Trash the Dress or Bless the Dress

I had a brilliant idea that I would post, “What About the Dress?” and show all sorts of photos with couples in the waves with no worries on the gorgeous wedding gown.  Then I would speculate and think it was hilarious.  

Little did I know, there is a name for it already:  “Trash the Dress”.  Where has this hobby-time wedding blogger been hiding?  Under a rock?   How long has this been a thing?

I think there should be another, more meaningful title.

Hmm….“Bless the Dress”.  Spiritual, emotional, and inspirational.

Also, an unoriginal thought discovered after googling it.  There is a wedding planning business in Florida called “Bless the Dress“.  Click to see their FaceBook Page.

Anytime I have seen photos like this, I’ve thought to myself:
What were the brides planning on doing with the dress after?  Tossing it?  Getting it dry-cleaned?  Running it through the wash hoping for the best?Donating it?  Was this dress just for that purpose?

Now that I’ve had this personal epiphany, I will think to myself from now on:
How soon can I lose weight to fit into my wedding dress so I can do this?

Ultimately, it’s not the dress that matters.  It’s the marriage. 

Notice, all of these are at the ocean which is my haven.
