Wedding Dress

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

Hi Sarah,

Please keep those for your children. It is their heritage also. My parents divorced, both sadly deceased now; but I have their old black and white photos and I love them. They are my parents; and their marriage is part of my life too.

With my own photos; I'll keep them also. I think they are a part of the rich tapestry of my life.

I watched Oprah tackle this subject: and she said to keep the wedding album for the kids.

As for the dresses: the Charity shops do really well with them, people like the materials, girls like them for dressing up; school plays etc.

Anyone looking to profit: try E-Bay!

I agree with Sera regarding wedding photos - keep them for your children. I have no children from the marriage, so feel no guilt in destroying my photos.

I have my parents' wedding album, they divorced 26 years ago - my father wanted to throw the album away, but my lovely step-mum "rescued" it and gave it to me.

I sold my wedding rings sometime ago - and bought myself some new clothes with the procceds (well, having lost over 4 stone, and dropping 4 dress sizes, I needed them!)

My photo's are in the loft in a box for the children, as are all the photo's of thier dad.Upto the kids what they do with them.

Poppie,

Well done! xxxxxx

I have got rid of my 2 previous wedding dresses, 3rd wedding dress still in wardrobe, havent given it much thought.

My first wedding on October 29th 1988, still have the wedding video and will never destroy it because my darling daughter was a bridesmaid and was only 13 months old so will keep it for her.

I gave my wedding rings from my first marriage to our first born, daughter who is 21 now about 3 years ago.

Dont destroy things as you will only regret it later, keep it for your kids or for your own memories.

I gave my wedding dress to a charity shop. My daughter is taller than me, so even if she had wanted to wear it, it would not have fitted. I gave her the wedding album. Her father asked her where it was, I think he though I had destroyed it, but I would never do that. The marriage was a part of my life, and I have two children resulting from it. We are still their parents no matter what, so the album is theirs now.


I still have my wedding, engagement and eternity rings. Only 9ct gold, so not sure I'd get much money for them but I guess selling them would be the best thing. It's a shame cos I really like the eternity ring....

Hi guys,
My x2b came home one day and started tearing some of our old photos,was not even wedding ones,my daughter was very upset.
I have never felt any need to destroy anything from my past.I got married 3 times(same man in 3 different countries,just to please every one)I have still got the 3 outfits.One of the wedding photodraphs is still on the dressing table and I love it being there.
