the idear is to show such minor details don't matter in the new and financial independent life you're going to have now -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 08:13 1
- I think it's just payback to get rid of all the stress that goes into planning the wedding in the first place... -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 08:14
a friend of mine mentioned it this weekend - she can't pass it down, it's way too big for her now - she wants photos -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 08:11
yeah, i've never heard of that either. -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:07 17
- it has become popular in the US. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:08 16
  - it bothers me on a 'wasteful' level. if you don't want to keep it, that's fine, but donate it, give it away, make something else out of it. - Andie Nov 1, 08:10 15
    - *nods* Kelly debated whether to keep hers or donate it. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 08:16
    - Like big weddings and receptions *themselves* aren't a huge waste -- nm - con_carne Nov 1, 08:13 5
      - well, if you want to get into that, then that opens a whole other topic. - Andie Nov 1, 08:14
      - sure, you can't save the flowers or the cake. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:13 3
        
        except people do both. -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:14 2
        
        which I personally think is stupid (other than the cake top). -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:19
        
        The top of the cake for sure. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 08:15
    - it's like any other item of clothing. The world does not have a clothing shortage. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:10 7
      - depends on how big you think the world is -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 08:14
      - have you *never* seen those charities that give prom gowns to girls who can't afford, or women who buy a dress on ebay because retail is outrageous? -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:11 5
        
        That aside...though she'll never wear it again, that dress means something to Carrie - Jim Nov 1, 08:12 2
        
        this i totally understand. but, like i said, even if you don't want it, trashing *anything* bothers me. -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:13 1
        
        I agree. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 08:14
        
        fair enough, but there is seriously no shortage of wedding dresses. If I want to trash mine, I'm not depriving anyone. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:12 1
        
        No but you are helping to rob them blind. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 08:17
why not? YOu'll never use it again. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:07 2
- but your daughter could -- nm - decline Nov 1, 08:08 1
  - most of the time they probably wouldn't want to. Fashions change. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:08
revenge? -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 08:06
