I feel that pain - but my traditional wedding dress was from a marriage that lasted only two years. My 2nd husband (of 35+ years) and I had a less traditional wedding. I wore a dove grey quiana gown - he got the white suit! So my first wedding gown meant nothing to me. When my girls were looking for Halloween 'ghost bridal gowns' I decided it was time to give it up to them. Now, after many years of spooky fun, it's covered in fake blood and the train and veil are thread-bare. At 28 and 22 years old, they still use it!!
