I was 18 when I got married to my (bio) husband.
I have zero idea what happened to my wedding dress. I do have pictures and it was of the era-a simple, full-length A-line gown.
I do know exactly what I did with my engagement ring:
I pawned it for the money when my ex-husband stopped paying child support.
It was a fly-speck of a diamond and I got all of $150 bucks.
My oldest daughter was so happy that she found a new wedding gown on a 50% off sale for her wedding at David's bridal shop-11 years ago now.
My youngest daughter bought an expensive designer gown.
They always were on opposite ends of the spectrum.
For my second and final wedding....
...I don't know yet what I will be wearing and no, she has not asked me
yet .
Why don't we have a bride smilie?
