Do you still have your wedding dress?

Starting on a declutter of the attic and the question always asked by OH...why are you keeping this?

Am I going to wear it again? No. 

Have I daughters who might wish to use it? No.

It has sat happily in its box for 36 years even moved house with us 11 years ago.  

I'm too superstitious now to get rid of it. 

Going to try it on later, it might still fit.

MOH can still fit in hers, tried it on two weeks ago. Sadly the material is a bit hacked about (like Mrs Steve's) so won't win any catwalk prizes at the next fashion show.

I hired my wedding dress, so don't have it now. Mind you I only had 10 days to prepare for our wedding! Surprised

Special licence???  Was it a rush job or were you swept off your feet?  Don't need to answer on the grounds you may not want too Wink

I was married in a registry office and wore a suit as at the time I could afford either:

1.  A full white wedding and all the trimmings; or

2.  Put down a deposit for a house.

Just to let you know that my wedding outfit (a suit) I used afterwards, and I've still got the house with OH's stuff cluttering it all upHappy

Good for you tombar, we prioritised on spending on our wedding. Went with what bits were important to us, not what we thought would impress others. As far as I know everyone had a good time, lots of fun. Course we would do it differently nowadays, but that's 'cos we have lots more to spend!Happy

I've still got the suit I wore for our wedding (38 years ago). I doubt it would still fit, because I was as thin as a rake in those days.

Could probably make another suit out of those massively flared trousers though........

We had been together for a good few years and our eldest son was almost 2, hadn't really given marriage much thought.  OH booked the registry office as a surprise.  Smile All ok though 24 years later! Laughing

My new lounge suit is long gone and considerably outgrown. I have no idea what happened to the dress

but 45 years on I still have the O.H.  

Winner!

I put mine in a charity sack years ago, not feeling sentimental about it at all. We celebrated our silver wedding anniversary this year though and hubby wore the suit he married me in! He does have other suits but felt pleased he could still fit in it. I probably couldn't have fitted in my wedding dress!
