- 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

    - 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
