For sale: wedding dress, never worn.
Now with 100% less dead babies compared to new shoes!
I mean, that'll only let you know their dress size when they were married - which may have been years ago.
So not too different to Tinder bio photos.
My wife has the same size, I managed to go up in weight between buying my wedding suit and us getting married.
Yes she's an amazing cook
I imagine that there are a lot of cases where women would sell their wedding dress without being divorced.
This is the case for someone I know. One of her friends had a beautiful wedding dress that she didn't want to go to waste, so she just gifted it to her as an early wedding present. After her wedding, she did the same, passing it on. No telling where that dress is now, but I like to imagine it's still traveling the world, one wedding at a time. Also, both this woman and her friend have been married to their respective partners for over a decade, so I assume it's at least going adequately, if not well.
If each time they shorten a bit here, add more sequins there, is it still the same dress (of theseus)?
Dress of Theseus is now one of my new favorite tropes. Thank you.
Also, I did not know wedding dresses sometimes have sequins. When you mentioned them, I imagined something like a cabaret dress. Much to my dismay, I discovered that they're tastefully done when I looked it up. Still, if you get invited to a wedding with an outrageously sequined dress, see if you can get me on the list.
Note however that this dress was gifted as a sentimental wedding present to a friend. I would suppose the ones listed on Facebook marketplace are somewhat differently motivated.
You're probably right, but my uninformed, blind optimism tells me that they're selling it to guage demand. Then they send the money back as a wedding gift to help the couple start a new life. I have zero evidence for this, but that's my head cannon.
Without being divorced... yet!
Craigslist got rid of the personal ad spaces, so I just sell my body on the For Sale>Free section. 🤷🏻♂️
Time to start selling mirrors.
Alternative suggestion: Set up a local "Men Seeking Females" group so they can filter you right out.
Yes. You read that right.
