After getting married, I kept my wedding dress tucked away at one end of my closet for about five and a half years and then decided that there really was no point in keeping it anymore. It took up a lot of room and I knew the likelihood of me ever wearing it again was slim to none.
My friend suggested that I try to sell it, but somehow it just didn’t seem right. It somehow seemed really unsentimental. So, instead, I decided to just donate it to a local thrift store. Maybe that doesn’t sound very sentimental to you, either, but to me it made more sense. Part of the reason is because I didn’t spend a ton of money on my dress, relative to how much many wedding dresses cost. And who knows? Maybe my dress will make someone else’s day really special!
