Some of you may think this is a little nutty, but after my divorce was final yesterday, I decided to burn my wedding dress. It was kind of a therapeutic act for me, and felt like it gave me the final closure I needed. Now, this dress had no monetary value. I bought it for about $200 about eight years ago, and it was very dirty and messed up from the reception. I never had it cleaned because it would have cost more than I spent on the dress. Also, I don't have any daughters....not that they'd want to wear it anyway. It was kind of powerful watching it burn down to nothing. It almost felt like all the pain and disappointment was being destroyed with it. Yesterday was definitely a bittersweet day.
But for your viewing pleasure, I have attached some pictures of it!
