This is the case for someone I know. One of her friends had a beautiful wedding dress that she didn't want to go to waste, so she just gifted it to her as an early wedding present. After her wedding, she did the same, passing it on. No telling where that dress is now, but I like to imagine it's still traveling the world, one wedding at a time. Also, both this woman and her friend have been married to their respective partners for over a decade, so I assume it's at least going adequately, if not well.
I bet you that dress would light up under a black light.
Do people have sex in their wedding dresses? That never occurred to me.
What else is it for, that's why its white
That's pretty hilarious. On a serious note, I imagine people wouldn't want to take the risk of having sex in the dress before the ceremony. Afterward, getting the dress off to replace it with some exotic, strappy, crazy lingerie seems like a better idea to me. Still, whatever floats their goat, I guess.
A lot of brides change before the wedding reception. The big poofy thing is often just for the ceremony.
That's a really good point. I forgot that wedding days are structured that way. Still, it doesn't seem like a good idea to have sex in one of those dresses for other reasons. If some people like that, more power to them.
