Re: Know anything about Donating a NEW wedding gown
maybe you should hold on to it. even tho you hold those feelings now, you never know if those feelings will be all gone when you are ready to marry again.
it would be a shame to get rid of a dress, your perfect dress, when you may just find the perfect man to wear it for.
just my opinion.
im sorry, i dont know where to donate it to!

Ladies I know and if you asked me last year I 100% agreed I bought this dress for ME! Cause I loved it. But now I realize that I also bought it for the event with someone else, and I thought I could feel differently.
And I am so angry at him for things he is not doing to allow me to move on with my life, or even could do at the very least for me after everything I did for him.
That dress is just another reminder of how my life was once!!!!
ooh...im so sorry jenny. i hope you find a great place for the dress then and that it makes some other bride very happy. lots of luck!

Re: Know anything about Donating a NEW wedding gown
I'm sorry he's not making your life any easier
I think the idea of donating is great but I feel bad that you'll lose your $
Have you tried reposting here? I bet there are many new brides that may not have seen it yet. what about Ebay?
there's a post on BHB about tight budget weddings

Re: Know anything about Donating a NEW wedding gown
I have a friend whose wedding was called off. She loved her wedding dress so when she meet her DH and they where planning on getting married she asked him if he would mind he said no - so she wore the dress.

Re: Know anything about Donating a NEW wedding gown
Jenny, I just wanted to say that I would get rid of the dress too. I think it would taint a future wedding in a weird way. If you donate it, it might be tax deductible, and you'll know that something good came out of your difficult decision. Good luck!
ETA: I think getting rid of it will put the whole thing behind you

I would probably want to get rid of the dress too. Have you tried craig's list as a way to sell it? Good luck!

jenny-
i want to get rid of my dress and I actually wore mine! I want to get rid of it along with the memories. I wanted to sell it cheap too but no one wanted to buy so I think I am going to donate as well! Thanks for the suggestion and glad to see you happy again and smiling!!! Your new boyfriend is a lucky guy!! :)

I am smiling and have not stopped for the past few months.
Maybe that is why I realize that I don't want to keep something that might ruin a great day....evn though it was the perfect dress for me, and I lose the money, maybe it was not that perfect or the one if I was not meant to wear it!
again glad to see you happy!!! I want details!!where did you meet him? isnt nice to have that happy feeling again? Let me know if you decide to donate.. I want to donate mine as well! we can do it together and be gone with those dresses once and for all!

Re: Know anything about Donating a NEW wedding gown
I'm sorry I saw your dress and it is absolutely beautiful. But, I just ordered my own dress. I think that donating it will be great because you can let go of it, and then a bride that cannot afford such a beautiful dress can wear it. Good luck.

Re: Know anything about Donating a NEW wedding gown
there is a place in port jefferson that takes donations for the ukrainian church - hmmm what is it called... it is right on 112 - i think it is the second time around -i must drive past it 20 times a month and i cant remember i do think it is Second time around.
i am glad you are happy with the new guy i am sorry to are parting with your perfect dress - but when it is time for you to get married to the right guy you will find a brand new perfect gown -
