LOL...Im torn... I already have one wedding dress preserved and can't sell it (from an old engagement 10 years ago)....I don't think I want to do the same thing and have 2! So, I'm thinking of having it made into a christening outfit (providing I get preggo in the next year or so)... if not maybe I'll preserve it, but how long can you wait?

I don't know. I know I don't want to sell it, but I don't know if I want to spend the $ to preserve it. It's hanging in my old bedroom with all my indecision

I'm donating mine to military brides that can't afford to purchase a dress. I can't imagine trashing it; it's too beautiful. I can't imagine letting it sit in my closet; I want someone else to feel as special in it as I did. There won't be anymore children; so no Baptism outift.....donating is the best thing I can think of. Although, right now, I'm not ready to part with it.

I'm not a military bride but you know I've been eyeing your dress. If for whatever reason you can't give it away I'd be more than willing to take it off your hands!!
