What to Do with Wedding Dress? Wear it to Field Museum for Free Admission

What do you do with your wedding dress? You’ve spent so much time finding it. You looked so fabulous wearing it — once.

The Field Museum of Natural History offered free admission for anyone wearing a wedding dress (or wedding tuxedo) on Valentine’s Day.  They even had a reception.

Read the story in the Chicago Tribune.

I will marry a couple there in June!

When “THE Dress” Turns into 5 or 6 (N.Y. Times)

Not much surprises me about weddings. But a recent article in the New York Times did.

SARAH NIANOURIS found the perfect wedding dress. Then she continued shopping… Multiple wedding-dress purchases, are a trend in the wedding industry, if the anecdotes mean anything.

Really?!

Josie Daga, the owner of PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com, has labeled the phenomenon multiple-dress syndrome. “A two-dress wedding is old hat,” she said. “Easily 15 to 20 percent of our sellers are two-dress brides. But buying several dresses? This is new.”

There are limits to everyone’s budget. I hear from brides that can’t afford me. If so, how can this be? Or is it such a small percentage of brides that it’s not relevant to 99% of weddings? Or does this just prove I’m a guy?

I wonder if any of the brides I’ve married have done this. Please leave a reply if you have.
