so so pretty. Dumped the groom- dirtbag. Second wedding- it's in the closet in the guest room. dd wanted to wear it but I talked her out of it- I didn't want to alter it (and it wasn't from my marriage to her Dad- hubby #1).
I'd like to wear it to our 20th anniversary. We are going to renew our vows- no one was there with us, just 2 friends. Our children and my family were mad at us. Now I need to lose the 35 lbs. I've gained in 18 years.

My eldest DD told me after cause she knew I would go balastic on this idiotic woman. DD said she ruined it (the dress) for her and she would never wear it. So it was history when I finally got it back!

Mine came from a Thrift Store cost me more to have it cleaned for the wedding than it did to buy it I think $50. My maid of honor wore my prom dress which was a 99 cent dress even my flowers were "used" except the ones I carried. Now it hangs in my closet didn't even have it cleaned afterwards. Still married 26 years later now days they spent hundreds/thousands of dollars for what?? LOVE I think not.

I am tired of seeing everyone's shoulders and cleavage. That stuff is for when you are trying to get a man, you presumably have one as you are walking down the aisle, so cover up a little. JMHO, hope I haven't offended anyone.
