I would have been happy to wear jeans to a registry office and dragged in a couple of witnesses from the street. My ex had delusions of grandeur and we had the lot - bells, candles, monkey suits, reception for 100..........
I hired everything, beautiful dress, headress, veil and even white shoes. It was a wonderful wedding. All downhill from there. Anyway, afterwards I packed the whole shebang back into its box and sent it back from whence it came.
If I'd had a crystal ball the DH would have gone with it.

My first wedding dress i kept boxed for the whole 5 years we were married. I loved that dress but it had to go as it was a reminder of a marriage gone wrong.
I kept the dress from my second marriage for 20 years but finally said goodbye to it when i found it hadnt stored well in the loft.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

As I was so tiny then (very long time ago), mine was actually a bridesmaid's dress which I loved. I lent it to a colleague who had very little (foster home, no parents to speak of etc), but unfortunately she never gave it back and we both moved on. I was widowed very young but I hope she had better luck, would have loved to keep that dress. Oh well.0
