Why I Wore My Wedding Dress Anyways
"If you ask women about their clothes, they tell you about their lives" -- Delia Ephron
Should I or shouldn't I -- a friend would lend the black BCBG, hanging on my closet door lifelessly as the safe, backup option. She implored: don't wear the wedding dress.
But I followed my gut. The indescribable feeling was what led me to love and to heartbreak, and... the broken engagement.
I had said yes to the proposal and yes to the dress I bought on a whim and still admired for its creamy, textured floral pattern. It was me, without alterations.
