Wedding Dress

I decided to have a clear out of my wardrobe today, hanging in there was my wedding dress, it has travelled around with me to three different countries and new homes over the past 15 years. It has been taken out occasionally to look at and remember that wonderful day in Barbados.

Well today it came out of the wardrobe for the last time and I took a pair of scissors and cut it up slowly into pieces. I felt no sadness, there were no tears which surprised me and when I put it in the rubbish bin I felt nothing.

I feel like I am finally moving on.

Wow, thats quite a thing to do! we all need to do things that make us feel better, and realise that we are moving forward.

I shredded or burnt all my wedding photos, as well as all the ones that had him in them - I felt so much better knowing that I will NEVER have to see his face again.

I handed my wedding dress into a local charity shop - and felt nothing when handing it over. I hope someone can find happiness whilst wearing it.

wow my wedding dress is in my parents loft dunno what i will do with it when they move as it has been in there for ages , but i loved that dress and bought it out of some money my grandfather left me in his will.Bet my grandfather will tell me off when he see's me again fancy wasting it on that dress.

I too donated my dress to the Big C charity shop and felt nothing. I even put it on one last time to show my children and felt absolutely nothing whilst wearing it.

All it was doing was sitting in my loft.

I did wonder whether I wanted someone else to wear it knowing the history of my marriage but it is only a dress.

The person that wears it and the person she marries are who will make the marriage work.

As for the wedding photos, really not sure what to do with those as yet, still pondering on that one.

I too got married in Barbados and I'm taking my wedding dress and wedding album to the local amenity tip this weekend, goodbye to bad rubbish xx

Changing the subject slightly, What about wedding rings? I'm not sure what to do with mine. What have you all done with yours?

I ripped up my wedding album up whilst sobbing my heart out, the kids saw me, I regretted it so much that I went to my parents and got the copy album. There were people in the pictures that are no longer with me, especially my gran.

I also threw my dress on the tip, another act I later regretted, my gran made it...

I realised later that my wedding memories are very special for more reasons than i first thought, it was a day I shared with everyone that was special in my life at that time, including my ex.

Our wedding photo's are a part of our family history for my kids to show their kids...
