It's fun to go shopping for wedding dresses even if one has no plan to get married in the immediate or near future. This way you know what type of cut suits you--what style of dress you will look for if you make plans to marry quickly and don't have a lot of time to waste.
What I wanted in a dress was a lot of pomp. And I got it. I bought an Italian gown that had been vastly reduced--down to $600 from an original $1500. That was a good deal. And then I eventually sold it, about six years after my wedding. I don't know why I waited so long. I knew from the start that my children wouldn't want it. And I didn't want to enforce the idea that they had to share my taste.
I mean perhaps maybe they would want it, but by then it would be yellowed and I'd have to store the thing and then that just seemed rather excessive and expensive to do and so I figured just sell it. I have enough pictures that they can duplicate it if they like it at some point, about 25 years down the road. If not, no bad feelings.
