My ex-DH threw out the family photo album before he died. He was in a hospice so I loaned it to him to remember the children when they were small. I should have known better. The grandchildren would have liked to see their dads as kids

Don't have my 1st wedding dress, just my Mom & Dad present, but yes, have my 2nd wedding dress. It was a "hand me up". Oldest daughter married at 18, and had a beautiful white, lace, dress. At age 46, I married the love of my life, and my daughter said "Mom, would you like to wear my dress?" I said yes, and it fit to a tee. (wouldn't fit now though) 20 wonderful years later. Made my 2 daughter’s bridesmaid's dresses, my son gave me away, and hubby's 2 sons’ stood up with him. What a memory. :)

I still have mine! It is a white lace mini dress. Got married by a JP 41 years ago. I think I can fit one thigh in it. :cry:

I still have mine 65 years later. My two daughters did not wear it, so it's still in the box. White satin(which has turned to a light cream) and quite a train on it.

I bought mine 53 years ago from a local dept store for $25. It is in a box in the basement. We put it on display at our 50th Ann. Along with my husband's marine corps uniform he wore at our wedding. He passed away last May. I miss him every day.

my mom still has hers, it's at my grandma's house somewhere, but she told me if I could fit into it with minor adjustments, I could wear hers for my wedding.

I don't care that it's not the latest style. It's a classic look I think and I love it. My mom still has her hairpiece that my aunt made then framed later in a shadow box which hangs in their room.

I made my dress (in secret as my husband and I lived together before we got married), still have the dress in my "hope chest" (what am I hoping for now?. Been married 37 years. My daughters didn't want to wear it when they got married, maybe my granddaughters. Who knows? If not then someone can toss it out after I am gone.
